WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Cedar Lake, Lake County, Indiana (hereinafter the "Town Council"), has reviewed its business organization for the conduct of the business of the Town, including the "Quorum" requirements for its established system of Town Council Committees and Special Committees, Town Boards, Town Departments, and Town Council to conduct the business of the Town; and

WHEREAS, the Town Council, having reviewed the Town's business organization structure and procedures for the conduct of business in the Town, has now determined it appropriate and advisable to add clarification to voting processes and procedures that occur within Town Council Committees and Special Committees, Town Boards, Town Departments, and Town Council; and

WHEREAS, the Town Council, having determined it appropriate and advisable to add clarification to voting processes and procedures that occur within Town Council Committees and Special Committees, Town Boards, Town Departments, and Town Council, has concluded that establishment of an Ordinance defining such voting processes and procedures is appropriate for enhancement of clear and understandable administration of Town government for the residents of the Town hereafter; and

WHEREAS, the Town Council, being duly advised, has determined it appropriate, advisable, and in the best interests of the residents of the Town, that Quorum Voting Requirements for Town Boards, Town Departments, Special Committees, and Town Council that are part of Cedar Lake Municipal Government be established.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF CEDAR LAKE, LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA, AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION ONE: That the Town Council now establishes Quorum Voting Requirements for Town Boards, Town Departments, Special Committees, and the Town Council that are part of Cedar Lake Municipal Government, as set forth hereinafter.

SECTION TWO: That all prior provisions for any meeting body of Cedar Lake Municipal Government in the Town Code for voting requirements when only a Quorum is present at a meeting of said body is hereby repealed.

SECTION THREE: That the Quorum Voting Requirements set forth hereinafter be, and the same, are, hereby established as the Quorum Voting Regulations for the Town of Cedar Lake, and are enacted as follows.

These Quorum Voting Requirements now enacted by this Ordinance, entitled QUORUM VOTING REQUIREMENTS, shall read and provide as follows, namely:

"This SECTION is applicable to any and all meetings, as defined by applicable Indiana law, of an entity that are a part of Town of Cedar Lake Municipal Government, which includes, but is not limited to Committees and Special Committees of the Town Council, Town Departments, and any Town Board or appointed/elected body. A 'Quorum' of any such meeting body shall consist of a majority of all the members elected, appointed to, or in any other capacity serving as a member of such body. Upon the occurrence of a vote coming before such a body, although a Quorum of the body shall be necessary to conduct the business of the body and a vote of the body, a successful and effective vote to effectuate action of the body shall require a majority vote of said body in its entirety to pass and be approved.

For clarity and example, note herein: A body of seven (7) members may conduct a meeting if a Quorum (four (4) members) are present for said meeting. However, any vote of said body requires a majority vote of four (4) members to pass and become effective. If a Quorum vote is held and results in a majority vote of 3 to 1 in favor, said action shall fail for not reaching a total of the necessary four (4) votes."

SECTION FOUR: That all Ordinances and Town Code Sections, or parts thereof, in conflict with the provisions of this Quorum Voting Regulations Establishment Ordinance, are hereby deemed null, void, and of no legal effect, and are specifically repealed.

Attention: Plan Commission

Subject: Rose Garden Estates – Phases 1–3 | Performance Letter of Credit Reduction | (CBBEL Project No. 060015.00017)

Dear Plan Commission Members:

As requested, Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LLC (CBBEL) staff has reviewed a request from the Applicant to reduce the current Performance Letter of Credit based on installed and inspected infrastructure within Rose Garden Estates Subdivision, Phases 1–3. CBBEL staff have reviewed as-built drawings and completed field inspections for the development. The remaining punch list items for all three phases of this development were summarized in a letter to the Town dated January 19, 2026.

In support of this request, CBBEL has provided the estimated cost of these outstanding improvements, along with the original amounts, in the table below. The detailed revised estimates are also enclosed attached to this letter.

