HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE_ Fwd_ 22819 Canyon View (PR 14-5095) (79).msgFYI-I just got off the phone with Ken and asked why the grading calculations weren’t included in the submittal as we agreed on at our meeting and he said it’s because Russell didn’t
ask for them. I tried explaining that Russell was a building plan checker and only requests info for B&S and he said it was their understanding that the appointment was made to submit
everything to Russell and as a representative of the City he should know what a complete package is. I tried explaining that if Mike was concerned about Russell not asking for the
grading calculations as I had requested then he should have made a request to meet with me but again his comeback was that they were of the understanding that Russell was the point
man that should have known what was required and if he didn’t ask for grading calculations then they were not going to submit them.
Basically, this team is only going to do enough to say they submitted what the City asked for of them and they won’t go the extra mile to ensure that all bases are covered.
I don’t know how we make this work but it will continue to be painful…

Michael,
Russell forwarded me the plans that you resubmitted yesterday. You resubmitted (2) sets of plans and three (3) calculations. We actually need three (3) sets of plans and two (2) calculations.
When can you resubmit the third set so I can forward them to all the appropriate departments?

Ken,
The conversion of the Basement into a Garage is also missing from the plans. It was agreed when I last spoke with Michael on 1/7/16 that this would also be part of the resubmittal since
it was included in the scope of work when plans were first submitted on 11/18/14 (see attached application). Please let us know if you intend to do something other than what the application
indicates to avoid confusion.
Thank you,

Hi Ken,
I am done with the plan check for the retaining wall plans you dropped off last Friday. Please pick the plans up with my comments at the City of Diamond Bar. Please call me for any
questions and before you resubmit because your Friday submittal was somehow incomplete.
Thanks,
Elie Nasr

On Friday Jan 22 I dropped off plans and calcs for a 3 ft high retaining wall on one side of the new driveway as required by the City (Mr. Gubman). Although your office was closed,
someone came to the door and I asked him to place the plans on your desk.
Your review and approval is required as the last step in completing the plan check process and only involves the engineering for the retaining wall as you have already approved the design
for the new garage opening. Please let me know you received the plans.
On the note I left with the drawings we requested an expedited review. Please call the contractor Mike Verdugo at 626 808-6068<tel:626%20808-6068> or me at 626 824-6796<tel:626%20824-6796>
if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Michael,
Per our conversation earlier today, please contact Elie Nasr of RKA Consulting Group at (909) 594-9702<tel:%28909%29%20594-9702> to schedule a Building & Safety review directly with
him for the proposed retaining walls at driveway, the conversion of the basement into a garage and the relocation of the garage door opening. Please submit three (3) sets of complete
plans and two (2) sets of calculations when you meet with Elie. Once Elie approves those plans, please submit them to me to also capture Greg Gubman’s signature. I will be following
up with Kimberly Young in the Engineering Department next week regarding compliance with their correction(s). If approved by Engineering, I will also need to capture Kimberly’s signature
on the plans. Please keep in mind that we may not be able to issue the permit right away since not all reviewing staff may be available at the same time to stamp and sign the plans
for permit issuance. This may take a few working days. Once ready for permit issuance, the contractor will be required to furnish a contractor’s pocket license, worker’s compensation
insurance certificate and cash or check only for payment. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
