RE: Damage to City Property CERTIFIED MAIL #7005 1160 0002 2013 6550
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Frenier:
It was brought to the Department of Public Works (DPW) attention on January 26, 2010 that activities
performed by you and /or your contractor have occurred on City property adjacent to your property that has
resulted in damage including erosion of soils into the roadway and stormwater system.
It appears that either you and /or your contractors accessed the rear of your property at 61 Chapel Street over
City land with vehicles and /or equipment on a regular basis resulting in this damage. You are liable for all
damages incurred from this activity.
Effective immediately, you are required to cease all activities except repair. You are required to submit a
corrective plan of action within five (5) days of receipt of this letter. The corrective action plan must stop all
erosion immediately, restoration of the City property to its original condition and cleaning of the local catch
basin sump and pipes of eroded materials.
Failure to submit and implement a plan will require the DPW to take the actions necessary to protect the City's
property at your expense. The DPW awaits your response.
Sincerely,
el
Edward S. Huntley
Director of Public Works