Rose Garden Estates — Performance LOC Reduction Summary
Phase #	Original Cost of Improvements	Estimated Cost of Remaining Improvements	Maximum LOC Reduction (25% of Original Improvements)
1	$5,516,087.50	$175,217.75	$1,379,021.88
2	$2,267,398.75	$88,583.50	$566,849.69
3	$1,739,163.50	$30,457.65	$434,790.88
Total	$9,522,649.75	$294,258.90	$2,380,662.44

As summarized in the table and documented in the enclosed cost estimates, the cost of the remaining improvements is significantly less than the 25% maximum reduction that is allowed by the Town Code. Based on this information, CBBEL recommends that the Performance Letters of Credit be reduced in accordance with the following:

The Performance Letter of Credit for Phase 1 can be reduced to $1,379,021.88, which represents the maximum reduction of 25% of the cost of the original improvements.
The Performance Letter of Credit for Phase 2 can be reduced to $566,849.69, which represents the maximum reduction of 25% of the cost of the original improvements.
The Performance Letter of Credit for Phase 3 can be reduced to $434,790.88, which represents the maximum reduction of 25% of the cost of the original improvements.

Lakeside Unit 2, Block 1 — Proposed Site Plan

Packet Page 31 | DVG Team, Inc. — Drawing No. C102 | Project No. 17-1085 | Scale: 1" = 100' | Date: 09-22-2022

Site Plan Description (Accessible Text Alternative): This is the proposed site plan for the Lakeside — Unit 2, Block 1 subdivision, prepared by DVG Team, Inc. for Cedar Lake 133 L.L.C. (8900 Wicker Ave., St. John, IN 46373), drawing number C102, dated September 22, 2022, at a scale of 1" = 100'.

The plan depicts a residential subdivision bounded by Robin Drive and Cardinal Lane to the west, Finch Court to the southwest, Bluebird Lane to the south-central area, 135th Avenue and 135th Place to the north-central area, 136th Avenue and 136th Place to the south, and Superior Lane, Lakeside Blvd., Victoria Lane, Victoria Court, and Tahoe Place to the east and interior.

The development contains approximately 200 numbered lots arranged along the interior streets. Outlots A, B, and C are identified (Outlot A is a large central open area, Outlots B and C are along the perimeter). A detention pond for Unit 2 — Block 1 is shown centrally, with associated dimensions (area approximately 10,085 sq. ft., water elevation 729.25, high water level 729.22, with a provision of 16.73 AC-FT).

Building setback lines of 30 feet are shown around the perimeter lots. The plan highlights ADA ramp locations at intersections and indicates Cedar Lake roll curb and gutter (33' back to back) throughout. ADA ramps shall be in accordance with INDOT Standard Detail for Paired Perpendicular Curb Ramps and Small Radius (see Sheet C209, Detail E604-SWCR-03). Storm structures are located at the curb radius midpoint (unless otherwise shown), which is in the area where the curb back is raised.

The boundary is referenced from SE corner of Robins Nest Unit 4 and the SE/SW corners of the E½, NW¼, Section 25-34-9. The south property line runs approximately N.89°11'45"W, approximately 1,330.22 feet.

Attention: Adam C. Minth — Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations

Subject: Hanover Central Middle-Elementary School — Letter of Credit | (CBBEL Project No. 060015.00017)

Dear Mr. Minth:

The purpose of this letter is to summarize the Letter of Credit requirements associated with the Hanover Central Middle-Elementary School Development. This is a follow-up to our review letter to the Town of Cedar Lake (Town) Plan Commission dated April 14, 2026 on this topic.

As stated in our April 14, 2026 letter, there is an existing Performance Letter of Credit for the development that will be expiring on May 24, 2026. The existing Performance Letter of Credit covers the water main and sidewalk improvements associated with the development. Based on field inspections and as-built infrastructure reviews completed for the project, we recommended that the existing Performance Letter of Credit be converted to a Maintenance Letter of Credit in the amount of $33,959.75 for a period of 3 years. The Plan Commission subsequently approved this recommendation at their April 15, 2026 meeting.

Also included in our April 14, 2026 review letter was a recommendation that a separate Performance Letter of Credit be established in the amount of $17,600 to cover outstanding repairs for the detention basin located in the southeast corner of the site (Detention Basin #4). The repairs were determined to be currently infeasible due to constant standing water in the facility, which is a direct result of downstream restrictions in the Norfolk-Southern Railroad culvert. To account for uncertainty in the timeline of the railroad culvert repairs, the Plan Commission increased the Performance Letter of Credit amount to $25,000. This was voted on and approved at their April 15, 2026 meeting.

