Re: High Ridge Subdivision
CH Project #040910
Dear Ed:
The following items should explain changes that were made to the approved Site
Plan for this project. Following a meeting held in your offices on September 20,
2006, I revised several portions of the Site and Landscape Plans.
1. The approved Site Plan contained approximately 400 linear feet of seawall
on the west side of the recreational area. The seawall requires tiebacks
that extend 16' to the east. On the approved Site Plan, the pool was 14'
from the seawall. The revised Site Plan now shows the pool 26' from the
seawall and 2' south from its original position.
2. The pool cabana moved north 5' to accommodate the relocation of the
pool.
3. The tot lot decreased in size approximately 350 SF to accommodate
separation from the pool. The lot is 450 SF total and will be of adequate
size to accommodate playground equipment for the subdivision.
4. The pool deck and overlook area was changed from decorative pavers to
scored concrete.
5. I revised the walkway that borders the seawall to accommodate
pedestrian movement throughout the recreational area. The original plan
required that pedestrian's transit through two gates in order to walk from
one end to the other.
6. The approved Site Plan contained decorative paver driveways for both
single family and multi-family lots. I have revised the Site Plan and the
Typical Unit Site Plans to show scored concrete driveways with decorative
paver medallions.

7. In response to comments received from Palm Beach County Engineering,
the landscape plan was revised to remove canopy trees and palm trees
from the areas in the High Ridge Right of Way where exfiltration trenches
were located. All of the approved trees were relocated a few feet to the
west of the sidewalk alongside two townhome units with the exception of
the following. Nine (9) Seagrape trees were relocated to the west buffer.
Four (4) Royal Palms were relocated to the pool area.
8. The landscape quantities, shown on page 16, were revised. It now
contains two additional columns. One column contains the landscape
quantities that match the approved graphical Landscape Plans. The
second column shows the difference in quantities between the approved
plans and the revised plans.
9. The Littoral Plan was revised to show the new recreational area. The
cross section was revised to show the correct control elevation.
10. The Lake Management Plan was revised to show the correct control
elevation.
Thank you for the opportunity to address these comments. If you have any
questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at (561) 747-6336.
