Probably put more on to let it compact over the winter and are now bringing it to the designed elevation.I’m a bit confused.
I know that they raised the level of the lots (and the future CyTown), to put it above the flood plain. I figure the contractor who did it reasonably knew what they were doing, and had the entire area flat and at the same level, as the lots went in.
So…why have they been peeling soil off the (soon to be) MacFarland lot, and trucking it away? This isn’t the first time, either.
Seems counterproductive—and not just having that one lot at a lower level.
They do seem to be preparing it for paving now, as well.
Thanks!Probably put more on to let it compact over the winter and are now bringing it to the designed elevation.
Is it haul away from site excavation for the Clinic?Started hauling away dirt just after 7 am today. Still going.

Just a guess, but the areas not paved were probably not brought to a final grade, that is done right before paving. They probably got it close, and accounted for some settlement etc, now are bringing it to exact grade to pave. That being said I have not looked at the camera to see exactly what is happening just going by your description.The parking lot for the clinic.
Looks like the clinic will be on a pad, no basement. Makes sense in a flood plan.
I can’t tell how much they scraped off, but it was enough that they spent a full twelve hours today (7am-7pm) loading dump trucks, and they’d taken away a decent number of loads before this.Just a guess, but the areas not paved were probably not brought to a final grade, that is done right before paving.

Even with the buildings being on pads, they will still have to have footings and plumbing etc dug in, but that would not have a lot of haul away as most would be used as backfill.
That does seem like more than just getting it to the final grade. Not sure what they are doing then.I can’t tell how much they scraped off, but it was enough that they spent a full twelve hours today (7am-7pm) loading dump trucks, and they’d taken away a decent number of loads before this.
It almost looks like they took it down to the original clay, but that can’t be right, can it?