Enclosed with this letter are the engineering cost estimates that are referenced above.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call.

Sincerely,
Luke J. Sherry, PE, CFM, CPESC

If AT&T does become aware of any errors or omissions in information are made or provided by Customer, AT&T will promptly notify Customer, in writing, of such errors and omissions.

10. Storage of Equipment

AT&T and/or its designated subcontractors may store a reasonable amount of Equipment, materials, tools, and other items necessary for the performance of the Services on a Site or in such other secure location(s) as Customer may designate, at no charge. Customer will take reasonable precautions to protect and maintain the integrity of any such items and will accept delivery of any such items delivered to Customer's Site when AT&T personnel are not available to accept delivery and place or direct the placement of such items on the Site or other secure location(s). In the event Customer accepts delivery of any items under this Pricing Schedule, Customer will promptly notify AT&T of the delivery and location of the items delivered.

11. Amendments; Termination

Customer will be charged for any additions, deletions, or changes ("Change") in the Equipment and/or Services. If Customer desires a Change, Customer will notify AT&T by written request, and AT&T will provide Customer a revised Bill of Materials and/or Statement of Work reflecting the Equipment, Service and price changes, shipping dates, Cutover dates, and other terms. Any increase or decrease in the price occasioned by a Change will be added to/subtracted from the amount of Customer's invoice. After the Effective Date of this Pricing Schedule, any changes to an Order or SOW requested by Customer will be processed as a "Change Order". If AT&T does not receive the executed change documents within 30 (thirty) days, no changes will be made to the original document. This Pricing Schedule may be amended or modified only by written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each party.

If Customer changes the work schedule in a SOW or if compliance with such schedule becomes impractical, due to no fault of AT&T, AT&T reserves the right to reevaluate and amend the pricing for Equipment and Services or to submit change notice for any additional costs incurred as a consequence of such changes.

Either party may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice. Either Party may terminate an Order or Change Order by giving the other Party written notice prior to Cutover. In the event Customer terminates an Order or Change Order: (i) prior to the date of delivery of any Equipment, Customer shall pay as a cancellation fee, and not as a penalty, an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total purchase price of the Equipment cancelled (and once Equipment is delivered to Customer, the relevant Order(s) may not be cancelled); and (ii) Customer shall be liable for an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the fees for Services for the remaining term of this Pricing Schedule (or any applicable Order) plus any non-recoverable costs including, but not limited to, amounts incurred by AT&T in connection with the provisioning of cancelled Equipment and Services. Upon termination, Customer agrees to pay all amounts due for Equipment and Services provided by AT&T up to and including the effective date of termination, plus any costs or expenses (including restocking fees) incurred by AT&T in connection with the performance of the Order. In the event the Customer terminates an Order or Change Order prior to Cutover, the Customer shall be liable for all expenses incurred by AT&T under that Order or Change. Upon termination, Customer agrees to pay AT&T all amounts due for Equipment and Services provided by AT&T up to and including the effective date of termination, plus any nonrecoverable restocking fees or other costs incurred by AT&T. Such payment will constitute a full and complete discharge of Customer's payment obligations. Termination will also constitute a full and complete discharge of AT&T's obligations. Any Order in progress or requested prior to the termination of this Pricing Schedule will be completed and Customer agrees to pay AT&T for the Services performed and/or any Equipment delivered or installed under the Order.

Customer will only be liable for the charges incurred in connection with termination as described in this Section 11. Customer shall not be responsible for any other termination charges specified in the Master Agreement.

12. Termination of Purchase Order; Suspension of Service

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Pricing Schedule, Order(s) may not be terminated, suspended or canceled unless: a) the other party is in material breach of or default under such Order, and such breach or default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice by the party not in breach or default; or b) any federal, state or local governmental agency or regulatory body or a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction renders or enters an order, ruling, regulation, directive, decree or judgment which restricts or prohibits either party from continuing, impairs either party's ability to continue, or makes impractical or unduly expensive either party's continuance under such Order or this Agreement.

13. General Provisions

AT&T is entitled to increased compensation and/or time for completion where AT&T encounters concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in any documents provided under this Agreement or otherwise represented by Customer, or latent physical conditions which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in the installation and/or maintenance activities contemplated by this Pricing Schedule, where such conditions would materially interfere with, delay or increase cost of performance under this Pricing Schedule.

