Home My WebLink AboutRe: as-builts y • �. Melanie Curtis From: Melanie Curtis Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 4:21 PM To: 'AI Musech' Subject: 465 Spring Hill Rd AI Thank you for meeting with me yesterday. As you know, the construction project at 465 Spring Hill Road falls under the City's requirement for submittal of an as-built survey prior to release of the Certificate of Occupancy (CO). The purposes for the foundation survey prior to framing and the as-built survey prior to CO are several: The foundation survey assures that, before additional resources are put into framing the structure, the foundation for the structure is placed in the correct, approved, location and at the correct elevation. Further, the as-built survey certifies the final topography of the site; assures that the property grading is conducted according to the approved grading plan to verify drainage; hardcover and structural coverage as installed conforms to both the City Code and approved levels for the project; and all other improvements to the properly not addressed by the foundation survey are of the correct size and installed in the correct location. The as-built survey also serves as a final "snap shoY'of the property to use as an accurate reference in the future as to what is approved and conforming on the property. I spoke with our engineer this AM and can offer a compromise regarding the as-built. Because hardcover is not a concern and because the property involved allows for significant spacing between adjacent homes, we can allow you to submit an as-built of only the areas where work was conducted on site, specifically the house location and driveway. I think this is a significant reduction in area considering the size of the property as a whole. I hope this helps you as it is below the standard but still fits the spirit of the code requirement. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Melanie Curtis To: AI Musech Subject: RE: 465 Spring Hill Road AI Thanks for the email. Our as-built survey requirement was adopted, along with the foundation survey requirement, in September of 2008. Our permit paper work was updated not long after that. The permit application form you used to submit the Zona permit is dated 9/29/09 and the informational packet attached to the permit form included our updated requirements.

The revised Building Permit packet dated 4/26/2011 now has it included. From your email below, I now know that City code requires an as built survey, even though we were not notified of this requirement by way of the Building Permit packet being issued in August 2010. Since we do not know all of Orono's codes and ordinance, the cost of this survey was not included in our bid to the owner. The first we were made aware that this might be a requirement was seeing it listed on the permit card. This was well after we submitted our bid to the owner. The owner authorized us to proceed to build this home based on the bid we gave him. The owner is not willing to pay for the additional charge for this survey. We build homes in many municipalities and need to trust that the information we receive from that municipality is comprehensive and complete in order to give an accurate bid to our owners that they can trust. Please call me to discuss this.

The plans are dated 10-3-11. We have the following comments with regards to engineering matters: • The site and grading plans are generally acceptable from an engineering standpoint. • There several proposed items that were not included in the as-built drawing that may not have been constructed, but should be addressed for the future. The 10-5-10 plan shows entrance monuments, a bocce court, and a driveway to the existing garage. If these items were constructed, they should be shown on the as-built plan. If they were not, constructing these items at a later date may trigger additional review. If you have any questions, please call me at(651) 604-4894 or send an email to darren.amundsen a�stantec.com.
