�4 � <br /> TO: Greg Gappa, Public Services Director <br /> FROM: Ron Moorse, City Administrator � ' �� <br /> DATE: September 18, 2000 <br /> SUBJECT: Concerns of Neighbors Regarding New Home Construction on Caroline Avenue <br /> I have received several calls from the neighbors of a property on Caroline Avenue on Casco Point <br /> expressing numerous concerns about the construction of a new house on a tear-down lot next to their <br /> property. I followed up with Lyle on several of the concerns,but they have called with mare. Please <br /> follow-up to review the following concerns: <br /> 1. When the foundation was excavated, they placed all of the excavated material onto <br /> the lakeshore side of the house. When the neighbors notified Lyle about this,he had <br /> them hau180 tandem loads of the material away. The neighbors say there are sti1130 <br /> loads left to haul away,but now that the house is built,there appears to be no way to <br /> get trucks into and out of the lakeside yard to haul the material away. What is the <br /> status of this fill? <br /> 2. The neighbors indicate the site was filled to raise the elevation by 4-6' for the house <br /> foundation. This filling, as well as the fill placed onto the lakeside yard of the <br /> property, has totally changed the drainage on the site. The drainage used to flow <br /> naturally to the east. The property now slopes considerably toward the neighbor's <br /> yard. Lyle has indicated a swale will be installed to keep the drainage off of the <br /> neighbor's property. I have several questions regarding this situation. <br /> a. Has the drainage on the site been significantly changed due to fill being <br /> placed on the site? <br /> b. If so, do we have authority to approve or deny this type of filling? <br /> c. If not, why not? <br /> d. If yes, why did we allow the filling? <br /> e. Did you or Tom Kellogg review drainage issues prior to authorizing the <br /> filling? <br /> f. Is it going to be possible to direct the drainage away from the neighbor to <br /> ensure their property receives no more drainage than it did priar to the new <br /> house? If so, how is this going to be accomplished? <br />