All intellectual property in all Services and Equipment shall be the sole and exclusive property of AT&T or its suppliers.

Attention: Town Council
Re: Town Engineer Report for May 19, 2026 Town Council Meeting (CBBEL Project No.: 060015.00001)

This letter summarizes Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LLC (CBBEL) Town Engineer activities for reporting and action (as necessary) for the May 19, 2026 Town Council meeting. This report covers activities for the period of April 16, 2026 through May 13, 2026.

1) Cedar Lake Dredging and Sediment Dewatering Facility Project

Dewatering of the Sediment Dewatering Facility has continued and CBBEL remains on-call as needed. It is our understanding the Town received $2 million as part of the Part B Special Needs Fund for the Monsanto Class Action Lawsuit. This funding was applied for in July 2023 to aid in additional sediment removal from the lake and partially fund Alum treatment for the lake. We understand that the Town is currently deliberating on how to best use these funds. CBBEL staff will be on-call to assist the Town with any additional information needed throughout the decision-making process. No Change from Previous Report

2) MS4 Coordination

CBBEL staff have completed Quarter 1 MS4 construction site inspections for 2026 and continued inspections for Quarter 2. We also have continued to respond to construction site complaints as they arise and meet with developers upon request to assist with site compliance questions.

3) NIRPC / State Legislature / INDOT / IDNR Updates

We understand that the funding that was previously allocated by NIRPC for the Founders Creek Multi-Use Path Project has been cancelled, but the funding is expected to be reprogrammed at a future time. As a reminder, 5 of the 6 easements that are required from private property owners for the multi-use path project have been obtained. An easement for an alternative path alignment that avoids the last remaining property holdout is still necessary. CBBEL has prepared a draft exhibit for the remaining easement needed for the alternative alignment. We are waiting on further direction from the Town for next steps.

4) Other Funding Opportunities

Community Crossing Grant, 2024-2: The Shades Phase 2 project was awarded to Rieth-Riley Construction Company, Inc. at the February 18, 2025 Town Council meeting. Signed contracts and supporting award documentation were submitted to INDOT prior to the CCMG deadline to procure funds totaling $770,092.09. After several months of delays, NIPSCO's contractor (Meade) started the gas relocation work in early July 2025 and finished up work in early September 2025. Based on discussions with Rieth-Riley and Town Staff, it was decided to delay construction until Spring 2026 to avoid paving during the winter months. Construction began the first week in April and the storm sewer portion of the project was recently completed. The project is estimated to be substantially complete by July 4th. As a reminder, this CCMG project must be closed out by June 2026 to stay on track with state funding application deadlines; a waiver from the deadline will be required to stay eligible for future CCMG funding opportunities.
Community Crossing Grant, 2026-1: An application for funding was submitted for the Shades BC Subdivision, which covers 145th Avenue between Morse Street and Colfax Street, as well as portions of Bell Street, Bell Place, Sherman Street, Fairbanks Street, Windsor Street, Hobart Street, Wheeler Street, and 146th Avenue. A bid opening was held on March 16th and the lowest bidder was Site Services, Inc. with an amount of $488,981.65. INDOT subsequently approved a 50% funding match in the amount of $244,490.82 and the Town awarded the contract to Site Services, Inc. The contract paperwork is currently being processed by the various parties and construction is anticipated to begin in June 2026. The duration of construction is estimated at 2–3 months for substantial completion.

