4. The DEVELOPER has created or shall create unit ownership in said dwellings units, other improvements
and lands through filing of a Declaration of Unit Ownership (hereinafter Declaration), pursuant to Chapter
47C of the North Carolina General Statutes.
5. The DEVELOPER has caused to be formed or will cause to be formed at the time of filing of the
Declaration, the PARK PHILLIPS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION (hereinafter
Association), a non-profit corporation organized and existing under and by the virtue of the Iaws of the
State of North Carolina, for the purpose, among others, of handling the property, affairs and business of
the Development; of operating, maintaining, re -constructing and repairing the common elements of the

hereto, the COMMISSION and DEVELOPER do hereby mutually agree as follows:
1. The DEVELOPER shall construct the Disposal System in accordance with the permit and plans and
specifications hereafter issued and approved by the COMMISSION, and shall thereafter properly operate
and maintain such systems and facilities in accordance with applicable permit provisions and law.
2. The DEVELOPER shall not transfer ownership and/or control of the Disposal System to the Association

This is obviously a VERY SERIOUS problem.i will look foward to a response from the city regarding
an apparent oversight (or lack of) a final inspection,as well as a reply from Superior Construction
Company.Something is amiss with the permitting/approval of the tie in to the main sewer line,which
never occured.Let me know what you hear from the city,and I will assist in contacting Superior.
I will also pursue other contacts with Building Standards.
This situation is unacceptable!

Subject: Sewer Overflow
Doug:
At 9:00 am this morning, a manhole at the entrance to our complex (Park Phillips Townhomes at
Sharonview Road and Park Phillips Court) was spewing sewage and water. The incident was called in
and your crew responded promptly. After digging for most of the day, the crew discovered that the
sewer pipe from the complex was never connected to the city pipe under Sharonview Road. It is now
7:30 pmand your crew is diligently working to make that connection.. It will probably be 11:00 p.m.
before the work is complete and then we have the problem of a gaping hole covering over half the
entrance to our community which must be repaired.
Homeowners at Park Phillips are incredulous that this was permitted to happen. First of all, you
should know that we have had myriad problems with the work of the General Contractor on this
project, Superior Construction, and the developer, Terry Birch of Renaissance Development. We do
not understand why there was no inspection of the connection of the systems, and if there should have
been an inspection, how was this missed? What will be the consequences to the developer and the
contractor? Will they be billed (and collected) for the cost of this repair that otherwise is paid for by
CMUD customers and taxpayers? How prevalant is this problem in Char Meek? How can we be
assured that any other connections have been properly made? What impact does over 3 years of
sewage dumping into the ground have on the soil in this section of the community?
As you can see, there are a number of questions for which homeowners want answers. We expect a
full investigation from CMUD management into this incident and an accounting to us of the findings.
In the meantime, I would appreciate a contact from you to inform me of your plan. As President of
our homeowners' association, I. will share your plan and findings with other homeowners,.

Enclosed are the documents sent to this office for the Final Certification of the Subject
Project Park Phillips Townhomes. The did not provide the proper certification page
although I had explained to them that this document would be necessary to close out the
project. Historically, we have allowed the Certification Page to be submitted with details
of how after construction/post construction PE evaluations of the system have been
performed. These have been minor in nature and therefore (because there is no means to
execute all complete PE certifications after construction) I have entered the projects in
BIMS as complete and the letter of receipt has been sent out.
Please provide your comments/questions regarding the attached documents and let us
know of any comments you have about future submittals of Final Certifications that are
submitted with comments.

Dear Ms. Browder:
Enclosed please find the final certification for the Park Phillips Townhomes project
(WQ0020754). Also enclosed are "As -Built Drawings" of the sewer system and other items
pertinent to the certification. LandDesign was neither the Design Engineer nor the Engineer of
Record. Our efforts are only an attempt to provide NCDENR with the required information to
accept the system so that our client, Mr. David Young of Renaissance Development Company,
LLC, can turn ownership of the system over to the HOA of Park Phillips Townhomes.
The following items were used in determining our recommendation for acceptance by NCDENR:
1. An "As -Built Drawing" of the system was prepared, reviewed and found to be within
allowable tolerances, except for the segment that tied into the existing sewer. The slope of
this line is 0.33% which is less than the minimum required. After calculating the minimum
slope requirements, it was determined that the velocity was not less than two (2) FPS
when flowing full.
f the manholes an

functioning for approximately five (5) years.
3. Review of a video provided by the owner dated April 24, 2007. Our conclusion of the video
review revealed a separation in the 8" sewer line approximately 50' from manhole #1. (see
attached field reports for corrective measures taken)
Based on the above findings and corrections, along with the fact that this is a functioning system,
it is our belief that this system should be accepted by NCDENR.
