Engineering Department City of Sebastian 1225 Main Street Sebastian, FL 32958 Re: Ashbury Subdivision Dear Mr. Fisher, This is to advise you the asphalt repairs and overlay between stations 100+00 and 105+00 have been completed in accordance with my letter of April 12, 2006. A minimal amount of thermal striping which must be reinstalled cannot be completed until the new asphalt overlay has cared for 30 days. A separate letter from the developer guaranteeing the installation of the rhermal striping within 45 days is attached. As you are aware, the additional work agreed to be completed at the end of Powerline Road by the Developer was not part of the City approved construction plan but will still be completed in accordance with the April. 121fi letter. Since this work was not part of the original construction plans I believe the release of the performance bond should be zt the time of substantial completion of the overall subdivision, rather than delayed until that work is complete. I therefore certify ail construction for the Ashbury Subdivision has been substantially completed in accordance with the City of Sebastian approved construction plans and respectfully request the release of the performance bonds. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to give me a call. Sincerely, ulke. P.E. r' (,'ef Robert Robb FL Reg.

CIVIL & STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING • LAND PLANNING • ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING Dear Dave, In response to the remaining issues at Ashbury, I have: 1. Sidewalks — Attached is my correspondence to Tracy Haas and to you (Dave Fisher) regarding sidewalk requirements. On November 1, 2004, I attended a TRC meeting at the City to review the construction plans. I had not proposed a sidewalk north of our project frontage (in front of the FP&L substation on Powerline Rd.) for several reasons, which are: a. Typically, we are only required to construct improvements along our frontage. b. The existing grades at FP&L were much lower than the proposed Powerline Rd. grades. In order to construct the sidewalk along the east right-of-way line, we would have to fill several feet, which would cause anencroachment onto FP&L property with the fill sloped. However, at the T.R.C., it was strongly recommended that I add the sidewalk along Powerline Rd. from our northern limits, across FP&L's frontage and connect to the sidewalk at the Pelican Isle Apartments. Your staff suggested I put the 5' sidewalk against the curb to solve the fill slope encroachment problem. Based on this recommendation, I revised the plans and submitted for final approval. Attached are my notes from the meeting and correspondence to you dated November 24, 2004, indicating that we revised the sidewalk pursuant to staff review and request. Based on the above, I would respectfully request your acceptance of the sidewalk construction as completed. 2. Drainage pipe crossing Powerline Rd. — I did not realize the City had a policy or regulation prohibiting B.C.C.M.P. pipe in the right-of-way. On the contrary, I was under the impressions that this was a suitable pipe, and the ADS -N12 pipe, which 1717 INDIAN RIVER BLVD., SUITE 201, VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32960 TEL 772 / 770-9622 Fax 772 / 770-9496 EMAIL info@sbsengineers.com N David Fisher O " City Engineer =0 1225 Main Street Sebastian, FL 32958 Re: Ashbury Final Comments Dear Dave, In response to the remaining issues at Ashbury, I have: 1.

The pipe was specifically changed in the right-of-way to B.C.C.M.P. for this reason, and because, as a rule, we do not specify plastic pipe where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. This pipe outfalls into a ditch and is exposed to sunlight. Our use of B.C.C.M.P. was not proposed as a cost saving measure, but based on our understanding of what the City would prefer and approve. At this point, the pipe is installed crossing Powerline Rd., and I do not believe the removal and replacement with ADS or RCP is in the City's best interest. This would leave a patch and potential area where settlement would likely occur now or in the future. I also believe that the expected design life of the B.C.C.M.P. is adequate and will outlast the pavement design life. Based on the above, I would respectfully request your acceptance of the drainage pipe as installed. 3. Dead end condition at Powerline Rd. — Based on my recent conversation with you, I understand that the Police Department concurs that a clear and level area is more desirable than the installation of a guardrail. We have submitted specifications to your office for approval. In general, we proposed to add additional signage and clear and level a suitable area beyond the pavement terminus to permit a vehicle to stop if it were to run through the warning signs. I believe this addresses the remaining items on the punchlist for Ashbury subdivision that require your additional consideration. Please let me know your decisions on these matters as soon as possible. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
