both cases the ground was spongy and water soaked. The effort to remedy the problem is definitely not working. The city will review again. 2. Standing Water: In several of the areas around the perimeter of the development and between units, there is standing water. It is not only unsightly, but unsanitary. The land must be contoured so the water will flow appropriately. Much of the sod is dead or dying from the standing water. Generally, the townhome association would fill in settling soil in common areas after a one-year cutoff. It needs to be investigated. B. Soil Preparation and Grass Installation I. Seeded areas: Some areas that were not sodded have been seeded with a spray foam substance. The ground was not prepared properly. It was sprayed with foam containing seed over rocks, twigs and the like. This application is not acceptable. The ground must be prepared correctly and sodded. The city believes that this is a dispute between the Association and the builder. However. they will review again. 2. Sodded areas: In several sodded areas, particularly around the units, sod has been laid with little or no ground preparation work. The result is that the sod has not rooted and several areas are dying. Additionally, if you lift the sod, you will see washed out areas underneath. Same response as Bl, except the builder has voluntarily promised to resod where it has died. c. Trees: Many trees that have been planted have died, others have never been planted according to the approved plat as follows: 1. missing sugar maple tree at the southeast comer of the development, east of 187 Burke; 2. missing Austrian pine tree on the northeast side of 2121 Albemarie; 3. two missing Austrian pine trees between 2113 and 2109 Albemarle; 4. missing one tree of unknown size or kind between 2109 and 2105 Albemarle; 5. missing sugar maple, missing two Black Hills spruce trees and one autumn blaze maple trees; 6. missing one ornamental tree between 2097 and 2098 Albemarle; 7. missing tree of unknown size or kind between 2100 and 2110 Albemarle; 8. missing three Black Hills spruce trees between four northern-most buildings; 9. two dead sugar maple trees must be replaced at the northwest comer of2155 Albemarle; 10. missing Austrian pine along north side of 2155 Albemarle, on County Road B; II. missing sugar maple tree at the northwest comer of 178 County Road B;
