Hi Helen,
 
I have attached what we looked at yesterday.
 
1.)  To Summarize the Concrete Retaining Wall.
 
The existing concrete retaining wall is the foundation of the former Jason Company Building.  
 
It is shown on the following plans on record at the DPS Engineering Archives.
 
"Title Survey  Warwick Corporation Property - 73 India St.  Portland, Maine for Allied Properties, Inc." by Sebago Technics, Inc. dated 6/27/1986.
 
"Minor Site Plan:  Proposed Parking Lot - 73 India St.  Portland, Maine developed by Allied Construction" by Sebago Technics, Inc. dated 10/31/1986 Revised 12/11/1986.
 
"Amended Minor Site Plan:  Proposed Parking Lot - 73 India St.  Portland, Maine developed by Allied Construction" by Sebago Technics, Inc. dated 10/31/1986 Revised 7/15/1987.
 
On the Amended Minor Site Plan it is noted that "Existing Foundation To Remain".  Therefore Note 26 on the Subdivision Plat for Seaport Lofts should be changed to indicated that the retaining wall is the responsibility of the Seaport Lofts Condominium Association.  
 
This may also need to be included in the Common Elements/Areas in the Declaration of Condominium, but that is not my realm of expertise.
 
There is a small retaining wall crossing the boundary with abutter Lot C.  It may be good for them to show "ownership/responsibility unknown" for that particular wall.
 
2.)  I do not see a Surveyor's Statement.  That would be for the Project Surveyor to determine if appropriate or not to include.
 
3.)  Need to include sheet 2 of 2.  This is the survey plan referred to in General Note 3.
 
I have attached the plan as reviewed, as well as the three plans by Sebago Technics.
 
Please call if you need anything else.
