Harmony Cottages Site Certification
IV. Concrete Pans
2. The longitudinal slope of the concrete pan adjacent to the western property has been
constructed flatter than the minimum slope of 0.4%. This concrete pan drains very small basin
with minimal impervious area; therefore, the owner has approved the slope of the pan as
constructed. Please refer to the attached owner acceptance letter.
X. Site Grading
2. Several of the private concrete alleys (identified as outlots on the plat) were not constructed
with an inverted crown as detailed in the approved construction plans. Each alley has
longitudinal slope that is in general conformance to the design plans so runoff will sheet flow off
the alley and remain in conformance with the drainage basin plan. Since the concrete alleys are
functional as constructed, the owner has accepted the improvements as is. Please refer to the
attached owner acceptance letter.

Mr. Boyle
It has been brought to our attention that there are several site improvements on the
Harmony Cottages site that were not constructed per plan. This letter is to address the
three areas that were not constructed per plan.
1. Private Concrete Alleys: The design plans called for each concrete alley to be
constructed with an inverted crown with 2% cross slope to a center flowline.
There was miscommunication during construction and the alleys were not
constructed with an inverted crown and are essentially flat with no cross slope
from edge to edge. Each alley has longitudinal slope that is in general
conformance to the design plans so runoff will sheet flow off the alley and
remain in conformance with the drainage basin plan.
2. Private Concrete Pan: The concrete pan that runs along the western property
line was constructed with a slope of 0.15% which is below the minimum
acceptable slope. It is acknowledged that there will be limited areas of ponding
water along this pan due to the flat slope but this pan drains a very small basin
and very little impervious area. These limited areas of ponding are acceptable
and do not require additional field correction.
3. Over Lot Grading: There are several lots that have been constructed without a
minimum of 2% slope across the lot. These areas are high points in between
two concrete alleys that do not receive tributary runoff from adjacent
impervious area and there was no ponding water observed on these lots during
several rain events earlier this spring. Additionally, there is one lot in the
southwest corner of the property that has ponding water. This is the first lot
that will undergo building improvements and the grade will be modified to
match the approved design plans with the construction of the home. For this
reason the over lot grading is acceptable and does not require additional field
correction.
Please accept this letter as my acknowledgement and acceptance of the construction
discrepancies within the Harmony Cottages Development. If you have any questions
please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Harmony Limited, LLC
