Attention: Mr. Brent Beden, Business Manager
Subject: Restoration of HOA Tract Portion next to Lot 17
Dear Mr. Beden:
Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. (AESI) is currently working with Mr. and Mrs. Hirani to complete an
improvement project on their property located at 2708 Williams Avenue N. (Lot 17) that was
started almost 2 years ago. As you know, the Hirani's initial property improvement plans
unintentionally extended off his property onto a portion of a parcel owned by the Clover Creek
Homeowners Association. This portion of the parcel, which encompasses about 680 square feet,
will be restored to a better condition than existed before it was disturbed by previous construction
activities. Priorto parcel disturbance, the area was primarily bare and covered mostly with weeds.
The current plan for this area, which has been reviewed by the City of Renton (City), will involve the
following:
• Removal of existing block walls and stairs;
• Regrading of existing surface soils to match adjacent grades;
• Compacting loosened surficial native soils with small portable equipment to a firm
condition;
• Covering the affected area with a layer of topsoil and planting Creeping Red Fescue grass
seed which is native to the Pacific Northwest; and
• Covering the area after seeding with an erosion control fabric such as jute netting to
prevent surficial erosion from occurring during heavy rainfall until the grass seed grows.

According to the USDA National Conservation Service, this grass type is excellent at reducing
erosion and is used extensively for stabilizing waterways, slopes, banks, cuts, and fills. The area will
be left to grow naturally with no maintenance required such as mowing or fertilizing.
We trust that this letter sufficiently describes the planned activities. Mr. and Mrs. Hirani look
forward to your review and approval of this restoration plan. Per the City of Renton, your approval
and signature is required to move forward so that the Hirani's can continue with their project and
start restoration. Please indicate your approval with your signature below.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC.
