Sun 9 Jan 2022 11 50 07 0500 Re Question 17E3Fbf4 2¶

Please keep the knowledge of a recording completely confidential at this
time.

I do not feel Sally Monico and the Title insurance is acting in my best
interest,  *please do not share this information *with them at this time.
I'll transcribe it using word dictation when I have an hr+ to set that up
and specify the voices in the recording. Unless you have the time available
to listen to it.

The COB came to my property per my request to view the damage on Friday.
Key items include COB stating:

  “They didn’t build that extensions per the original plans” -he then said
“let's state it in common terms - he got approved to build a deck and he
got busted doing something beyond what he was allowed to do. That's all
there is to it. He went beyond the scope of his permit...

 “Nothing wrong with a French drain, he did not submit calculations of the
volume on how it would be processed. I suggested for him to move it further
from the property line, with notes you can not put a drain system on a
sanitary sewer pipe. Originally when they went through the approved plans
through Dekalb it went beyond the plan when Dekalb approved it. He
resubmitted this change and Dekalb was unaware of that. I reached out to
Dekalb, here are the changes, and it's currently under review ....the
question is with the actual sewer pipe itself is 18 inches vertical 8 feet
horizontal - it's up to DeKalb's desecration if they will allow that
encroachment of the easement.
