Richards, PE Assistant District Maintenance Engineer SCDOT-District 6 6355 Fain Street North Charleston, SC 29406 Re: Maintenance of Sidewalk Standard Construction Materials at Sam Rittenberg (SC 7) Dear Mr. Richards: This letter concerns the proposed installation of a 5-foot wide by 141-linear-foot long concrete sidewalk and two 5-foot by 13-linear-foot concrete sidewalk sections in conjunction with the Ashley Landing Outparcel Project (1319 Sam Rittenberg Blvd) within the SCDOT right-of-way at Sam Rittenberg Blvd (SC 7). It is our intention that these will be public sidewalks. The City Council of Charleston at its meeting held October 24, 2017, agreed to accept maintenance responsibility for the proposed sidewalk within the State maintained right-of-way shown on the attached drawing and which will be constructed under a valid a SCDOT Encroachment Permit. The City of Charleston agrees to maintain this sidewalk in compliance with current ADA and SCDOT standards (ADA Standards for Transportation Facilities, SC Highway Design Manual, SCDOT Standard Drawings, 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.
