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