the conditions specified below. If your plans should change and your project will no longer meet
these conditions, please contact me before proceeding.

Re: Proposed Project: Driveway Repair at 17 E. Atlanta St
Zack,
Further to our conversation this afternoon, we would like to eliminate a drainage issue in our driveway
behind 17 E. Atlanta. This driveway also services 19 E. Atlanta. We own both of these houses, and we
own the driveway.
There is a catch basin in the middle of the driveway (see diagram) which is clogged with sand, and no
practical way to prevent future clogging. We propose to remove a section of the concrete measuring
approximately 15' x 15' surrounding the existing catch basin. We will excavate in that 15' x 15' area
approximately 3' deep around the existing catch basin, which will remain. We will then line the
excavated hole with filter cloth, fill with stone, and cover with filter cloth. This will serve as a storm
water infiltration system. We will then pour a 4" concrete slab over the repaired area.
There is an additional 13' W x 9' L section of driveway which abuts Atlanta Street behind 15 E. Atlanta.
We also own this part of the driveway. This section is cracked and buckled. There are TOWB water and
sewer lines running beneath this section. We propose to remove and replace the cracked and buckled
concrete. I spoke with Jonathan Babin ofTOWB Public Works who visited the site. He gave the go
ahead from his standpoint, and said that he would have someone mark where the water and sewer lines
run. He also gave the OK to form a ridge where the driveway abuts Atlanta Street which will divert run-
off water to the east end of the street rather than flowing down our driveway.
We are requesting a CAMA exemption for this project.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks regards,
Jim Busby
