Oear Brlan,
ln response to your letar dated,Juna 6 2005, wa otlerthe following:
ln a repofi by Owen Srover Englneerlng, P,C., deted Novembor 3 2004, Mr. 0mver nrakes an oplnlon that fie

Based on our obseryatlong of the prolect slte,l u/e do not agrae wlth fils aggasement. We dld not obserus

Mr. Grove/s lnspeodon report, dded June 19, 2001, lndlcates that organlc topgoll was romovsd tmm fie

'ren oompaited pmperly, Due to spaco and budget llmltaflone ln our lnltal lnvestigatiott, we did not
o,iarate itrote Oh enouOtr (trls would regulre a backhoe) to astually hst tho denslty ot fiis matorlal.

gwrall, it le our oplnion that Mr. Gmver was essantially praoticing englnqring wltltout a llcensg, He wes n0t

in the enclosed inspection reports from ICA Engineering.
By way of further explanation, enclosed please find copies of the reports from
KA Engineering, as well as the original and follow-up reports from the original
engineer and the City's Residential Permit documents.
