Jennifer,
The owner of the Belvedere house re-graded the yard and provided
a new topo survey on 9/19/18.
That survey indicated that water from that lot would flow onto
three adjacent properties, including yours.
That final inspection failed 9/24/18.
Using the failed survey we gave the owner detailed instructions
on what was required to pass inspection.
The owner regraded the yard and provided a new topo survey,
which was approved on 10/16/18.
Also, following our recommendations, he installed several French
drains in the retention areas to drain through a non-porous soil layer.
This new permit also included the fence. It appears to be free standing
and I passed it as well.
We issued a new C.O. on 10/18/18.
We approved an elevation of 10.1’-10.2’ along the common rear
property line (adjacent to your property).
That should create a ridge that keeps the storm water from each
lot on their own lot.
If you have any questions about this or any future issue, please
contact me. We can meet on site almost any time.
Regards,
Dan Arlington

Subject: 278 Seminole Road
Joe, Dan and Scott,
I am not sure who I should reach out to so I thought best to
contact all of you. As you are aware, I informed the city of the
extensive water issue on my property that was caused by the house behind
me (283 Belvedere). Their CO was pulled and the builder, as I understand
it, was to fix the issue before they could occupy the house. They also
put in an unpermitted fence and it seems that part of their fence was
nailed to mine.
My house is currently under construction and we discussed the
water issue 2 weeks ago while on property. I am prepared to spend
considerable amount of money to ensure that my site is built up and
follow the recommendations to abide by what has to be done, but I am
very concerned about the house behind me. People moved in to the house
at 283 Belvedere yesterday, and to my knowledge, have not fixed the
issue.
I can resend the videos and pictures of the extent of the water
issue, but I need some help and guidance from the city. My lot sustained
some damage as a result of their water issue that I did not pursue
because I was planning to level the house and we will replace the fence.
Please advise me on what the next steps are regarding this.
Thank you,
Jenn Lagner
