Hatsushi's land for the Beratlis development. I must apologize in advance for not being able to attend the planning meeting on July 13, but a family medical issue has me flying to Montana on that same day. Otherwise, I would definitely attend, and remain happy to field any/all questions from the city or other interested parties. I'd like to make sure the Planning Commission understands that any development activity on the acreage in question, whether by Mr. Beratlis or the Hatsushi family, is of unique impact to my home and family because our is the closest home to that location - our house is literally 21 feet from the fence line for that acreage, and approximately 50 feet from the proposed stockpile. Here are items that I consider of extreme importance for me to support this plan. My general justification for these items is the potential for damage to my property caused by the earthmoving/sculpting activity, the level of dust/dirt that will accumulate during the activity, and the impact on our viewscape for an indeterminate period after the activity: 1. The stockpile is maintained at least 1 foot below the existing elevation of my property line, within a line of sight from anywhere on my property to the eastern extent of the stockpile. This generally concurs with the proposed plan drawing, dated 7/1/05. 2. The stockpile is sculpted to look as natural as possible, and hydroseeded/irrigated within 2 weeks of being finished, to regrow grasses and reobtain a natural appearance. 3. Construction hours/days strictly maintained from 8 am - 5pm, Mon - Friday. 4. A dust control plan put into place during the activity, including daily watering to keep dust to a minimum. 5. A drainage plan put into place to ensure that erosion does not occur from the stockpile or any of the contours around the stockpile, and that no water or mud would enter my property, caused by the stockpile. 6. Mr Hatsushi and Mr Beratlis accept full liability for any damages caused to my property from any of the activities involved in the creation and ongoing existence of the stockpile. Of particular concern to me are cracks/shifting of our pool, cracks/shifting of our house foundation, and cracks/shifting of our rear fence. This would be determined by professional inspection of my property at the completion of the activity, and an inspection within 12 months of completion, at Mr. Beratlis' expense. It is optional to have the property inspected before the activity begins. 7. The stockpile is 90% compacted, to minimize the chance for erosion and sliding. Here is a list of requests I have that would greatly reduce the annoyance factor to my family during this activity. You have already warned me that some of these items may not be feasible, but I'd like to make the request anyway: 1. Delay beginning this activity to September 1, so we aren't affected during the summer months while the kids are out of school, and we are enjoying maximum use of our backyard. 2. Finish the work as quickly as possible after it has begun - within three weeks of initiation, to minimize the period of noise/dirt. Please call me if you have any questions. /21/2006
