Under most circumstances we would not get involved in what type of landscaping scheme a developer elects to use on subdivisions. However, because the current landscaping allows rocks to roll onto the sidewalk and a pedestrian -accident has occurred as a result of this rock, I must ask that some form of barrier be installed. This barrier should be immediately behind the sidewalk and of sufficient height to decrease the Possibility of stones on the sidewalk. Our only concern is that it not be the metal edging type. This can be hazardous in itself. I will be happy to assist you in reviewing any alternatives you might have. our interest is in reducing the chance that rocks will be on the sidewalk, yet not impact the present landscaping theme to any large degree. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. if you have any questions or concerns, Sincerely, David Stringer Chief Construction Inspector cc: Risk Management Please call me at 221-6605 '00 LaPorte Avenue • P.O.
