Attention:
Dear Mr. Close:
As per Graham Foster's request, I have made a field inspection of the fill
that was being brought into Section I and II of Evergreen Estates
Subd ivision.
The material that was being brought into Section I was filling the low
parts of Lot No. 14, which is the remaining vacant parcel on the west
side of the roadway. The materials being placed appeared to be in
conformance with the grades as shown on the Filed Map.
After further discussion with the Owner of the subdivision, I advised him
to be careful and not to place this material in the area of the house and
the septic system, and to remove any fill that had any objectionable
material in it. He advised that he would do that.
My inspection further revealed that they are filling in unknown areas of
the Phase II section of the subdivision. As there were no survey markers
available, I do not know exactly what areas are being filled. However, in
any event, it was close to the proposed roadway. This area should not
be filled without the benefit of a grading plan and/or proper engineering or
surveying. When the Owner of the subdivision called me, I advised him
of that and he stated he would stop filling in that area.
I also questioned the type of fill that was being placed, and advise that
during the field inspection we saw tires, wood, trees, plastic pipe, frozen
material, organic materials, and other such materials that is not conducive
to proper fill for ~oadway construction.
If any unsuitable material has been placed in the subgrade or subbase of
the proposed road, it will need to be removed prior to any construction or
subsequent acceptance by the Town.
