RE: MountainGate Discretionary Use lpPlication ZON 2004-0006
Dear Mr. Damielle:
Thank you for keeping the record open for written comments regarding his
application's hearing. I would like to add this written statement to my vertbal
testimony of April 28. 2004.
J was reminded after the hearing that a great many of the homes in the "licinity of
the quarry do not have the traditional solid concrete foundations. Of the t243
existing dwellings, 140 of them are ma~ufactured homes. Of these, I .
approximately 28 are set upon adjustable jack stands while the majority ~re
resting on stacked concrete blocks shirhmed with wooden wedges for stability.
To the best of my knowledge, only one 'of these homes has any sort of s~ismic
bracing. . . I
Accordingly, it is my feeling that the majority of the homes here are morel
susceptible to seismic shock than traditional site-built dwellings with their. solid
founrlRtinn.. I '
