LEITER FROM RED DEER COUNTY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REGARDING MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT - FOR INFORMATION. MAY 8, 2006 TO: Town of lnnisfail ATTENTION: Dale RE: Lot 101 Block 11 Plan # 0322755 We recently purchased this property from the Town of lnnisfail and by all indications this property was deemed to be ready to build on . We started construction on May 1st and dug down approximately three (3) feet. We immediately realized that there was a problem with the backfill that had been used to raise this property to its present level. We then dug a test hole in the north west corner of our basement location and found that there was debri and garbage down to approximately the eight (8) foot level. Another test hole was dug on the south edge of the property and the waste material only went down to about six (6) feet. It was determined at that time that we had to build as close to the south edge of the property as possible, to avoid the worst areas. The basement contractor then had to excavate the basement to approximately eight (8) feet to get to suitable soil. The contractor then proceeded to backfill the basement with pit run and compacting the pit run in one (1) foot lifts to get back to the footing level. This took approximately three days and about 400 to 450 cubic yards of pit run. We also had compaction tests done to ensure that we were building on a solid foundation. At this point we are anticipating that the extra work and materials used will cost from $12,000.00 to $15,000.00 extra. We are asking that the Town of lnnisfail will reimburse us for the extra costs involved because the engineering report, when the development was done, should have disclosed the problem with the debri under Lot 101. We do not expect that the Town of lnnisfail pay any more than the actual cost of the extra work involved in getting this site ready to be built on. These costs are estimates at this point in time, but we should be receiving our invoice by the end of the month and would then be submitting it to the Town of lnnisfail. It would then be your decision to reimburse us either by cheque or by reducing the cost of the property equal to the extra costs involved.
