RE: Home, movin project.
There have been some concerns raised b the local communit relative to y our pendin pro
Namel the, Cit has received reports of operations occurrin in the middle of ni and that
there has been excavation on the where soils were removed and new fill brou back in that ma
have been in excess of slab removal.
Considerin these items and followin our conversation Frida mornin and evenin the Cit
w ill re the followin to be completed.
1 . No excavation, demolition or earthwork of an kind ma be undertaken unless supervised
b a licensed environmental specialist. The Cit must first approve such specialist.
2. A licensed environmental specialist shall perform the necessar investi includin
takin soil samples, from the 3 area locations as marked upon the site b the Cit Prior
to the issuance of a Buildin Permit, a report shall be prepared that provides an anal
of an detrimental findin If no such conditions are found the specialist shall provide a
report to the Cit that no such conditions were found.
3. A licensed environmental specialist shall perform the necessar investi includin
takin appropriate soil samples, from the propert durin and earth movin activities
and/or for the excavation of the footin foundations and service utilit laterals. A report
shall be prepared that provides an anal of an detrimental findin If no such
conditions exist the specialist shall provide a report that no such conditions were found.
4. Should detrimental conditions be found under items 2 and/or 3 above or in other areas, all
further work shall cease and the environmental specialist shall immediatel notif the

documentation from the environmental specialist that no detrimental conditions were

5. The Owner shall post all permits, contact names and project timetables on an appropriate
temporar sign.
6. The Owner shall provide the City a $5,000 escrow m via letter of credit or cash deposit
that will ensure that all required elements are complied with and that the home movement
is completed in a timely fashion.
7e The City recommends that that the Owner holds weekly meetings with neighborhood
persons that may have concerns on their project. The Owner shall attempt in good -faith
address any and all such reasonable concerts.
I realize that these requirements may appear burdensome, but are necessary to ensure that your project
succeeds in the long -term and maintains positive relationships with the local community. If these items are
tackled in a timely manner your project should not be unnecessarily delayed. I believe that your project
upon its completion will certainly be a positive asset to the area.
