Re:  Release of Escrow - Fine grade, Topsoil, and
  Hydroseed all areas of disturbance
  Smokes Creek Farm Subdivision 22-Sublot; PIP #2021-01

Dear Board Members:

On December 15, 2021, the Town Board accepted dedication of the public improvements
constructed in the above referenced subdivision with the stipulation that funds paid by the
developer be held in escrow until fine grading of all areas of disturbance were completed in
order to eliminate ponding water and finish backing up the gutters with topsoil and hydroseed.

The contractor has since completed the grading work on Edgewood Court, as well as the
Town Detention Properties. The work was inspected by both the Building and Engineering
Department and found to be in compliance with Town specifications.

I, therefore, recommend  that you authorize the Town  Clerk to release to Thomas  Johnson
Land Development, LLC, located at 6435 West Quaker Street, Orchard Park, New York
14127, the $15,000.00 held in escrow for fine grading all areas of disturbance to eliminate
ponding water and finish backing up the gutters with topsoil and hydroseed in the Smokes
Creek Farm Subdivision 22-Sublot, PIP #2021-01.

Vd oe
Respectfully  Submitted,

Wayne L/Bieler, P.E., CFM
