Public Works Committee 6. 1. Meeting Date: 03/19/2013 By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works Title: Update on Turf Restoration at 7046 166th Ave ( Mack and Shayle Dominguez) Background: The residents' property was impacted by the 167th Avenue Reconstruction Project, City Project 08-27, that was constructed in 2009. The resident called City Administrator Ulrich on 7/10/12 and expressed that she was not satisfied with the restoration of her yard. Interim City Engineer Nelson returned the phone call and spoke with Mrs. Dominguez on July 11, 2012 and listened to her concerns, summarized as follows: • Weeds in grass, feels that they are moving into the rest of her yard • Insufficient topsoil quality • Pieces of asphalt in yard • Pieces of glass in yard • Pieces of slate in yard • Pieces of shingles in yard • Sparse grass • Clover instead of bluegrass (wrong mix) • Remnants of erosion control netting It was the consensus of the Public Works Committee at the October 15th meeting to have the PW department work with the Dominguez's' to reach a suitable resolution to the problem, which included re -mulching existing soil, remove debris, top dress with 4" of suitable black dirt and re -seeding. Notification: The attached letter was sent to Mack and Shayle Dominguez outlining the tentative schedule for the turf repairs.
