Dear Mr. Thiresen,
Than you for meeting with city staff on July 10, 2014 to discuss the construction of the
proposed retaining wall associated with Your short plat at 509 — 9"' Ave N. As a follow-ul)
to the meeting You provided a letter to die City, dated July 139 2014, describing how the
SS -1 and SS -2 retaining walls can be constructed in accordance with the approved plans
,and without benefit of the, now expired temporary construction easement. You stated in
the meeting and/or in your letter that construction of the wall will occur as follows:
* All excavation will be performed from your property and the wall will be offset from
the joint property line by several inches, The offset will increase as needed if
unforeseen soil conditions are encountered during excavation.
* Based on discussions with your geotechnical engineer, you do not believe shoring will
be required during excavation,
* You plan to use foirnwork to build the retaining wall and you confirmed that you can
place and strip the fortriwork from your property.
* The concrete pours will be completed with a concrete pump truck to allow for clean
placement of mud.
* Temporary erosion control does not need to be placed on the adjacent property to the
south because 1) the upper wall is against a Cut slope, Sloping towards your property
and 2) the lower wall will be set slightly below grade, which will not create the
potential for silt runoff.
Please submit your "applicant"' set ol.approved civil construction plans to the City so the
Engineering Division approval can be modified to include Your confirmation that all work
can be performed from Your property and field adjustments will be made to the location of
the wall to ensure all aspects of the wall and associated construction will be contained
within your property; thereby elli-nirrati ag the need for any temporary construction