5) Town Street Committee & Roadway Items

Future Roadway Improvements: Based on recent discussions with the Town Street Committee, CBBEL has been tasked with developing conceptual costs for improving several sections of roadway in Town that are in the poorest condition. These areas include the following:
- Shades E and F Subdivisions (southeast of the intersection of 133rd Avenue and Morse Street)
- Birch Street, between 137th and 139th Avenues
- Reeder Road/149th Avenue (CBBEL previously prepared concept cost estimates for this area, but costs need to be updated to reflect 2026 construction pricing).
- Robin's Nest Subdivision (CBBEL previously prepared concept cost estimates for this area, but costs need to be updated to reflect 2026 construction pricing).
Once updated conceptual costs are developed for these projects, CBBEL will present this information to the Town Street Committee for further discussion and direction.
141st Avenue Corridor (Parrish Avenue to Norfolk Southern Railroad): CBBEL has finalized the preliminary design/cost estimate of the proposed improvements and that information was presented to Town staff. It was determined that these improvements would be postponed to coincide with additional future development in this corridor, and therefore CCMG funding for this project will not be pursued at this time. No Change from Previous Report
133rd Avenue Road Raise: CBBEL has been coordinating with NIPSCO on the required utility relocates and also with INDOT on the final design. CBBEL is currently revising the Stage 3 design plans based on the latest INDOT review comments that were received. Final tracings were due on March 16, 2026. The letting for this project was originally programmed for November 2025, was rescheduled for July 2026, and was just recently pushed back again to August 2026. With the revised letting schedule, construction is anticipated to be pushed back to Spring 2027.
Shades AA/AB Paving Projects, CCMG 2025-01: The Town was notified on March 6th that they were awarded funding for both applications totaling $342,000.00. Executed INDOT contracts were distributed by the Clerk-Treasurer on April 11th.
- Shades AA: Murton Dr, W. 129th Pl, W. 129th Ln, W. 130th Ave, Knight St, Fulton St, Morse Ln. All roads are located northeast of Hilltop Street and Lake Shore Drive.
  - Project scope includes a mix between a 2-inch HMA overlay, mill/overlay, pavement patching, swale restoration, etc.
  - Project Length: 0.77 miles
  - Cost Estimate: $321,900.00 or +/- $42k/mile
- Shades AB: W. 130th Pl, W. 131st Ave, W. 131st Pl, Morse Street, W. 132nd Ave, W. 132nd Pl, W. 132nd Ln. All roads are located northeast of SIP coffeehouse and Dollar General.
  - Project scope includes a 2-inch HMA overlay, mill overlay, curb/gutter on Morse Street, minor storm sewer upgrades, swale restoration, etc.
  - Project Length: 0.83 miles
  - Cost Estimate: $364,600.00 or +/- $44k/mile
The contract was awarded by the Town to Milestone Contractors North, Inc. in the amount of $693,240.00. Construction began the first week of August and is now complete. All punchlist items have been addressed and the final pay application was approved at the January 20th Town Council meeting. CBBEL is currently working on the paperwork to officially close out the project.
Railroad At-Grade Sidewalk Crossing: No Change from Previous Report. CBBEL received the PE agreement from the Norfolk Southern Railroad and their engineering consultant (AECOM) on June 10th for the proposed crossing at 141st Avenue near the Hanover Central Middle School. The PE agreement was estimated at $24,612.00 that would cover costs incurred by Norfolk Southern Railroad and AECOM during design and review of the crossing (Concept, 30%, 60%, 90%, 100% reviews). Any signal improvements (as necessary) and other construction items are the responsibility of the Town.
The other three crossings at 141st Avenue between Beacon Pointe/Beacon Pointe East, 137th Avenue between Kiwanis Park and Winding Creek — Unit 2, and 133rd Avenue on the CSX Railroad are on hold until further direction is provided.

We were made aware of a new funding opportunity provided by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Railroad Crossing Elimination (Crossing Safety) Program. Eligible projects include the planning and implementation of railroad crossing safety projects. Certain projects contain a $1M minimum and there is a 20% local match requirement. The deadline for the funding applications is June 8th, 2026. CBBEL is currently investigating whether it is worthwhile for the Town to pursue this funding for any of the railroad safety projects listed above.
Road Impact Fee: No Change from Previous Report. CBBEL provided a memorandum on June 23, 2024 summarizing costs and tasks related to implementing a Road Impact Fee on new developments. In response to the Town's RFP for the study, CBBEL submitted a proposal on February 20th and we understand it is currently being reviewed by Town staff.
Community Development Block Grant Funding: The Utopia ADA Ramp and Sidewalk Improvements Project was awarded to J&J Newel Concrete Contractors, Inc. at the December 16, 2025 Town Council meeting. The total bid price for the project was $94,006 and the Town's CDBG allotment is $93,955.00. Construction began the week of April 6th and is substantially complete. CBBEL is working on the final paperwork to officially close out this project, which must be completed by June 30, 2026 as a condition of the funding.

