Box 9960 1101 Texas Avenue Tel: 409764 3500 College Station, TX 77842 If you recall, we spoke the week of 3/17 regarding what the City of College Station believes is unfinished grading and drainage improvements related to this project. The grading in question is currently causing a diversion of flows onto private residences within the adjacent Pebble Creek Development. received a message from you this week stating that, to your knowledge, all work required by the City had been performed. Upon researching the files, I found that Ed Motley had been informed of the defective grading in question on 11/12, and was also informed that remediation would be a condition of the Certificate of Occupancy for the building. I have attached a copy of this e-mail for your reference. The Certificate of Occupancy was issued on 12/19 only after receiving a statutory bond in the amount of $10,000 for this drainage work, which at that time was still incomplete due to weather related delays. The bond provides for a term of four months from the issuance of the CO to complete these efforts to release the bond. The due date for these remediation efforts is therefore April 19, 2003. 1 have also included a copy of the bond for your use. Based on my site inspection last week, the work is still incomplete, and is still negatively effecting adjacent homeowners. Therefore we feel it prudent to issue this reminder that grading will need to be completed prior to the April 19th deadline to avoid a claim upon the related bond. Home of Texas A &M University I would be happy to visit the site with you and clarify exactly what will need to be accomplished in order to bring the site into compliance with the City Ordinances. Should you wish to meet, or discuss any questions or comments you may have, please do not hesitate to contact me at 764 -3570. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.

It appears that fill was placed in this area, probably when the wall was constructed. This fill material was not permitted. This fill material has cut -off the drainage path for the homes to the north and east. The City received complaints from citizens after the rainy period we experienced a few weeks ago. You were very cooperative in our conversation. I did want to notify you that this item will be added to the City's punch -list for CO approval. Thank you again for your cooperation. If you have any questions please contact me in Development Services. st Spencer G.
