This letter is to verify that FPL will level and redo the sodding at the park in Sunset Island in the area
where we stored our material and parked our trucks, As previously discussed we will also level and redo
the sodding where the mOWld is presently at per your instructions, please confum with Mrs, Sharpstein that
this is what the residents want done to avoid any fl1rlher complications.
I have asked our crew Supervisor to let me know when the landseaper will be at the site so that I can go
and see the work being done, Also I would like a membex of the HOA to see the work that our landscaper
is doing, This should keep us from having to go back after the work is completed, THIS JOB SHOULD
BE COMPLETED BY APRIL 12nl,
Please call me with Mrs, Sharpstein telephone number so that I can WOlUl her of the dates we'll be out
