It took Express to end this 7-year nightmare

A series of special reports in the Daily Express on the matter the last several weeks were all that was needed to push officialdom, after seven years of complaints failed.

But the problem may not be over yet because the concrete deflector does look rather too small in case of an overwhelming torrent from a real deluge.

What is a bit more reassuring though is JKR has also finally sealed the large hole ripped apart from the top of the 50-ft concrete retaining wall during a flood several months ago.

The big hole exposed the soil behind the towering retaining wall to open percolation of rainfall this predisposing earth movement which could destabilise the wall itself .

According to the Chan family of Lot 11, 9 Lorong Palas, a rupture at the base of the wall did occur a couple of years back, oozing an alarming amount of mud out into the garden, igniting a worry that the wall could face collapse.

The rupture was disturbing enough to draw a visit from the Director General of City Hall, Datuk Yeo Boon Hai.

Although the two remedial responses from JKR were a bit satisfying for both the Chans and the Daily Express, it still didn't solve the big ponding problem on the Shantung Road above the wall.

Ponding at this critical spot may indeed cause a lot of storm water to percolate into the subgrade of the road and get transported through underground pores and saturate the soil behind the wall with excessive moisture.

The JKR must now work to eliminate the regular ponding at this high risk section of the forest road elevated high above KK city.

Questions about whether it should approve the unauthorized addition of fill to the waterside property of a house at 188 Redwood Road occupied the Sag Harbor Harbor Committees attention on Monday.

Joshua Schwartz, through the application for 188 Redwood LLC, has been before the board in recent months, seeking permission to have a 2-foot-tall, 76-foot-long retaining wall in a buffer zone that was planted with native plants. The committee previously approved a new bulkhead along the waterfront, but members balked at the need for a second retaining wall, arguing that Mr. Schwartz had added fill without a permit.

Thats important, the boards environmental consultant, Richard Warren, said, because what you are doing here is changing the flood plain.

On Tuesday, Mr. Schwartzs attorney, Dennis Downes, told the board that when earlier work was done at the property, about 50 yards of sandy fill was excavated and spread over the existing lawn. Another 10 yards of topsoil were added.

The committees chairman, Steven Clarke, had scolded Mr. Schwartz at an earlier meeting for putting in the fill and said on Tuesday he was not inclined to sign off on letting it stand.

We had lots of discussions with him about the project, Mr. Clarke said. I personally dont cut him any slack on that aspect at all.

Mr. Clarke proposed a compromise that would allow Mr. Schwartz to keep some of the fill and simply regrade it down to the buffer zone, eliminating the need for any retaining wall at all. When Mr. Downes protested that would punish his client, Mr. Clarke replied, The punishment in this situation would be to make him start over again without any additional fill.

The irony is he is asking for a retaining wall to protect stuff he put in without asking us, added member Tom Halten.

The committee tabled the matter and will revisit it at its next meeting.
