Dear Supervisor Colsey and Town Board Members:
This office and the Highway Superintendent have performed a final inspection of
the road and related stormwater facilities in the Blackwatch Farm subdivision. It is
recommended that the roads are ready for initial acceptance by the Town Board, with a
one-year maintenance bond.
This office recommends that the maintenance bond amount should be 20% of
the initial project bond amount, $141,140 (note that all amounts are rounded to the
nearest whole dollar).
A print of the as-built is enclosed with this letter, and prints and PDFs of the as-
built have been sent as noted below for the CC recipients.
The five (5) detention ponds called for on the approved plans have been
constructed substantially in conformance with the plans. However, the ponds have
been constructed as "dry" ponds in lieu of the "wet" ponds shown on the plans. The
ponds will drain completely rather than retain water. Therefore, we recommend that the
detention ponds not be accepted pending Planning Board acceptance of the as-built
design of the ponds. In addition, the "dry hydrant" that was proposed on Lot #11 has
been constructed and is acceptable.
