Re: Broughton Violation
As we have previously discussed, I am aware of two violations related to MEP 2002-
00034. They are as follows:
l. Please find attached a highlighted section from the Geo-Tech report submitted by
Consolidated Engineering. On page two of that document, Mr. Boughan states that
the access road "will be accomplished with switch-backs or hair-pin curves". With
one look at the site it is clear that the access road was built with a massive cut and fill
rather than switchbacks. I consider this to be a violation of the MEP as the work done
was not the work approved. The work occurred on property owned by Stephen Vizina
(who was a party to the permit).
2. The earthen material that was cut from Mr. Vizina's property was used as fill on
adjacent property owned by Richard Knight. This portion of the project was not
covered by the MEP submitted by Mr. Broughton. In my opinion this is an
unauthorized activity that should only have occurred under permit. It should be noted
that Mr. Broughton probably has an easement to cross Mr. Knight's property, but that
the actual location of the access road has been changed by the grading and might now
lie outside of a described easement (research is needed).
When I visited the site in late August with Alan Tahja, the necessary stormwater plan
mitigation measures had yet to be done. I don't know what the status is now, but the
conditions of Alan Tahja's August 20`h IDC need to be met.
Please let me know if you need additional information. Thanks.
