53 Oceanside Drive EMAIL 06.26.2009 1Mr. Carper:
Thanks for your information. There is one important fact relayed to me
by my contractor Dean Davis, who knows a lot more about these things
than do I. Starting in mid May, last month, long after your 2008 aerial
pictures, he and I personally witnessed new construction of that pool
deck at 53 Oceanside Drive, which was being changed out from that
semi-pervious deck, to what Mr. Davis described as an "impervious" deck.
I hope this better clarifies my original concern, and is what I
requested be investigated. Please let me know about that at your
convenience. Thanks for your investigation of this matter.

Mr. Morello,
Public Works staff researched your concerns on 53 Oceanside
Drive. As originally constructed in 1999, this property was over 50%
impervious coverage. Oceanside Court/Drive are private streets located
on easements from the adjacent properties, such that half of the street
width along the lot frontage in this neighborhood is included in each
lot’s impervious surface coverage. However, the 50% impervious surface
limit for residential lots did not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2002, so
the original construction was not subject to an impervious limit. In
2005, the residents applied for and received a city building permit to
construct a swimming pool with sand-set paver deck. Per City Code,
swimming pools are not counted as impervious area. While there are no
notes in the permit file, our assumption is that the City required the
sand-set paver deck on order to provide a semi-pervious surface for the
pool decking. The deck size approved in 2005 appears to be consistent
with the surface coverage visible in the 2008 aerial pictures available
to Staff. Provided that the pavers continue to be set on a sand base,
this is consistent with the original permit, and there is no further
City action required or planned on this concern.

Mr. Hanson:
I'm just following-up on our telephone conversation from Monday
regarding the concerns about the Shields' residence at 53 Oceanside
Drive. I did as you said and left a message with Rick Carper, but I did
not receive a reply to my inquiry. Please get back to me with a
response at your earliest convenience. If this should require a
discussion at a city meeting, I would like to be notified so that I can
be sure to attend and give my input.
Thanks for your attention to this matter
John Morello
