To the best of my knowledge, the surveyed grading is in compliance with the approved grading plan for this lot and subdivision as shown on the approved utility plans. The relative elevations as depicted may change subsequent to the date of the survey, due to the subsidence or up eaval of soil, addition or removal of soils by acts of man, erosion by wind or water or other fa2l ore, this survey may not accurately depict the elevations and drainage pattern of _ erty after the date of the survey. Professional Engineer P.E. Number Date of Survey The elevations and drainage pattern shown on the attached Plan are the Professional Engineer's findings of the finished ground around your residence on the date shown above. You, the homeowner must maintain these elevations and grades to properly drain the water away from your house. The builder of your home will not cover damage to your home caused as a result of changes made in the finished grades.

First thanks for stopping by to do a site visit. Her is the text of the letter I e-mailed to Joe Sullivan. You can give him that courtesy call now. His number is 970-567-0538. Please let me know that you received this Thanks again. TJ Jacob 2040533 October 22, 2003 Joe Sullivan Archer Homes 2225 Water Blossom Lane Fort collins, CO 80526 Dear Joe I must admit that when I first met you, I had a favorable impression. I enjoyed our first brief conversations and the way you responded to the initial problem created when your subcontractor dug the house foundation at 2719 Featherstar Way. What shocked and disappointed me last week was your response to my letter complaining again of yet another problem created by the same contractor. Yes, you did tell me again that things would be made right. But then you shocked me when you told me I would have to share the cost of some work concerning your lot drainage issue. To expect someone to pay for something that is not my problem is taking a real liberty. Well, I must admit I was aggravated but decided to refrain from saying anything until I had my ducks in order. Since we spoke, I talked to Gary Lopez in the Fort Collins Planning Department and Glen Schunder In the Storm Water Department. They both had the same reaction to your suggestion that I share the cost, and that reaction was "no way." Glen then referred me to Jay Barber, who did a site visit on October 20, 2003, at 11a.m. He told me I did not have a drainage problem. He stated that he often sees issues like this when people build close to the property line. He clearly stated it was the responsibility of the builder to deal with the problem and bear the cost. At this point, I want to make it perfectly clear that nothing is to be done on Jay Barber - Drainage at 2719 Featherstar Way problem Page 2 my property until I have reviewed a hard -copy plan of possible options as to what can be done and have signed off on a mutually agreed -upon option. I know that you are busy but have not gotten back to me yet. I will be on vacation until the second week in November and will deal with this issue at that time. I did inform you at the point of our last conversation of my time constraints. I am enclosing a copy of the letter that I informally sent you as a matter of record. Again I am truly disappointed.
