Re: Request for Reduction in Letter of Credit No 6512-117, Towne Lakes 6th
Dear Mr. Nafstad,
Thank you for updating me on the City Council action delaying our letter of credit reduction
request. Hopefully I can share with staff and the City Council some background to resolve
this matter so we may receive are requested letter of credit reduction.
First of all, the areas containing excess fill material is not within our Towne Lakes
development. The two areas of excess material are actually location on the commercial
property which is not within our Towne Lakes development. One area with the excess
material is in a berm located at the very north end of the commercial property adjacent to
70th St. The other area is what GCI Builders generated as a part of their site grading for the
area known as Shoppes at Towne Lakes 2°d or Perkins site.
The material in the berm along 70th St was after the fact of our meeting with GCI Builders on
November 21, 2005. We met with Al Keller on site and agreed to remove excess material
that was left on site from our builders as a result of excess material from the home building
process and our construction activities in Towne Lakes 5th. This material was deposited
prior to the sale of the property to GCI. On December 12 and 13, 2005 Fehn Excavating
removed off site 2,580 cu. yds. of material which would have been our share of the agreed
to amount of material to be removed. I have attached a copy of the letter to Al Keller
addressing removal of the fill and an invoice from Fehn Excavating for removing excess
material. I hope this gives the City Council the background necessary to see that we are not
involved of the excess material concern.
We respectfully request the City Council grant our request to reduce the letter of credit in
the amount of $61,011.00 ($329,649.00- $268,638.00) to leave a balance of
$268,638.00 to guarantee the remaining municipal, on and off -site improvements and
landscaping in Towne Lakes 6th.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I will be present to answer any
further questions the City Council may have.
Sincerely,
43

Re: Excess Fill Material — Outlot A, Towne Lakes 6th Addition
Dear Al:
This letter is to memorialize our discussions at our meeting last Monday,
November 21 regarding the excess material that was inadvertently placed on
your site (Outlot A, Towne Lks 6th). As discussed we agreed to have the
balance of the material removed and site restored back to original grade. The
berm that exists adjacent to 70th St. will remain for the most part except the
easterly area that we reviewed. It is our intent to have this work completed yet
this year, weather permitting. We understand that your project schedule may
commence grading in phase 2 of the Shoppes and therefore wish to be
completed as soon as possible. If weather prevents us from completing our task
we will resume in the spring.
Westwood will provide survey plans/documents of the existing grades, monitor
removal of the material and certify that the grades match pre -development
conditions.
Thank you for your time in resolving this matter. If I have misrepresented any
of our discussions above please let me know.
Sincerely
vid Hempel
