RE: Lot 1 and 2 Block 1, Registry Ridge Filing 7 Planned Land Division Certification of Lot Grading
As can be seen on the grading plan, this lot was not appropriately designed by the engineer of record,
Justin C. Beckner of United Civil. The south east corner is designed to be higher than the finished grade
at the house. This area did not drain or allow for 6” of separation between TOF and finished grade and
then another 6” of fall within the first 10’ from finished grade at the building. An attachment that was
sent to the builder in order to allow certification from myself and compliance with code is provided.
Also, the approved plot plan that the foundation was built from is also provided. B&J was brought into
this subdivision in order to rectify grading issues and create working drainage scenarios for homes.
Overall, the drainage on this lot is far better than grading plan and completely compliant with applicable
codes and criteria. Upon my visit, the landscape was not complete, but the lot was cleaned up. It is my
professional opinion to approve the certification for this lot.
Sincerely,
