Hello Melanie,
I am submitting these comments as a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of
Minnesota and not as a representative of my employer. Barr Engineering Co. Has no
involvement in this project or these comments.
The following comments are in response to the resolution titled, 2815 Casco Point Road,
Valdes o/b/o Lisa Thostensen, Emergency Slope Repair – Resolution No. 7315
Wall documentation submittal comments include:
Drainage weep holes do not appear to be constructed 30’ OC as described.
There is no documentation provided that the behind-wall drainage system was
constructed as planned.
Deadman spacing is identified as every 8’ OC and every 3 courses and the plans
show deadman on the 3rd course up and photos show 5 rows of timbers with no
deadman (page 36 and page 30).
On page 9 of Exhibit K, the design limitations state that the design software used does not
review global stability and that this should be performed by a geotechnical engineer. This
documentation has not been included in the application and should be provided prior to
approval.
Also on Page 9 of Exhibit K, Criterium requested additional geotechnical information which
was not provided.
Page 2 of Exhibit J states that this is a test of the ordinance however, if approved this will
set a precedence that after the fact variances will be accepted without providing plans to
properly restore the site.
I am recommending that this motion to approve the application for a variance is tabled or
overturned until further information is provided in the packet for public review.
Peter M. Demshar, PE
