Gerstad Builders requested that its Letter of Credit for Winding
Creek 5, Unit 1 be reduced and that the City accept all improvements in
the subdivision except the uncompleted sidewalks on eight lots on
Carriage Trail, eight lots on Driftwood Trail, seven lots on Glenbrook
Trail, and approximately 150 feet of sidewalk on the north side of
Winding Creek Drive. To cover the cost of installation of sidewalks on
those lots, it was suggested that a total of $24,192.00 be retained. It
was also noted that approval of a reduction in the Letter of Credit would
be a second reduction which the Subdivision Control Ordinance prohibits.
Baxter and Woodman did recommend acceptance of all other improvements.
It was recommended that the acceptance of the reduction in the Letter of
Credit should be conditioned upon receipt of a maintenance warranty in
the amount of $158,125.00 - $24,192.00 = $133,933.00 X 20% = $26,787.00.
Motion by Smith, seconded by Serritella, to reduce the Letter of
Credit for Winding Creek 5, Unit 1 and waive the Ordinance requirement
regarding a second reduction accepting a surety of $24,192.00 for the
balance of the sidewalks and accepting the balance of public improvements
conditioned upon receipt of a one year maintenance warranty in the amount
of $26,787,00.
