12. Final site cleanup has been completed.
13. I personally visited the site as part of the certification process, and in my professional
opinion, the as-built survey is an accurate representation of the site conditions.
14. Based on this information, I certify that (check one):
□ The elevations and drainage patterns of the lot/site are in substantial conformance with the City
approved drainage and grading plan for the property (information attached).
The elevations and drainage patterns of the lot/site as measured are in general conformance with the
City approved drainage plan with exceptions (information attached). In my professional judgment the
elevations and grading of the lot/site as constructed are functionally adequate and equivalent to the
specifically approved drainage plan, and will affect stormwater drainage on and off the lot/site in a
manner consistent with the approved drainage plan.

RE: 1631 Lakeshore Drive Certification of Lot Grading
Permit Application # B2201448
Larimer County Parcel # 8730105014
To Whom It May Concern:
The elevations and drainage patterns shown on the attached as-built elevations for a drainage
certificate at 1631 Lakeshore Drive by Northern Engineering (05/04/23) are in general
conformance with the city-approved 1631 Lakeshore Drive grading plan by Keefe Civil (02/25/22)
with the following exception.
Item #3 in the attached certification of lot grading was initialed “No” because all as-built elevations
are not within 0.2 ft tolerance of the approved grading plan. The property owner decided to have a
concrete pad placed in the most northwestern corner of the backyard. The builder, Hammersmith
Structures, worked with me on ensuring the concrete sloped away from the foundation and down
into the side lot line swale. Despite as-built lot line elevations differing from the approved grading
plans, the elevations and drainage patterns are consistent with the site’s grading plan.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments regarding this
certification of lot grading. (970) 215-6808
