Saturday August 8, 2009 <br /> Eric.....I am the owner of the property (3125 Casco Circle) next door to Fred Peters on the North. You left a <br /> card in my door indicating you are the construction project manager and to contact you if I have any questions <br /> or concerns. <br /> As you are likely aware from Sven, my only reservation about the project was the subject of run-off water onto <br /> my property and the part of my patio covered by an easement. I was assured by Sven that the proposed plan and <br /> grading would prevent a water run off. The prevention was to include a graded "swale" to direct water away <br /> from the adjacent patio and end capping to prevent errosion of the easement. <br /> The back-fill and grading that was done did not appear to be in conformance with the plan. It rained last night <br /> and I awoke this morning with about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of mud on the patio and covering one of my patio drains <br /> completely. The "swale" was mostly washed out onto the patio. I am attaching a number of pictures showing the <br /> situation. I am certain the swale was not properly done as dirt was at an elevation above the patio floor. I had <br /> put some rocks and a piece of railroad tie I had cut to help prevent dirt from running onto the patio but it just <br /> flowed underneath these make-shift devices. <br /> Further, no effort has been made to "end cap" the excavation to prevent the exposed dirt holding the patio <br /> easement from washing away. I am fearful that this could lead to a collapse of the lattice or even the stone <br /> barbecue if left exposed and if we have some heavy rains this falL I have enclosed pictures of that situation also <br /> in which you can see that some of the dirt is washing away from the easement toward Fred's. <br /> One of your sub-contractors, Concrete Science, did replace a section of the lattice they damage with their <br /> digging equipment but the supporting post was also loosened by the encounter with the equipment but cannot be <br /> fixed until the "end capping" is complete. Can you tell me when the "end capping" will occur so the support <br /> post can be secured? <br /> I would asked: "what is the plan to correct the situation so that I am not having to deal with mud flowing onto <br /> the patio and into my drain and how soon wii that plan be effected?" <br /> An e-mail reply would be appreciated. <br /> Sincerely. <br /> Ron Dudley <br /> 3125 Casco Circle <br /> Orono, MN 55397 <br /> 3 <br />
