Re: Acceptance of Burnt Hills Subdivision
I have inspected the Burnt Hills Subdivision, which includes Burnt Hills Drive and Wooden Lane.
At this point and time, it has only binder down. The Michaels Group has two (2) years from the
date of acceptance to put the topcoat down. Cash escrow or a letter of credit for the amount of
$91,000.00 is acceptable for the topcoat.
If applicable, all drainage easements need to be in place.
To the best of my knowledge, it meets the specifications set forth by the Town of Queensbury
Highway Department. I hereby recommend its acceptance.
Respectfully,
