Lyle Oman From: Robert Bean [bobbe@bolton-menk.com] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2014 9:35 AM To: Christine Mattson Cc: Lyle Oman; Andrew Mack; Melanie Curtis; David P. Martini; Brian Simmons Subje�ct: 2789 Pheasant Road Christine, Due to concerns from the adjacent property owner(2791 Pheasant Road) regarding revised drainage patterns, I performed a site inspection with Lyle Oman on August 12, 2014. Following are our observations and comments for your consideration: 1. The proposed swale along the east property line was eliminated during construction to accommodate a wider driveway (approximately 7' wider) and provide a side yard at the same elevation as the driveway. 2. In order to provide the side yard,the proposed retaining wall on the northeast corner of the house (approximately 15' in length) was relocated to the east and extended south and north (approximately 95' in length). The retaining wall is now located within 1' of the property line along its entire length and extends over the property line in a couple locations. My understanding is that no variance was approved for the new retaining wall location, and no temporary easement was obtained from the adjacent property owner to perform this work. 3. A narrow rock swale (2' wide) was placed at the bottom of the new wall to provide an outlet for runoff. However, the revised grading and wall location is now directing runoff from the site onto the adjacent property and into the back of the neighbor's garage. Runoff then flows along the side of the garage and out the neighbor's driveway, instead of flowing to the lake as indicated on the approved plan. 4. Revised grading and new stairs on the east side of the boathouse has also adjusted drainage patterns to now direct all runoff from the east side of the property onto the adjacent property near the lake and into the neighbors pump house. 5. The grading along the east property line should be revised to match the approved plan, or a new plan should be submitted by the applicant to resolve the drainage issues created by field revisions to the grading. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me to discuss. Thanks, Robert E. Bean,Jr, P.E. LEED Green Assoc. Water Resources Engineer Bolton & Menk, Inc.