6) Water Utility

Following completion of the Water Master Plan, CBBEL has been providing on-call assistance for the Town Water Department for implementing improvements to the east and west side water systems. A conceptual improvement plan for future wells was prepared for the property located immediately south of the existing Parrish Avenue wells (Molderhill Property) to assist the Town's decision making in the purchase of that property. A special public meeting held on May 6th and the Town approved the purchase of that property. It is expected that the design of the conceptual improvements will be advanced after the property deal is finalized.

7) Plan Commission

CBBEL has been completing civil review and coordination activities for the following proposed developments:

Ravine Estates — Two-Lot Subdivision: The proposed project involves a two-lot subdivision for the property located northeast of Morse Street and 131st Place. The final plat of subdivision was reviewed at the May work session and is expected to be approved at the voting session on May 20th.
Municipal Complex Subdivision — Plat of Subdivision: CBBEL prepared a final plat for the two-lot subdivision associated with the Police-Fire Development. The final plat was reviewed at the April work session and was approved at the voting session on April 15th.

8) Stormwater Management Board

7513 W. 136th Avenue, Woodland Shores: This project requires drainage easements from two property owners (Ortiz-Hinds and Osan). Legal descriptions, easement exhibits, and easement agreements were previously prepared but were never executed. Based on further discussions with the property owners, it is desired to design the proposed improvements around the existing mature trees in this location. CBBEL is reanalyzing this area to determine if impacts to the mature trees are feasible. Any updates to the design will also require revision to the easement documents that were previously prepared.

Meyer Manor Terrace/Lake Shore Drive Storm Sewer: This project consists of storm sewer improvements to upgrade the existing drainage system, which currently consists of multiple different pipe materials, blind connections, and failing pipes. This will be a significant project that is most likely beyond the annual budget constraints of Storm Board. Due to the cost of the improvements, breaking the project up into multiple phases is necessary. CBBEL prepared a conceptual phasing plan and costs were presented to the Board at the May 12th meeting. Since a portion of the improvements overlap with future improvements at Potawatomi Park, there is a potential partnership between the Storm Board and Park Board to implement the improvements in this location. Further discussion and coordination on this project is expected to continue.

Stormwater Ordinance Updates: Draft updates to the Stormwater Ordinance and Technical Standards Manual were initially presented at the April 14th Storm Board meeting and were approved at the May 12th meeting. The revisions are based on updated rainfall data, improved technical standards/details, and to make the language consistent with current Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) permit requirements. With the approval of the Storm Board, these documents will be passed along to Town Staff for further review and eventual adoption by the Town Council. Once approved, the updated Stormwater Ordinance and Technical Standards Manual will replace the current version of these documents which were developed in 2006.

Water Quality Testing: As discussed at the April 14th Storm Board meeting, a quote from Microbac Laboratories was obtained to perform water quality testing at several key inflow points to Cedar Lake. The quote was reviewed and approved at the May 12th meeting, although the quote will be updated to also perform testing for heavy metals at the sampling points. A notice to proceed is expected to be approved once an updated quote is reviewed and accepted by the Board.

9) Building Department

13650 Muir Street Ravine Restoration: An onsite meeting was held on April 27th to discuss the details/schedule of the ravine restoration that is required as part of the building permit for 13650 Muir Street. The meeting was attended by the affected residents, CBBEL and Town staff, and representatives from Steiner Homes. It is understood that no building occupancy will be provided until the restoration work has been completed and accepted by the Town. Dan Steiner promised that the proposed work would be completed as soon as the weather and site conditions allow, and that he would provide a 5-year guarantee in writing to provide additional peace of mind. It was stated that the attorney for Steiner would get something in writing for the Town to review.

Other Items: CBBEL has also been completing site plan and as-built reviews for individual lots. CBBEL has also been completing on-going development reviews and letter of credit inspections in the following subdivisions/projects: Beacon Pointe, Faith Church, Lakeside, Lakeview Business Park, Oak Brook, Railside, and Summer Winds. MS4 construction inspections are also being completed at each development, where applicable.

Thank you for allowing us to provide you with these Town's engineering services. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call.

Sincerely,
Luke J. Sherry, PE, CFM
