<br />August 3, 2006 <br /> <br />Subject: Objection to height variance of project to be built at 2888 Darius Way <br /> <br />Of primary concern is the stability of the northern slope which adjoins properties on <br />Vistagrand Drive. The project Architect claims that soil tests were made and the ground <br />was considered safe for sustaining the homes to be built. Where were the soil tests made? <br />At the building sites? What about the stability of the northern slope? Nowhere in the <br />plans are there any assurances that erosion/vibrations would not subject the slope to give <br />way. And the slope here is extremely steep. This could prove to be devastating to the six <br />or seven properties on Vistagrand Drive overlooking the project. Is the city Engineering <br />staff satisfied with the appropriate testing of the slope? The most recent construction <br />project in Pittsburg, California is sufficient cause to question developments and <br />construction where nearby hills and slopes are involved. <br /> <br />Bulldozers will have to be used to level the ground for foundations and tenacing work. <br />Will the northern slope be seCW'e? Our home on Vistagrand Drive is adjacent to the <br />neighbor with a 15)000 gallon swimming pool located only six feet from the project's <br />pe:rty line. This is why we are deeply concerned. <br /> <br />,~~ <br />Walter and Dorothy Bielaski <br />1785 Vistagrand Drive <br />San Leandro, CA 94577 <br />
