Arnie — thanks for your email. I apologize for the delayed response.
1. Attached you will find (3) pictures showing the existing buffer with the proposed wall location noted.
2. The HOA requires all slopes on the lot to be no steeper than 3:1. Based on the finish floor elevation of the newly
built home and the close proximity of the house to the buffer obtaining a 3:1 slope is not possible. We have
petitioned the HOA for a variance however they requested we pursue this permit and install a wall to achieve
the 3:1 slope.
Please let me know if you need any additional information relating to this project.
Thank you -

Hey there Mr. Wetter!
I just checked on the status of your permit, we have a remote lady doing most of the permitting right
now while Michael and I tackle the field work. It looks like your application would have been delivered

to our spreadsheets mid -week last week and it should be in queue soon, some others just before yours
are starting to be worked on now! I hope this helps and I am sorry I know its not a direct answer.

Devynne- good afternoon! I hope you're having a productive week.
I wanted to check in to see if this submittal package has made it onto your desk yet?
The customer & HOA involved in this project have asked for an update. I let them know I would check in

Hey Mr. Wetter,
After reviewing your plans, to move forward with the construction of the retaining wall
and allow the fill in Zone 2 of the buffer to remain, you will need to apply for buffer
authorization. I have attached the link in this email.
Let me know if you have any further questions!

Mr. Burkhard & Mrs. Brown — attached you will the following documents:
1. Draft site plan showing a proposed retaining wall & proposed fill area below the
retaining wall
2. Profile views of the proposed wall & fill areas
We are proposing the fill areas below the wall in order to minimize the amount of wall
required.

The fill areas below the wall will be stabilized immediately following the wall install. We
could possibly plant some native species below the wall to better stabilize the fill area if
that seems reasonable.
If/when the impacts are approved, we will engage a structural engineer to design the
wall and structural pad to support the wall to ensure longevity. We would also be
engage a soil tech to inspect & certify all fill below & behind the proposed wall.
Please review these documents and let me know what questions/comments you may
have.
If the proposed impacts look acceptable, I will complete and submit an official buffer
variance application.
I appreciate your help on this project.
Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!
