Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reported that there were no written protests received from property owners in LID No. 54-4. As there were no persons present in the audience on LID 54-4, President Mitchell closed the informal Hearing on LID 54-4. 2. LID NO. 54-1 (GOLF CLUB ROAD, PACHECO) . Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reported that eight protests had been received regarding completion of work for LID 54-1 (Golf Club Road, Pacheco). Mr. Horstkotte then requested Mr. Best to report on the individual complaints and protests received by the District conerning LID 54-1. 08 29 74 414 Mr. Best reported that correspondence had been received from Mr. E. Wallace Anderson, 19 Richelle Court, Lafayette, Parcel 5, wherein Mr. Anderson made complaint concerning damage to trees and loss of top soil to his property. Mr. Anderson addressed the Board and in summary stated that because of the construction performed by the District's contractor, trees located on his property were damaged, including the loss of one 12 foot juniper tree, and that as a result of grading operations there had been a loss of top soil to his property. He indicated that operations of the District's contractor extended to a distance of 30 feet on each side of the 10 foot easement that had been granted to the District. At this time, 8:08 o'clock P.M., Member Rustigian arrived at the meeting. At the recommendation of Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, it was the consensus of the Board to continue the matter of the complaint registered by Mr. Anderson in order to permit District staff to have the opportunity to further investigate and report on the matter. Mr. Best reported receipt of correspondence from Mr. Vernon C: Ament, 700 Golf Club Road, Pleasant Hill, Parcel 6, wherein Mr. Ament made a complaint that construction by the District's contractor had not been fully completed. He indicated that the trench for the sewer line had not been completely backfilled; that a manhole presently extends 3 feet above the ground; that debris remains in the area; a pine tree was destroyed; and that further cleanup was necessary. After displaying photographs of Mr. Ament's property related to the sewer construction, Mr. Best indicated that because of the steep slope of the property, it was difficult for the contractor to completely backfill the trench. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that action by the District's contractor to provide top soil and ground cover to Mr. Ament's property was desirable and that a settlement on provision of ground cover for Mr. Ament's property be accomplished. Mr. Best reported receipt of correspondence from Mr. Melville G. Harvey, 2923 Marina Drive, Alameda, Parcel 8, who complained that there was evidence that his house was slipping from its foundation and that several large trees had been removed or damaged. Mr. Best stated staff inspecd,on indicated no. evidence that sewer construction had caused.. ~l~ppage_.~of Mr..Harvey' s house from its foundation. However, there was damage to a large oak tree and selected trees had to be removed to permit installation of the sewer line. Mr. Harvey addressed the Board and explained that a creek flowed below his house and that the excavation for the sewer line was only 2 feet from his house. In his opinion, a retaining wall ~hould be installed ~o prevent further slippage of his house. He stated that conversation with the District engineer, which he had accepted in good faith, had indicated that there would be no potential threat to his house or property. Mr. Harvey stated he was not concerned about the loss of the oak tree but that his main concern was the danger ... to his house. After discussion and upon the recommendation of Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, it was the consensus of the Board to make a personal inspection of Mr. Harvey's property concerning the matter of:house slippage, ground cover, and backfill trench. Mr. Best reported correspondence received from Ward and Frances Trask, 726 Golf Club Way, Pleasant Hill, Parcel 7, wherein they complained that because of construction work by the District's contractor, loss of vegetation and.ground cover had resulted to their property. Mr. Best. displayed two photographs of the property, one prior to construction and one subsequent thereto. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that an effort to provide additional ground cover.was necessary. Mr. Best reported receipt of correspondence from Mrs. Hazel C. Harrison, . 760 Golf Club Way, Pleasant Hill, Parcel 9, who was not present in the audience. /;! \1 ¡.". ro! \. ~>1~ ':;¡.¡t \..",1 .<-;! ~:..J' ;../. 4; . 415 Mr. Horstkotte explained that Mrs. Harrison's complaint related to damage to a pressure system for which Mrs. Harrison had submitted a claim for $600.00. Discussion followed with Member Gibbs stating that he had received information that the District's contractor had disrupted Mrs. Harrison's water system. Mr. Best stated that the contractor was willing to restore the pump to operation, which is an integral part of Mrs. Harrison's water system, however, she still desires $600.00 for damages. Mr. L. H. Golightly, 840 Golf Club Circle, Pleasant Hill, Parcel 18, addressed the Board. Mr. Golightly stated that he had not been notified by District representatives that construction of a sewer line was to cross his property. Mr. Best reported receipt of a complaint received from Patrick C. Furlong, 782 Golf Club Way, Pleasant Hill, Parcel 12. Mr. Best ,indicated that Mr. Furlong's complaint had been resolved by the District's contractor. Mrs. Elizabeth B. Hulbert, 800 Golf Club Circle, Pleasant Hill, Parcel 15, addressed the Board and stated that in her opinion, the construction of the sewer line across her property was a "mess." She indicated, however, that her complaint could possibly be resolved after further consultations with the District staff. Mr. Golightly again addressed the Board and commented that the construction activity of the District's contractor had resulted in destruction to a retaining wall on his property. A general discussion followed with participation by Board Members, staff, and persons in the audience. As a result of the discussion, wherein comments were expressed on the individual complaints by persons in the audience, Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that he would make a personal inspection of the LID 54-1 area and report to the Board at its meeting of September 5, 1974.

After the discussion wherein Board Members exchanged comments regarding including, as a condition to the District's original proposal, the acceptance of deed to a segment of District Property, Lot 506, it was the consensus of the Board that the previous Board proposal to Mr. Buffington and Mr. Jeffcott of $10,500 and contribution of available pipe should stand and that acceptance of deed to a portion of District Property, Lot 506, by Mr. Buffington and Mr. Jeffcott was not a requirement to that proposal.'
