Exhibit L - Letter from Hansz re: Planss July 16, 1998 Mr. Thor Jackola Jackola Engineering 317 First Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59903 Reference: Southfield Park subdivision Dear W. Jackola: Plans dated July 7, 1998 for Southfield Park project have been reviewed by this office. Waters em improvements: The improvements shown on the plans are satisfactory and approved by this office subject to the review and approval of the Department of Environmental Quality. They will connect to existing City facilities of adequate capacity. Sewer system improvements: The improvements shown on the plans are satisfactory and approved by this office subject to the review and approval of the Department of Environmental Quality. They will connect to existing City facilities of adequate capacity. Roadway improvements and approaches to existing streets: The improvements and approaches as shown on the plans are satisfactory and are as previously discussed and agreed upon. Storm drainage facilities: Supplemental information you have provided for the storm drainage system has not fully convinced the City staff that this design will reliably function as intended. We believe the high ground water in the project area is a serious impediment to the flow of storm water from this system into the surrounding soil strata. While the submitted calculations suggest that percolation rates at some points may be adequate under certain conditions, and the redesign you have made does increase the apparent margin of safety for the system, we are not, at this point, completely persuaded that the system will function for the owner in a reliable way under adverse conditions. However, this is essentially a private system. Therefore, this office does not object to the installation as designed. We share your desire that these facilities operate as intended and that the owner does not experience any future problems that cause regret at having installed this system. The City, while not specifically endorsing this design, will join you in closely monitoring its performance in Post Office Box 1997 • Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 Telephone (406) 758-7700 • FAX (406) 758-7758 order to establish a sound basis for considering similar proposals in the future. For the interim, we recommend you continue to investigate the marketplace for alternatives to this design that may provide the superior performance needed in difficult design situations such as those encountered in the project area. We look forward to working with you to identify alternatives that may offer superior performance and competitive installation costs. d ncerely,mes C. Hansz, P.E.
