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.

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. Record drawings have been submitted for all public infrastructure within this unit and a letter was forwarded to the Applicant on November 27, 2024. Since then, additional infrastructure was installed and inspected, including the final asphalt surface.

We recommend that the Performance Letter of Credit be reduced to $548,631.81. This represents the maximum reduction of 25% from the original Letter of Credit. The revised estimate is attached to this letter.

All improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the Town's Development Standards and all applicable Town, County, State and Federal regulations. The Applicant is required to obtain all Town, County, State and Federal permits required for the construction of this project.

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

Sincerely,

Luke J. Sherry, PE, CFM, CPESC
