Barr Engineering Co. Has no <br />involvement in this project or these comments. <br />The following comments are in response to the resolution titled, 2815 Casco Point Road, <br />Valdes o/b/o Lisa Thostensen, Emergency Slope Repair – Resolution No. 7315 <br />Wall documentation submittal comments include: <br />Drainage weep holes do not appear to be constructed 30’ OC as described. <br />There is no documentation provided that the behind-wall drainage system was <br />constructed as planned. <br />Deadman spacing is identified as every 8’ OC and every 3 courses and the plans <br />show deadman on the 3rd course up and photos show 5 rows of timbers with no <br />deadman (page 36 and page 30). <br /> <br />On page 9 of Exhibit K, the design limitations state that the design software used does not <br />review global stability and that this should be performed by a geotechnical engineer. This <br />documentation has not been included in the application and should be provided prior to <br />approval. <br /> <br />Also on Page 9 of Exhibit K, Criterium requested additional geotechnical information which <br />was not provided. <br />Page 2 of Exhibit J states that this is a test of the ordinance however, if approved this will <br />set a precedence that after the fact variances will be accepted without providing plans to <br />properly restore the site.
