<br />b. Our homeowners are generally proud of our individual units and with the ultimate <br />vision of our completed development. However, our issues and concerns with the developer <br />(Gor-em, LLC) and contractor (Swift Construction) relative to on-going site construction in the <br />development have existed since the frrst unit was occupied in 1997. Most of our issues and <br />concerns are covered by existing city ordinance and agreement with the developer (references <br />Ia and Ib above) and can be resolved by the city simply enforcing the same. These issues and <br />concerns, most of which are addressed by references Ic and Id above, include the following: <br /> <br />(1) Regular Sweeping of Streets and Sidewalks throughout the development. <br />This is required periodically by agreement between the city and the developer, and until very <br />recently, has not been done. This should be enforced by routine inspections of the development <br />by the city. <br /> <br />(2) Ongoing Pick-up of Construction Debris. Construction sites and open lots <br />in the development are often littered with construction debris and material. If not already <br />provided for, the city should require daily cleanup of construction sites by the contractor, and <br />removal of such material as pallets, concrete blocks, bricks, etc., when they are no longer <br />needed. Other cities require such daily site maintenance. Centerville should do the same. <br /> <br />(3) Regular Maintenance and Control of Weeds in undeveloped lots and along <br />sidewalks. This is required by agreement between the city and the developer, and until very <br />recently, has not been done. This should be enforced by routine inspections of the development <br />by the city. <br /> <br />(4) Silt Fencing at Construction Sites. If not already provided for, the city <br />should require silt fencing at all unit construction sites and undeveloped lots to inhibit the <br />erosion of soil onto the streets. Other cities require such fencing, and Centerville should do the <br />same. <br /> <br />(5) Inspection of Site Grading and Sodding Practices. The agreement at <br />reference I h provides for four inches of comparable soil being emplaced prior to sodding. This <br />has never been done in our development. Sod is routinely placed over weeds, rocks, utility flags, <br />etc. Our grounds maintenance crew has never seen the likes of the inadequate grading and <br />sodding that exist in our development. The city should enforce this requirement as part of its' <br />routine building inspection procedures during unit construction, to insure both the required <br />proper grading and sodding topsoil. <br /> <br />(6) Cleaning of Storm Sewer Grills. Construction debris and weeds often block <br />these grills. They should be monitored by routine inspections of the development by the city and <br />remedied by the contractor when required. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
