I did make it out there today, but I've been unable to get our arborist out there yet.
I see what you mean about the apparent encroachment on your property. We took some survey shots, and I have asked
the design engineer to look at it. If you have some time tomorrow, could we get together and look at it?

RE: follow up
Keith,
I looked at this. The wall was placed based on the NCHRP (National Cooperative Highway Research
Program) Report 537 which recommends 8' between guardrail/barriers and curb for speeds less than 45
mph (Bethel Road).
This alignment, however, does push the outside footing (footing on backside of wall) into private property
for approximately the first 55' of the North retaining wall until Mr. Pajares ROW line turns due north
(approx STA 37+64). It's something I should've identified when the wall was changed from an MSE wall to
a CIP wall. The initial wall design using an MSE wall has a much smaller footing. By using the CIP wall,
there is an overlap.
If the wall was relocated to omit this overlap, there would be an approximate 2-3' offset between Mr.
Pajares existing screening wall and the proposed retaining wall and we would not meet the NCHRP
recommendation. Will Mr. Pajares have concerns about this offset? Do you think he would be agreeable
to a 55'x3' structural easement in order to eliminate the offset?
Sorry this was not identified earlier. Give me a call to discuss options to resolve this when you get a
chance.

Caleb,
Can you review the retaining wall design adjacent to 230 Bethel Road and verify that the design location of
the footer is within the city right of way.

please let me know when the arbor specialist will be on site. I looked at
the pouring they did. the footer appears to be on my property. we still
need to discuss liability to trees that are damaged by the footer.

lastly, they have piled a bunch of dirt on my property up against my trees,
this needs to be removed asap to avoid killing these trees as well.
I apologize for the persistence, but you know how important the tree
screening has been for me along this stretch of property.
i will be around this morning at the property if you are around.
