Hi, sorry to bother u on vacation. The illegal who was sent by alpine had not a clue and still left garbage ..and i
left it for u to see. The fence needs to be placed on easement line as agreed...no setbacks of a few feet. The
laborer could hardly speak English, would show no ID and when asked for id, pointed to the alpine magnetic
sign on old beat up truck. This does not give me confidence, would it u, keith. Per my surveyor, the true line
arcs, cannot get him out until after christmas. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STRING AND MARK THE LINE AS A
PROFESSIONAL...per surveyor and if city job, city should supervise, and city contractor should not be hiring
illegals, that is why u have a low bid....please acknowledge fence to be built on LINE of easement, not set back
of Two Feet as laborer has said....and no access to my property, plenty of room on easement....as my fence
agreement. You are right, refi of home for funds should be jan 5, per lender. AGAIN, ISSUE IS FENCE LINE
MOVED BACK TO EASEMENT LINE, NOT TWO -THREE FEET UNTO MY REMAINING
PROPERTY....THE EXISTING FENCE WAS EASEMENT LINE?

Ms. Lawson,
The city is under no obligation to build you a new fence. Our goal is to
remove the portion of your fence that encroaches into the city owned
right of way. I simply decided that it was not feasible to move the
existing fence to your new property line due to its state of
deterioration. If you would prefer us to move the existing fence, we
will attempt to do that. My promise to you was simply that the fence
would be as good or better than it is today, not as good or better than
the day it was originally built.
If you look at the settlement we agreed to when we acquired the land for
the road widening, we compensated you more than $9,000 to build the
fence of your choosing along the new property line. We simply can not
fund the construction of the fence you want in addition to the
compensation already given. Please consider the work we are performing
temporary in nature until such time as you are able to build the fence
you desire.
As far as the layout goes, the fence is to be constructed on your side
1
of the property line. It will not be built on city property. I have no
need of any additional set-back, but it can not encroach the right of
way we acquired. There are ample property corners marked, there is no
need to re-survey the property. I am attaching the only copy of the
survey i can access while on vacation, but there is no curvature to your
property line.
One of our inspectors visited your property today. We are getting a
hold of the contractor to discuss the layout. We will also reinforce
that they are not authorized to access your property any more than is
absolutely necessary to complete the work, that they are not to use your
water, and that they must clean up after themselves.
Keith

Hello Keith,
Thank you for your email. You are right, but it was pressure treated,
then stained....
or it would not have upheld against the rot caused by major flooding.
Also, thank you for having the contractor remove the materials from my
property originally placed, by the garage door.
The contractor has hired a Latino by alpine with no supervision, with no
licenses - Mr Peralta-Alpine treats him like a broker and not an Alpine
W-2
....who was told by alpine;
1. MATERIAL: wood can be low grade, not straight - I and my brother
inspected the wood and was low grade, not pressure treated AS previous
or would not have withstood the flooding, which is still current and
throughout construction
2. the contractor laborer had no knowledge of the boundaries and did not
know that the fene line curved....when asked to point out where, was off
3. the contractor laborer said he was to have access to the 101 property
for materials, gates and "water" for the cement, etc. - "No Trespass"
4. no trespass or use of water, i have had a water truck twice which was
a contractor for the city I have paid for....the contractor by how and
where he placed the materials is sloppy at best and has no respect for
private property.

5.Alpine or City needs to have surveyor-we agreed to have the fence on
the easement...the Latino gentlemen was told by Alpine
two feet into the property, "does not have to be exact". My fence permit
and agreement was the fence can be placed on the easement line.
6. I cleaned up the "trash" left by the Alpine contractor...and by the
other contractors permitted to access the property, who should have
stayed on the easement and cleaned up their trash.
Keith, much like the city contractor cutting trees trespassed, did not
do as they said they would and damaged property;
We now have another city contractor, which if this were an important
project, would have oversight by the city, survey flags, material
inspection, etc, would it not?
_______________________/
My surveyor cannot come out until after Christmas to put up flags and
this cannot be a guess by a Latino subcontractor who has no licenses,
bond or permits and is NOT an employee of Alpine, but puts an Alpine
sticker on the truck
...as I would have then the only recourse of city and contractor, when a
heads up can settle this issue. The material needs to be inspected and
at least pressure treated? We have agreed on easement line, not further
set backs?

Sorry to bother you on vacation, but how would you feel? It is not what
people say, it is what they do.
Thank you,

Ms. Lawson,
I visited your property today at your request. I documented with
photographs and samples the condition and material of your existing
fence. I believe the fence Alpine is building will be of like material
to what exists today. Your fence does not appear to be oak as you
suggest.
I left a message for Alpine concerning the encroachment of their
materials onto your property. I also asked them to leave the panels you
requested along the west property line for your use. Hopefully they
will receive both requests and respond appropriately.
I will be out of the office next week, but I will be checking my email
periodically.
