Melanie,
Grading Plan Comments.
1. There are a number of site plans and surveys in the packet you provided which made review
very confusing. In the end I focused my review on the site plan labeled 1- 230594MS
Certificate 27JUN23 Update. Further I limited by review to the area lakeward of the house as
I understand that to be the area of concern.
2. Comparing #1 and #7 (the Gronberg survey from 2022) it appears the general drainage
pattern of the lake yard of the property above the retaining walls is similar although 962
contour is now further east. The proposed top elevation of the top retaining wall is shown at
961 where the original landscape border in the same location was shown at 960.2. This 9 inch
difference seems inconsequential overall and could assist with overall draining plan. The top
of all elevation on #1 is slightly differ from the wall profile in Item #3 and #8. They shows the
proposed top of wall at 960.8 which would be a 7 in difference form the preconstruction
existing elevation.
3. The proposed plan does depict a drainage pater for the lake yard above the retaining wall that
will direct surface runoff to a catch basing and pipe. This is in keeping with the retaining wall
engineers recommendations. This should provide the necessary protection of the slope and
wall system as well as limit any surface runoff to neighboring properties.
4. Couple minor items- The site plan says the address is unassigned and the Owner is “City X”. It
also says the field survey was completed on 1/10/22.
Retaining’s wall Comments. (these are not intended to supersede the building officials review of the
plans)
1. The retaining wall design engineers letter notes that the necessary wall repairs were
completed.
2. The Engineers letter sates no soil analysis was completed. However some soil data was
provided in separate documents. It would be good to have a comment from him on the
sample test results to ensure they met the specifications of his design.
