Please accept this letter as a formal demand that the Town of Southold not release the performance bond posted by the developer of Wildberry Fields, Beta II, LLC and 2"d Generation Properties LLC as there are numerous deficiencies, including substandard, defective construction, and non-completed obligations, all of which have caused damages to the individual property owners and created hazardous conditions in the development as set forth below: 1. The primary issue is the diffusion well. The lower most ring was damaged and improperly backfilled. The well was not installed at the proper depth and needs to go down 8 more feet. This has caused flooding in the roadway and extending to the property owners individual lots. (Ex. A) 1377 Motor Parkway, Suite 400, Islandia, NY 11749 1 631.755.0101 1 F 631.755.0117 1 www.lewisjohs.com NEW YORK LONG ISLAND SARATOGA LEWIS N JOHS July 11, 2024 Lewis Johs Avallone Aviles, LLP Page 2 Counsellors at Law 2. A silt fence required by the approved plan was not installed. (Ex. B) 3. The"temporary"stockpile has not been removed. (Ex. C) 4. The appropriate number and height of screening trees were not installed and 18 of the installed trees are dead. (Ex. D) 5. The developer failed to install another layer of asphalt, as required. (Ex. E) 6. Installed curbs are already cracking, particularly in the flooded area. (Ex. F) 7. The barrier fence is damaged. (Ex. G) 8. There is debris around the diffusion well. (Ex. H) 9. The installed street lamp is non-functioning as it has no power and no bulb. (Ex. 1) Based on the foregoing, I'm sure you can agree that the performance bond should not be released. Please let us know what actions the Town is taking to ensure that the major subdivision is delivered in accordance with its approved plans. I welcome the opportunity to meet and discuss with whomever you think appropriate. Regards, Fre erick rC.
