At this time, all monumentation except P.C.P.'s and individual lot corners of the above
referenced plat have been set. According to Florida statutes, all lot corners must be established
within one year of plat recordation and that all such corners are a required improvement, and
therefore, can be bonded.
It is my estimate that all monumentation set forth in Chapter 177, Florida Statutes can be
established for a fee of Two Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($2,806,00).
