If he does this it will stop earth from flowing on to our property. However the rock <br /> retaining wall will not stop water drainage on to our property. <br /> We request that tlie city take steps to ensure that the lot development does not cause increased <br /> drainage in to our back and side yards. <br /> We would suggest a solid concrete retaining wall be built between our t�vo properties that would stop <br /> ' water from ilowing onto our property. This retaining wall would have a drainage system that would <br /> catch the water flowing toward our property and then take it to the existing storm drain system that <br /> has been installed in this development. <br /> Please advise of your intended action by Monday January 1 G. <br /> Enclosed are pictures of the four loi development on the West of our propeily (12 East Intercity <br /> Avenue, Everett) that show the raised grade. <br /> l,'1 li?Oli6 <br />
