1. CFPUA has been in communications with the developer regarding the bond. The developer will
resubmit the bond to CFPUA for re-review.
2. CFPUA is still waiting project related items to complete the review of the plat. These items
directly affect the review of the plat, and therefore, the plat cannot be reviewed at this time.
3. CFPUA cannot sign the plat until the water and sewer have received final certification from the
State or the project has been bonded.
Fire Services, Raymond Griswold 910-798-7448
1. I made a site visit out to this location and the following observations were made:
2. I could not get on-site, as the site is not ready for my visit. Contractors still working on / in
roadways. The roads are not marled yet and very damp with this weekend rains.
3. Water to the site is still under construction, with no water on the lines.
4. Could not accurately visualize fire hydrants due to site not ready for our access. No water on
lines.
5. I reviewed the site map I had back in office. It appears there are 4 fire hydrants in this phase.

6. Obviously, no street signs.
7. Based on my viewing I do not think this project is ready for Final Platting
NHC Engineering, Galen Jameson 910-798-7072

construction certification is needed prior to Engineering signing the plat. Indicate which phase
the certification applies too unless this is the final certificate.

stabilized prior to Engineering signing the plat.
3. The NHC bond estimate appears to include CFPUA related items, please clarify.
4. Quantities, not percent complete, for the bond estimate are needed.
5. Lot 253 is not indicated in the County approved stormwater permit plans. The amenity pond
located behind lots 241-244 and 236-232 are not shown in the County approved permit plans.
Please provide revised stormwater permit plans and calculations.
6. The $300/acre fee for land disturbing activities will need to be resolved prior to signature.
