80 Broadman Pkwy, Jersey City, NJ 07305 | Tal: (201) 736-7546 | Email: ksiengineering(@gmail.com Date: June 7 2024 Mr. Jose M DeOliveira, Owner: 31 Bradford Avenue, West Orange, NJ 07052 Dear Sir, As your retained engineering consultant, | have visited the property located at 31 Bradford Ave. in West Orange and have carried out the analysis of the geo-grid retaining walls located on the northeast and southeast sides of the property. On visual inspection, the site drainage is proper, and the runoff flows away from the building, towards the boundary walls on the northeast and southeast sides. There is carpet grass adjacent to the boundary on both sides, and stone pavers which cover the backyard, which in turn aid in the site drainage. Also, there is no change in the grading of the site, the new boundary wails were installed in place of the existing wooden ones. The new walls are much more stable and architecturally pleasing. In view of the above, and the fact that there has not been any incidence of flooding within the building premises, a grading plan is not needed. Please note that a grading Plan requires a detailed Topographic Survey of the property, which may cost up to $5000. A waiver for the grading plan may be requested from the Township, in view of the above explanation. Thank you, MIRZA K, BAIG, PE NJPE #24GE04726600)
