Gentlemen:
As you know, at the tine of the filing of the Plat of Tequesta, namely,
December 20, 1956 we entered into an agreement with Pala Beach County in and by
which we were obligated to complete the streets and highways shorn an said plat
together with all drainage in connection therewith in accordance with the plans
of Brockway, Weber & Brockway, PlAineers, under their file No. TF 1695—P. Accompany—
ing this agree-milt was a bond in the amount of $260,316.54 assuring our performance
under this agreement.
As you may also know, under the Darr, upon the incorporation of the Village
of Tequesta, our obligations and duties under said contract became academic with
regard to all of the streets and highways with the exception of that portion of
ToWesta Drive from the center line of F,1 Portal to the Martin Cowty lime for the
reason that the County could no longer exercise control over same. It is our
intention, nevertheless, to complete all of the streets and highways in the Village
and the drainage in connection therewith in accordance with Brockwayes plans,
except as modified by the Village Councilmen and Tequesta, Inc. by mutual agreement.
The purpose of this letter is to assure you of this completion and to induce �
you on the basis thereof to formally accept the responsibility of the maintenance
of said streets and highways after the name have been completed, it being under —
stood that until then, the responsibility will be ours.
Yours very truly,,
TE;LrMTA, INC.
