RE: Emeraencv Access Onlv Gates - The Hills at Lake Eden
Dear Mr. Borden:
Please be advised that Kennedy Homes has submitted for a construction permit
for the emergency access only gates located on the Seacrest side of the project.
Kennedy is proposing that this entry system will be installed using a manually
operated swing gate that will be locked with the key kept in an approved "KNOX.
box, The main entry gate to the comllluuily:off of Swinton Ave, will be operable
via telephone access as per permitted drawings (permit #98-2409),
The development order requests that this emergency access gate be
electronically operated. Our concern with this is that due to the infrequency of
use, that when it is neetlAtl which wouldbeJncase of an emergency it may not be
operable where as with the main entry gates being used everyday a malfunction
would detected and fixed immediately. If this substitution is not acceptable
please indicate such and we will revise our request accordingly, Thank you,
lif, (. h...

feet on either side of wall. We are proposing' to set the wall back 5 feet. The slope would be a
little steeper. but we could accommodate that. A 4 foot berm would necessitate us putting the
wall back at least 12 to 14 feet.
Mayor Taylor asked if the applicant was willing to provide a 3 foot berm, Mr, Kirschner
answered affirmatively,
Vice Mayor Bradley asked about an exit on Seacrest. Mr. Gentry still proposed that it be one
way out for control. This will be a controlled, gated exit.

preserve. a 25 foot buffer and except for Swinton, 35 feet.
Vice Mayor Bradley inquired about one side of the sidewalk. Mayor Taylor had no objection to
this. since we have allowed this in other developments.
Since we are asking for the bigger houses under air, Mayor Taylor was willing to allow the
maximum building height to be 33 feet. Vice Mayor Bradley and Commissioner Jaskiewicz
agreed.

31. Since platting does not require any review by the X
Planning and Development Board, and City
Commission review does not occur until the end,
no opportunity 1S available for the commission to
set land value for purpose of calculating the
recreation fee. Therefore, since this request
involves additional fees to be paid and since the
property was recently sold, it is recommended the
land value be set using the purchase price at the
time of the most recent sale of the PUD property.
This will require the applicant to submit a copy
of their ourchase contract,
32. To show the proper front setback omit the off-set X
shaped buildable area shown at the front of lots
24 and 30. The front setback extends across the
entire front of the lot at a distance of 21 feet
from the front orooertv line,
33. Check the scale (I" to 40' ) of the distance X
between the rear of the buildable area of the
buildings in block 2 and the rear property line.
The setback chart indicates this distance to be
41. 5 feet, however the space scales approximately .
37.5 feet.
34, The plans identify area A, C, D and E as tracts, X
however the plans show these areas with a symbol
that is generally used to represent an easement,
Correct this believed contradiction. Even though
the home owners' documents includes language to
eliminate improvements in these easements,
installation of fences with signs around the tree
preserve easement and deed restrictions that
restrict lot owners from making improvements in
the easements, it is believed that these areas do
not qualify as easements, Restore areas C&D as
tracts owned and maintained by the homeowners'
association.
35, Show on the plan a fence with access gates X
encompassing the tree preservation areas. The
location of the fence shall be within the
boundary of the preservation areas and the type
and height of fence shall be delineated on the
plan. It is recommended that the access gates be
off-set from the private right-of-way to allow an
area for a vehicle without blocking the right-of-
