RE: DECK COLUMN FOOTINGS
DEAR MR.DOUGAN,
IN RESPONSE TO YOUR LATER DATED AUGUST 26,20029 MANNARNO BUILDERS,
INC.IS QUITE EMBARRASSED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAVE LED TO OUR OWN
PROCEDURES.IT IS NOT OUR POLICY TO EXCAVATE THE PIERS AT A SHORTER DEPTH
THAN'IS`REQUIRED BY CODE. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WE HAVE
IMPLEMENTED A PLAN TO REQUIRE THAT ONE OF OUR SUPERVISORS,ALONG WITH THE
TOWN Of SOUW WINDSOR INSPECT ANY AND ALL PIERS BEFORE CONCRETE IS PLACED
INTO TSE SODOM. TUBE.
ALTBQ OUR ACTIONS HAVE NO EXCUSE,WE STRONGLY FEEL THAT THE
BREAK DEI' 0Wfl QUALITY DECK PIERS STARTED AT LOT#15 CORNERSTONE DRIVE AND
PROCDE T "T#16 CORNERSTONE DRIVE.THESE PIERS WERE THE ONLY ONES DUG
IN THE WI1tTER/SPRING/SUMMER OF 2002 AND AT THIS TIME OUR BACKHOE WAS NOT IN
WORKING ORDER.WHILE THIS IS NOT AND EXCUSE I FEEL THAT THESE TWO HOUSES
NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. IN REGARADS TO THE BALANCE OF THE HOMES ON
CORNERSTONE DRIVE,IT WAS OUR POLICY TO DIG THE PIERS WITH THE BACKHOE
AND 94 MANY CIRCUMSTANCES ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE STREET THE PIERS ARE 6'TO
8'DEEP DUE TO FILL PLACEMENT.
WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE PIERS AT LOT#15 CORNERSTONE DRIVE.
ONCE WE HAVE EXCAVATED THEM WE WILL CALL FOR AN OFFICIAL INSPECTION.IT IS
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT LOT#161S PIERS OR PIER WAS INSUFFICIENT AND THAT THE
HOME OWNER IS ADDRESSING THE SITUATION THROUGH LANDSCAPING MEASURES.
IN CLOSING,IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MANNARINO BUILDERS,INC.TO HAVE A
POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TOSW BUILDING DEPARTMENT. WE HOPE MOVING
FORWARD IN THE PROPER MANNER THAT WE CAN EVENTUALLY GAIN YOUR
DEPARTMENTS CONFIDENECE IN US.
SINCERELY,
41--002
