Leslie,
It has come to my attention that there is significant backfill settling beneath the driveway
at the house foundation to the above referenced address. The City's records indicate that
you were the original contractor for this building and as such you were required to
comply with all City codes and ordinances in effect at the time of construction,
specifically local amendment #59 to the 1997 Uniform Building Code Section 1838.2 of
the appendix chapter 18 as adopted.
Local amendment #59 reads: "Final grading adjacent to the foundation shall be
compacted sufficiently and in such a manner that is not undermined or subject to
significant settlement or displacement due to improper placement of backfill." Based on
the pictures presented it appears that the backfill has settled in violation of the
amendment stated.
As the contractor of record I hereby require that Rutt Construction make all appropriate
corrections within 30 days of the date of the notice. Please contact me when corrections
made so that a re -inspection can be scheduled.
With regards,
Acel'W�Gebo
Codes & Inspections Administrator
