. . . Page 33 doesn't make it right. I don't recall any dirt being removed out of there before July. Gerry - All I'm saying were trying to remove an eyesore from in the project. Steve I think you've created one hell of an eyesore in that project, Gerry. Cliff - You bet!! Gerry - I tell you what, since we've corrected it, the people that bought the lots...we sold them right away. The lots were sold with the idea that they would be corrected. The people are here...they were here. You couldn't sell them before, you couldn't give them away, and now their sold and there is going to be houses going up. Rochelle has one going up. Mr. Fine Line is here...he is trying to get a permit. Mr. RP Homes is here...he is putting a tuck-under. We got three lots that suddenly became salable. So your saying we created a problem. Lisa - You did because you built those up and ruined my yard. Cliff - The nice thing about it... I commend you...you did great...you sold it - but there is still a permit process and there is also erosion control that has to be achieved. Whenever you move this type of soil and open that type of area, common sense is going to show up somewhere to show you that your going to have an erosion control problem coming down that hill... something had of have done. Gerry - You know something, we intended to make it a nicer looking area than it was, and we still will. Just give us a Ii ttle break here and let us fix. We are going to put 3 inches of top soil. We are going to seed it. We are going to put blanket on it. Were going to plant trees on it. If we can and the people who will let us put retaining walls, and want retaining walls, we will do it. The people who do not want a retaining wall, we will have to try and come up with some other way. Were not hard to get along wi th. I f we made a mistake... good God... someone should have picked up a phone and said "Gerry Stop" I would have stopped. Steve - The City's desire is that you correct it too. We went out there and stopped it. Cliff - Earlier in the morning, I put a stop order, a verbal stop order, you said at that point you would stop. Steve - Which I was witness to. Cliff - I went out there at 3: 30 in the afternoon, I had to stop your excavators again. Gerry - They were not hauling dirt? Steve - Yes, they were Gerry. Cliff - Fifteen days later your over on another lot doing the same thing again.
