Mast added of the documents, "I have not seen this in my office," though testimony indi- cated the drawings were dated May 18. Then Aker asked whether it was possible that the engineer of record for the work at Bob's Boathouse "may be holding [the documents] either for payment or [completion of other punch list items] to submit this to the county?" "Anything is possible," Mast said. When Pearce asked whether it was the obliga- tion of the respondent in the case — Skipper Bob's LLC — or the engineer of record to cer- tify the landscaping, Mast replied, "Ultimately, it's the respondent's and not the engineer's." Aker explained that the landscape architect provided copies of the documents to him and the engineer of record on May 18. Pearce countered that he did not know whether that particular landscape architect was certified. Wittmer pointed out that the documents were not sealed, questioning whether they com- plied with her March 21 order. However, Pearce consented to admitting the documents into the record. "It goes to the weight of the evidence," Wittmer agreed. "That document would be accepted with the inclusion of the signed and sealed drawings," Mast noted.
