Text massege received from N. Lesourd on 28 Aug 2024 <br /> Peter <br /> I wanted to alert you to watershed issues from your lot that flooded/damaged my <br /> driveway during the recent storm. Since we last spoke I placed a sandbag wall with a <br /> french drain relief point near the driveway to prevent runoff from your lot potentially <br /> damaging my house foundation. This drainage appeared to be functioning after <br /> periods of rain that were around 2-8 inches. However during this recent event my <br /> drainage was overwhelmed by your surface water. Fortunately the wall worked but I <br /> had to keep a watch on the wall throughout the storm and add a few bags to prevent <br /> failure after the wall was loaded. <br /> There was a large river running down my driveway as the water was coming from the <br /> entire front portion of your lot and because of the volume of water it eroded my <br /> driveway down to the lava cap about 50 feet long and 6-8 inches deep pushing all <br /> aggregate down in low area of my driveway. I spent all day yesterday fixing and <br /> pulling 2 inch drain rock from other areas to fill in the cut out area. During the storm I <br /> noticed 2 other spots (front and back) that also had drainage from your lot. <br /> My concern is we have never had flooding issues from that lot before (i.e. Feb 2023; <br /> 80 inches of rain in one month with no impacts) but after your clearing work <br /> watershed issues started occurring. You indicated before your clearing work to let <br /> you know if there were issues with water because changes would happen. I let you <br /> know during our last in person conversation about watershed issues from your lot <br /> and nothing has been done to mitigate. <br /> Had I not invested time and resources into erecting my sandbag wall, my foundation <br /> would have been damaged from this event and a much different conversation would <br /> be had. <br /> You also indicated during our last in person conversation that you would be out <br /> sometime this summer and we could revisit this situation to determine some courses <br /> of action. I ask that you berm along the entire property line to mitigate flooding on my <br /> lot from your lot, and place drainage out front of your ginger barrier to properly drain <br /> your surface water to the street front. <br /> In addition, I wanted to alert you to several Ohia that are dying/dead after your <br /> clearing work that are near my house, fence, and front gate. These trees pose a <br /> hazardous situation especially the one over my bedroom area. <br /> I understand you're busy with work/life but I would greatly appreciate some attention <br /> on these hazards to mitigate any further damages to my property. <br /> Pictures follow; <br /> Water on your lot building against my sandbag wall <br />
