In response to the late comments raised by Staff at your Final
Review of the Orchard at Clarendon Hills, we have completed the
following:
Copies of the Quit Claim Deeds defining the area to be
replatted with The Orchard final plans are attached. These
documents will be executed as soon as Clarendon Hills has
closed on the Orchard 2nd Annexation property. The Wilsons
(owners.of lot 23 Clarendon Hills 1st Filing) have agreed to
these Quit Claim Deeds and to the replat that will allow
access to Lot 27 as indicated on Exhibit "A".
- An amended variance request from Dennis Donovan of Land
Development Services is attached. This letter reflects the
professional opinions regarding safety, the Professional
Engineer's seal, and other information requested by Mike
Herzig.
- Having met with Storm Drainage Staff and reviewed the
drainage questions in detail, we are satisfied that we can
now resolve all the concerns raised with final plans. The
required detention in the southeast corner of The Orchard
will provided in one of three methods:
* Integrated into the backs of the single family lots as
shown, with specific restrictions on fencing, grading,
landscaping and the like;
In a separate tract to be deeded to and maintained by
the City Storm Drainage Utility as per the current
ordinances regarding drainage facilities in residential
subdivisions; or
* On the adjacent parcel to the south (under common
ownership) where the detention pond will be designed
into the landscaping of this larger home site.

On December 6th, we met on the site with Tim Buchannan to
review the state of the existing trees on the site. Tim
indicated that our approach to development of the site
including narrowing the street to preserve more of the
viable trees, supplementing the streetscape with new
fruit/ornamental trees, and leaving the remaining live trees
on individual lots so that home builders may, to the extent
practical, design around desirable trees - was sound.
- The preliminary plat now clearly notes that right-of-way for
the possible extension of Apple Drive will be dedicated with
the final plat of The Orchard.
I have also attached the color rendered plat, reductions, and
ten full size prints for your use with the Planning and Zoning
Board. Other color illustrations included in this package may be
photographed for possible use at the P&Z presentation, but we ask
that they be returned - unfolded - to Cityscape.
If further discussion on any of the above items is needed
please call.
Sincerely,
Eldon Ward, President -'
