� I have read all of the documents. Is there anything else specific that you need me to do at this time? I believe I have made two escrow payments to you, one for$700 and one for$1,300, for a total of$2,000. In the springtime, I will adjust my plantings based on the recommendations. Let me know if I have completed everything at this time. Thank you.

Please make arrangements to stop by City Hall between 8 am and 4:30 pm Monday— Friday. The resolution requires signatures from both property owners. Please bring your driver's license as proof of identification for your signature to be notarized by City staff. I did stop in and sign last week. Hopefully this is all completed. Yes, we have this completed. Thank you. According to the resolution (page 3, item 4—copy attached), a general planting plan must be submitted and approved prior to the release of the escrow funds. As we discussed, this plan was submitted in May when we originally applied for permits. My understanding is that this was sent to your landscape expert to determine if it is adequate. Please let me know. Landscape comments are attached. Please review and make a few of the suggested adjustments. Lastly, if you recall your permit was issued by us in haste as you were headed out of town. The zoning permit was issued without our usual notification identifying the requirement for submittal of an as-built survey and hardcover calculations. We apologize for this.... However, an as-built survey and as-built hardcover calculations are required to be submitted in order to verify compliance with approved plans and to close out your permit. First of all, this permit was not issued in haste because I was leaving town. This permit was started back in May. The Council approved everything, and then when I questioned why the permit was not issued, you informed me that I had not submitted the paperwork. This was not accurate. We had submitted everything. I have reviewed my permit and there is no requirement for an as-built survey or as-built hardcover calculations. I have already spent over$2,500 on surveys to put steps in. This project has already been signed off on final inspection by your office according to the plans and permit. Spending another$1,000 for another survey after a final inspection has been made makes no sense to me, especially when my permit did not require it. Perhaps "haste"wasn't a good word to use, but we did process it quickly once we had all of the info we needed z
