RE: Enclaves on the Parkway
Dear Mr. Blom:
I have received and reviewed the information you provided on the east slope channel
verification. I am somewhat amazed that after all the time put in on this project, including
meetings, telephone calls, etc. that we are still faced with a situation two months after our last
meeting where we have slopes steeper than 3:1. I am confused as to what value the overall
slope has in this analysis. In actuality, a mower will be on slopes steeper than 3:1 for
approximately twelve of the fourteen shots provided. I am unsure of the best way to phrase this
or to convey it to you, but the City has tried to be very clear in the past that the only acceptable
slope on the east side slope is a minimum 3:1, not a composite 3:1. Any area of this channel
side slope should meet a 3:1 slope. It is obvious from the information provided that the 3:1 is
an obtainable slope. So again, I am somewhat confused as to why we are playing games and still
having break ridges at 7 and 24 foot intervals with a flat slope on the top side and a steep slope
on the bottom side.
As my December 14, 1995 letter stated, if this was not resolved by February 15, 1996 then I
would have no option but to refuse any additional requests for building permits. We have tried
to work with you on this particular issue and we have worked hard and I know you have worked
hard to try to resolve this but we are still in a situation where we have slopes that are
unacceptable. Even knowing that portions of the slopes were steeper than 3:1, we sent our
Leisure Services Department out to inspect the area because they would be the ultimate party
responsible for mowing and maintaining the area. They have stated that it would not be feasible
to expect a mower to mow and maintain this area with a body of water at the foot of the steeper
slopes.
The City has no option other than to reject the additional grading as done on the side slopes and
to again request that the slopes be cut and graded to a 3:1 slope. Our intent is not to delay the
construction of the Enclaves Subdivision. As I am well aware, approximately 50% of the lots
have permits on them at this time. However, the City cannot allow the subdivision to be built
out while we are still trying to address the relatively simple matter of grading a side slope to a
3:1. Because our intent is to continue to work with you, I am extending the deadline to have
this issue resolved until March 15, 1996. The extension of the deadline is totally based on the
fact that an effort has been made. However, that effort has fallen short of the criteria laid out
by the City. Therefore, the City will allow the continued construction in the Enclaves
Subdivision until March 15, 1996. Prior to that time, the City requests information submitted
on fifty foot intervals as previously submitted that show, not composite slopes, but actual slopes
no steeper than 3:1.
If you should have any questions or need any additional information please feel free to contact
me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
Assistant City Manager/City Engineer
