RE: 909 Blondel Street Certification of Lot Grading Supplemental Memo
To Whom it May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to provide an explanation of discrepancies on the certification of lot grading
for 909 Blondel Street, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Item #4 was marked as “no,” because the top of foundation (slab) is not at least 6-inches above the highest
grade surrounding the structure. Based on the City of Fort Collins-approved Final Grading and Erosion
Control Plan by JR Engineering (dated 01/24/07), the grading plan did not permit a 6-inch drop adjacent to
the structure.
Item #5 was marked as “no,” because there is not a minimum of 5% slope away from the structure within
the first 5 to 10 ft adjacent to the residence on any side of the building. The 5% slope is not possible for
this property for two reasons. Firstly, the building was constructed 0.2 ft below the design elevation of
4963.8 ft. Also, even if the building had been built to the design elevation, the approved grading plans did
not permit a 5% slope away from the building on the north side of the building.
Item #7 was marked as “no,” because the stormwater drainage swale on the south side of the building is
not a minimum of 6-inches below the elevation of ground adjacent to the structure. The approved grading
plan did not design the adjacent drainage swale as 6-inch below the ground adjacent to the structure.
If this structure were to meet items #4, 5, and 7 contained within the attached certification, the finished
floor would have needed to be designed and constructed at 4964.50 ft, instead of 4963.8 ft.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments regarding the above
items.
