RE: Maintenance of Non-Standard Construction Materials within Broad Street (S-10-1015).
Dear Mr. Richards:
The City of Charleston, through its Technical Review Committee, and in keeping with the non-standard
construction materials that have historically been used in the streets adjacent to the site, requires the
installation of 610 linear-foot long granite curb to be constructed in conjunction with the Jasper
construction project, within the SCDOT right-of-way at Broad Street (S-10-1015).
The City Council of Charleston, at its meeting held [date of meeting], in order to maintain the historic
character of the streetscape in Charleston, agreed to accept maintenance responsibility for the non-
standard curbing material within the State maintained right-of-way shown on the attached drawing. The
City of Charleston agrees to maintain the granite curbing in compliance with current ADA and SCDOT
standards (ADA Standards for Transportation Facilities, SC Highway Design Manual, SCDOT Standard
Drawings, and AASHTO Guide for Development of Pedestrian Facilities).
Should there be any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 843-724-3754 or at
cabinessl@charleston-sc.gov.
Sincerely,
Laura S. Cabiness, P.E.
