Since I do not have any surveyor training or <br /> equipment to measure elevations I cannot say for certain that the grading on Fred Peters property doesn't <br /> conform to the plan, but my eyeball sure seems to believe it is about 2-3 feet above my property at critical water <br /> run off points. <br /> Who does the check to be sure the work is according to plan and when is the check made so that corrections are <br /> still possible if necessary? <br /> Am I reading the plan correctly that elevations would be matched across Fred's property so at the property <br /> line the flows would not come my direction (especially at the swale area and where the tennis court use to be)? <br /> You were skeptical that they didn't have enough room to work the swale correctly (see attached excerpts from <br /> the Orono Council Meeting). After seeing the pictures I've sent recently, do you think they will be able to <br /> correctly divert water away from the patio and make the swale work? <br /> Would it not make more sense for the swale area that they use about an 8" thick concrete "wall" that end caps <br /> the excavation, is 4 feet into the ground and is perhaps about 6" to 12" higher than the ground elevation on each <br /> side of that wall? It would seem that this would make a barrier to stop water from running onto the patio. <br /> At the moment, we are really concerned that the water/drainage issue is not under control and perhaps the plan <br /> will not work or is not being followed. What is your view of this? <br /> Appreciate your efforts very much. <br /> Regards <br /> Ron <br /> i <br />
