Ernie,
In response to your voicemail, the survey was attached correctly and I was able to review it, as long as
the markers as indicated in the survey line up with the footing location and the reinforcement is per the
detailing, we will be set to approve you to move forward — I confirmed you inspection is scheduled for
tomorrow 8/26/2022, the inspection will be available on the website by 8A:

Adriana,
A concern has been made that the construction of the wall is off the subject property and based on the
inspection performed by Mark Hunt on 8/10/2022 it was determined that is true — I have provided the
inspection comments below and also attached is the exhibit we used to establish the location of the rear
property line. If you feel this is not an accurate interpretation it would be the responsibility of the permit
holder to provide a site survey with the placement of the property corners by a licensed surveyor to prove
otherwise.

To resolve this concern the footing will need to be moved to be entirely within a distance of 92'-2" on the
North Side and 105'-7" on the South Side from the Face of Curb, please see the attached rough grading
plan exhibit.

Hi Mark
According to the measurements you made yesterday based on a grading plan how many inches on the
North side are we encroaching on to the neighbor (44090 Mariposa Ct)?
What part of the house did you get the measurements?
Did you also do the same just to make sure with 44090 Mariposa Ct or did you only do it with property
44090 Calico Cir?
The reason why I am asking this is because maybe the measurements you took without verifying both
properties is not right and this is causing a problem for my client and the project. I have been trying to
cooperate with you to do this job correctly.
1) you asked me to clean the footings
2) you asked for a worker to wait for you for 2 hrs with a 100 ft tape
3) 1 left a worker for you for more than 2 hrs
4)1 had to pay the inspection footings again
5) you did not answer my email with questions yesterday
"Is there a problem with the installation of the rebars Or is there a problem with the trench I made?"
I did the North, East, West and South walls for the property 44125 Calico Cir 2 years ago and I never had
a problem with these things.
All the existing walls behind the properties dividing 44215, 44185, 44155, 44125, are all aligned. Now we
are working on property 44095 Calico and were getting in our property for at least 4 inches, how is it
possible that you are telling us we are encroaching on to the neighbors?? So Are all the other existing
walls done wrong then?
Thank you Mark and I hope you understand our concern and hope you help in answering my questions
because I would like to inform the homeowner.
Or can you please let us know what we can do for proceed

Good afternoon Inspector. Can you please explain what part of the rebar installation
and footing trench is not right according to the details you guys already approved.
My worker told me that you didn't pass the inspection in my project. I really want to
know why this inspection doesn't pass.
Can You please provide why? I want to have record of this to provide it to the home
owner.
Thank you

Good morning Inspector. Thank you for the notification. One of my
workers will be there at the job site waiting from 9:30-11:30. Hopefully
everything goes well with the footing inspections. My guy will be ready
with the 100' tape you are requiring for the inspection so you can
proceed.
Thank you

To Whom It May Concern
Due to the neighbor complaining that the block wall for
permit BWFE2022-0305 is encroaching on her property,
the City of La Quinta is requiring a 100' tape to be on
site for the footing inspection to proceed.
Measurements will be taken from the curb according to
the grading plans on file with the City to see where the
property line falls.
