My husband and I would like to work the homeowner, the Valdes Lawn Care contractor, Paul <br />Schimnowski to discuss options that have been evaluated by licensed engineers such that the <br />final version of the bluff retaining wall structure has been adequately vetted to maintain the <br />long term integrity of the bluff and the risk of collapse is minimized. <br /> <br />I ask the City Council to require that containment measures must be implemented to <br />compensate for the change in elevation from the applicant's property to the adjacent east and <br />west properties such that erosion is mitigated and controlled. Since the licensed engineer who <br />designed the retaining walls is not responsible for the site layout and gradient services, I would <br />request that a site civil engineer provide the written assurances that the work was completed <br />based on known industry specifications and building codes for mitigating soil erosion and <br />collapse of lake side slopes. I believe this proposed plan is patently inadequate and ask the <br />City Council members to reject this application regarding the after-the-fact variances for the <br />retaining walls, a new boathouse, and a new lakeside deck to be installed within the lakeside <br />bluff. <br />Regards, <br />Carol Price <br />2813 Casco Point Rd
