Let me know if you receive this. Ricardo Marrun Vice President of Operations De Haro Ramirez Group 1250 Missouri Street, Ste. 202 San Francisco, CA 94107 (415) 552-3504 Office (415) 552-3505 Main Fax (415) 520-6543 Accounting Fax (510)414-8310 Cell From: Ricardo Marrun <rickm@dhrgconcrete.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 5, 2018 11:26 PM To: Iturkatte@sicehd.com Subject: 11851 W. Valpico Road Good evening Ms.Turkatte, My name is Ricardo Marrun. I have a home at 11851 W.Valpico Road in Tracy California. I have a detached garage that was being used as a non-permitted cottage. I recently completed all the required permitted work to bring it back into compliance as a shop with a restroom. My ultimate goal has always been to return it to a second dwelling. During the time I was working on the shop, I was also working on drawing up my own plan for the septic system. In four occasions I visited the Environmental Health Department and met with Steven Shih. He was very helpful in reviewing my plan lay- out and informing me on County Guidelines. I wanted to make sure that I met all requirements before I committed to a $2,500.00 Nitrate Load Study. Once I was confident that my plan met all regulations, I then moved forward with my Nitrate Load Study. Today I came in with all of my documents and I began the permit process for a Second Unit Dwelling. I started at the Planning Department Desk,then went to the Public Works,then to the Environmental Health Department where I was informed that the guidelines have changed only 30 days ago. I was told that because of the results of my Nitrate Load Study I would now have to have an Engineered Septic System, when just 30 days ago, the same Nitrate Load Study would have only required an annual test.Today I have paid $4,000.00 in permits plus the$2,500.00 for the nitrate study only to find out that I am chasing a moving target. Michael Kith informed me that he discussed this with you today and that there was nothing he or you could do for me. I have worked hard in the past year+to develop the plan and pay for all permits that the San Joaquin County requires for construction.There must be some sort of grace period for those of us who have been in the process of working with the Environmental Health Department in developing a plan. Please let me know that there is something you can do for me. I have attached the first email that I sent to Steven Shih just to help establish a timeline. Sincerely, 1
