SCDOT District 6 2401 Maintenance Way North Charleston, SC 29406 Re: Maintenance of Stormwater Drainage System within Portions of Halsey Boulevard (S-1015) and Barre Street (S-669) Dear Mrs. Timmons, The City of Charleston, through its Technical Review Committee and desire to permit the construction of additional housing within peninsular Charleston, has reviewed the drainage studies and plans for the Halsey Park development. We understand that the SCDOT is requiring a letter from the city indicating that the City of Charleston will be responsible for the maintenance of the drainage system within the state maintained right-of-way. Further, based on our meeting which took place on November 6, 2014, we understand that SCDOT will maintain the cross pipe under Halsey Boulevard and the city will be responsible for maintenance of the portion of the drainage system which will be constructed within the Halsey Boulevard and Barre Street rights-of-way. The City Council of Charleston, at its meeting held November 25, 2014, approved action by staff to notify SCDOT that it has agreed to accept maintenance responsibility for the portion of the proposed stormwater drainage system within in the state maintained right-of-way shown on the attached drawing after it has been constructed to City of Charleston construction standards.
