RE: Salvo House; outdoor seating at restaurant; also Cahill Apartments
n—
a one month followup"walk-by" of the area by the door to the food service area at Salvo, and I do see that the area
tayed largely clean. The bench is pulled away from the edge of the building and has remained clear of the few
pings that have come down. I did not see any sign of the pigeon that previously had always been roosting on the
of the uppermost window over the problem area.
iks for your efforts, and next time I will simply email you about something like this.

!ply:
e is no"outdoor seating area of the restaurant" at Salvo. No tables and no chairs. It's a patio/park. It's not part
'e food service area leased to Highland Valley Elder Services, which is inside the building. Functionally, the patio is
e so a fire truck can get to the back side of the front wing of the building. Occasionally, the tenants association
lave a cook out, and on those occasions (and as needed, such today as a result of your email) we power wash the
). I appreciate your suggestion about Nixalite or bird spikes. Attached is a photo taken of the area this afternoon.
area behind Cahill takes all the run-off from the hill and from Lyman Terrace. There are several springs which run
ugh the area, as well. The area was the location of the old Circle-K skating club, which was naturally flooded. Four
s ago we replaced the drainage —Orangeburg pipe -- along the parking lot. Last year we installed a new drainage
behind E-Building (the building to the right of the little apple tree that came down in the hurricane) and this year
ire adding riprap on top of the drainage and grading that area so water will pitch from the building toward the
gyp. We are also replacing, behind buildings H and G on the other side of the development, a blacktop culvert and
igeburg drainage pipe that directed water to a catch basin, with an ABS drainage system and rip-rap on top. This
NOT keep the area dry, but dryer.
apple tree was chipped yesterday, and is being replaced. The lawn was, as you saw when you visited, mowed.
have residents move in and move out, and they leave things by the dumpsters, as you describe. We remove
ris to the dump about every week or ten days. We did so, on schedule, yesterday. Fortunately, nothing that you
:ribed was a health concern. Photo attached.
re down a laborer/groundskeeper —one of our guys is out long term with cancer-- so we are doing the best we
with the staff we have available.
free to give me a call about these things in the future. That should be sufficient for us to address your concerns.

Jon -
sponse to a complaint, I checked the outdoor seating area of the restaurant of the Salvo House, and there was a
accumulation of bird droppings against the north wall, splattering over some of the outdoor seating and
riling any person and certainly their food if they stepped out of the door and into the line of fire. There are
ng pigeons at the top floor above the window surround, apparently only above this one area (I walked the
Teter of most of the Salvo House). I'll attach some pictures and an Order to Abate a Public Nuisance. I realize it
ake some coordination to get Nixalite or some other product in place, so we will set a date 30 days out for
pection.
ler call, this about Cahill Apartments; the biggest problems are being addressed as I witnessed (Zak's was
ing on drainage); the lawn was just mowed (complaint was it was very tall and that was supported by the
int of grass cuttings now on the ground); there remained 2 concerns: a fallen apple tree and the condition of the
area. I will assume the tree will be taken care of in the next week to 10 days; I will attach an Nuisance Order
ie Trash area - upholstered furniture, mattress, and old carpeting left out in the weather, and cardboard
sting loose near the dumpster (pictures and Order attached).
r copies of the nuisance orders are coming by regular mail; thanks for your attention to this.
