the policy is respect for the law and equal treatment for all. of course, in a bannana republic, things are different.
the law required the five foot level shoulder along side of the road.
the law required a specific method for the swales.they are not as required and should be corrected. yes, the state water shed authority approved them, but, they approve anything placed before them.they even claim they are not involved in determinning if the sealesw are built correctly.
is milford a bananna republic type government? i have no idea, i can only look at their actions.

I would think it would go by the policies the Milford has set forth. I think it is cut and dry to be honest. If that is the code, then it should be enforced but if it something you personally want and there is no technical information, code, or policy(something in writing) then you probably are wasting your time.
If I was still being inconsiderate I would just tell you to pack your sh*t and move if you don't like the way things are. But it is friday and I realize that now is not the best time for someone to try and sell their home if they were willing to move.
That being said, I think if they go in to do all of that work now it is going be an eye soar for a long time to come, all of the heavy machinery will be a safety hazard for the children.. Gotta wieght the pro's vs. con's I don't see enough pro's to make the change, but then again, I don't live there....

sidewalks?? how many childrens lives are you willing to gamble with to save a builder a few bucks by having them walk and play in the street/
yes, it is in the plans to have sidewalks in certain areas.
as to swales..if it requires for safety five feet from a road to have level land and the builder does not perform that requirement what do you suggest the city do//
should the city give a wink and nod to the builder and say, whats a few lives here and there in the big scheme??
the swales are proven by the city engineer to not being built to specs and are incorrect in his professional opinion.
so is it rule by law and right??or, is it wink and nod as you suggest

| I agree... It seems like a waste of money to me as well.. But I do not live in Hearthstone and I have'nt had a chance to monitor the traffic patterns(need for sidewalks) or measured the swales?lol ...

Now I get it!
The city can't find the approvals and the builder can't find tha approvals. So, we spend $20,000 to hire a third party to find the approvals. Does the third party have the skills of David Copperfield to make things reappear like magic?
Nope! I guess I don't get it!

the issue is the city approved plans submitted by the builder that have to be followed.
they city paid for inspections that were done.
the city cannot find the approvals
the builder cannot find the approvals
the engineering company that did the inspections cannot find the approvals
the finance department of milford paid the bills, but, they have not been asked to show the paperwork that would justify the payments to the engineers.
so, four down the toilet and no where else to go.
a third party will look at what was required, by law, what was done, and what should be done to bring the project into compliance.
as to side walks??easy, the building plans either show them or do not show them, certainly the engineering company can tellus.
the other questions are ?? is there to be a five foot level safety area next to the roads??if so, are they there. then we get to the swales..
are the swales built to specicifation?/ if not, correct them even if the state approved them as built.

As a resident of Hearthstone Manor from practically the beginning, one wonders when "sidewalks" became an issue? See Milford Chronicle dated May 14, 2009. Sidewalks are not mentioned in the covenants or depicted in any of the sales material. Other developments do not have sidewalks. What a waste! Now more land will become impervious and who will benefit? Also, who will pay?
If council wants to look at an issue, perhaps an examination of the adjacent project on Wilkins road would be worthwhile. The bottom of the detention basins is mid-way to the drainage pipes.
