<br />We inspected the Carriage Hill subdivision today. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether all
<br />site work has been completed in accordance with the Developer's Agreement. Based on our observations most
<br />site work is complete. The pond dredging, cleaning and riprap stabilization that was outlined in our August 25,
<br />2000 letter has been completed. The one item remaining is the grading of the 10:1 aquatic bench around the
<br />pond at the NWL as shown on the approved grading plans. This item is important from a safety aspect as the
<br />bench promotes the growth of aquatic vegetation and provides a natural barrier to children trying to enter the
<br />pond.
<br />The work that has been completed to date was done in accordance with City standards and is acceptable from
<br />an engineering standpoint. We would recommend a reduction in the financial guarantee in the following
<br />manner:
<br />Original Amount
<br />Previous Reduction
<br />Previous Reduction
<br />Proposed Reduction
<br />Revised Amount
<br />Letter of Credit
<br />$143,408
<br />$87,758
<br />$12,750
<br />37 900
<br />$5,0©0
<br />The proposed financial guarantee should be retained until the pond grading improvements described above are
<br />complete.
<br />Please contact me at (651) 604-4863 if you have any questions regarding this matter.
<br />Yours very truly,
<br />BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK, & ASSOCIATES, INC.
