Dear Mr. Heim:
Enclosed please find one original and one copy of the following for the above referenced project:
• Application Fee ($480)
• Fast Track Application (One original and one copy)
• Flow Tracking/Acceptance Letter
• USGS Topographic map
• Aerial/Street Level Map
This project involves construction of the private portion of a gravity sewer extension to serve the
Groves at Waters Edge, a proposed I 50-unit apartment project. This private portion of the project
includes approximately 870 LF of gravity sewer. An additional Fast Track Application will be submitted
for the public portion of the project.
