Dear Jack:
On February 26, 1998, City Administrator, Tom Melena addressed a letter to you regarding drainage
issues in your Valley View Estates development. You assured the City that you would take care of
the issues in question. To date these issues have not been resolved and I have also received
complaints on other issues.
I have been directed to advise you that the following must be corrected by yourself and be approved
by the City before any further permits will be issued or inspections made on your 8-unit complex
now under construction, or any other new projects. Below is a list of all issues to be resolved,
including the section of the City Ordinance pertaining to them.
