There are two temporary drives that have been created to exit large equipment from stump removal and chipping work. These cut ins to the property have blocked the north side of the road drainage ditch and caused road damage.

I'm concerned that my neighbor immediately to the north (5151 Crystal Springs Dr. may be the address, I'm not certain) may be expanding a deck and performing other work without appropriate authority. The prior owner did that and had to reduce the deck. The site can be seen from my property. Also, I have some other info. My cell is 206-399-2659. Jim Frush

I live at 8460 sands Ave, across the street from the city water facility. At approximately 7:20 am, my peaceful morning was interrupted by a long sequence of vehicle backup noises. About 10 minutes later, a noisy weedwacker began operating. Still in my pajamas, I walked over there and pointed out to two gentlemen who seemed to be in charge, that those noisy operations so early in the morning were very disturbing. Why can’t they wait until at least 9:00?
The weedwacker briefly stopped but began again at. 7:55 and continued until at least 8:30, possibly longer but was then farther away.
This is the third time I have spoken to city workers about the noise at this city facility. It is really an issue caused by the city’s failure to enforce permit and code requirements at the “farm” of Crystal Rich, my neighbor to the south who has illegally removed the trees that formerly made a sound barrier that partially protected me from the noise of the city water facility.
My specific request is to make Crystal Rich replant the trees and shrubs she removed. In the meantime, have city workers wait till 9:00 to begin noisy activities. Thank you

No bathroom for workers on construction site so workers going to bathroom on neighboring properties. Seems the owners might need to provide a bathroom for these workers?

Caller states that there is a homeless encampment that has established itself by the bus stop. They have an RV and now 2 cars parked there. Human activity is present as they are dumping trash and working on these 2 vehicles. They have been there for 4 weeks. He has been in contact KCSO and it appears nothing has been done with this. Caller is wanting someone to go and investigate further. Caller is requesting a "No Parking - Tow Away Zone" sign installed.

The street light on the East side of 305 does not work. The one on the opposite side appears to be working normally.

2017 the city contracted a major storm drain/salmon stream project on NE Wardwell Rd. A good portion of the road tear up, regrading, storm water run off happened on and in front of my property. (400 lineal ft). Unfortunately, it was a disaster. I tried to tell them at the time that their solution wouldn't work. (No water ever reaches the huge drybed lake area they carved out of my property). I have numerous other pics describing the H2O cascading down the asphalt and eroding of my driveway. The dog says it best! You need to send a real engineer out here, ASAP!

The surface and subsurface hydrologic systems on the Boyle/Frank property are being changed as a result of this site development project, with the potential to adversely impact offsite conditions. A seasonal drainage channel has been relocated, and impervious surface area from the new building, deck and patio areas has increased. Furthermore, the extensive changes to site grading (>50 CY) include large areas of cut and disruption below the shallow groundwater table that could also potentially change downgradient conditions offsite.
What is the drainage plan for this site? Have designs been submitted to ensure that there will be no adverse offsite impacts? Are surface and subsurface drainage facilities being properly designed and constructed?
A new rain garden is being designed and constructed onsite. How it will capture all of the increased runoff from the increased impervious area, particularly the patio area in the southeast corner of the property? How well is the new rain garden expected function given the extremely shallow groundwater table?
To date, it is clear that temporary erosion and sedimentation control TESC measures have not been improperly installed and maintained. Why were silt fence BMPs allowed to be removed in May when construction activities were not yet complete? Why have unworked soils been allowed to remain uncovered on the site for more than 7 days?
The seasonal conveyance channel on the south end of the property is a distinct hydrologic feature that ties in to adjacent properties both upstream and downstream. This channel outfalls to the roadside ditch along the west side of Sunrise Drive NE and has a contributing drainage area is approximately 4.5 acres, per previous engineering analysis. This hydrologic feature should have been noted as part of the site assessment. As part of the construction of the accessory dwelling unit at the Boyle/Frank property, the seasonal drainage channel has been relocated farther south, the channel grade has been raised, and the slope potentially altered. The relocated channel no longer properly ties in to the downstream conveyance channel on the adjacent property. This channel relocation and failure to control sediment discharge has and will continue to adversely impact offsite site conditions downstream.
A large patio area is being constructed on the southeast corner of the lot. Is this shown on the site plans and was the increase in impervious area from the patio accounted for in the permit process? A sump pump and/or some sort of infiltration system was originally installed within the new patio area footprint. Was this shown on site drainage plans, and properly permitted and installed? Why was it dug up several weeks later, with piping altered and removed? This system was replaced by a large underground tank/cistern – was this change reported to the City? Will this change how water being handled and conveyed offsite?
Several adverse and sustained site impacts to the adjacent downslope property that have been experienced to date as a result of site construction. These offsite impacts have included unwanted accumulation of sediment and standing water, digging of a large hole with a backhoe, and deposition of hay bales and other TESC measures - all which should be contained within the Boyle/Frank property. Additionally, the adjacent downslope property has been subjected to both tree and lawn damage. These deficiencies have not been corrected in a responsive manner. Moving forward, what measures will be taken by Boyle/Frank to ensure that ongoing adverse impacts will not be experienced offsite both during the remainder of the construction process and in the long-term, after construction is complete? If the City could clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated.

The bike lane on both North Madison and South Madison (as well as other places on Bainbridge) are covered with sand that Public Works spread after the recent snow storm. Although the sand is off the road, it has accumulated in the bike lane creating both safety issues and maintenance issues as that sand gets into bike gears.Please sweep the bike lane as soon as possible.

Have time stamped photos of tractor work at 8pm on weekedays and no dust control measures taken for neighborhood even though workers on development having to wear dust masks
