Re: Horse Haven Estates Phases Two and Three Preliminary Plat,
Staff Review Comments No. 2
We have noted your comments and made revisions or clarifications as appropriate. The
response to Engineering comments as follows, numbered the same as the original comments:
ZWe now show the Appomattox Drive connection.
2. We are submitting an easement release plat, as I told Spencer upon our original
submission. This plat will cover all the miscellaneous easements to be released, plus the
portion of the Horse Haven Drive cul-de-sac bulb which is being released for extension
of the street.
VWe have re-designated the block.
W. See item 2.
5. Lot 9, ock On will not be built upon until the Kolbe easement is properly relocated. /

12. The utility design will be confirmed by appropriate reports at the time of submission of
the engineering plans. The utility scheme is essentially as it was previously approved,
with the exception of changes necessitated by creating a connecting street in lieu of cul-
de-sacs.
13. We have added a note as requested, to the effect that all structure will be removed at time
of development, with the exception of the Hermann house and associated structures.
14. We have added an appropriate easement.
15. The water line "dead ends" have been clarified. They are in fact the same as previously
approved on the Preliminary Plat dated August 23.
16. We have revised the two triangular areas to be outside the limit of development, as
indicated on the master plan.
17. The triangular area on the south, abutting Lots 8,9,10, 11, 12, and 13 Block Three, has
been removed from the limits of development. This has been at the direction of our client.
If this will create a problem with the review, please let me know.
18. We have added additional callouts for the location of the flood plain line. No lot in
Phases Two or Three lies within the 100 year flood plain. The on-ground location of the
flood plain line is the subdivision boundary, except where otherwise indicated. Again,
this is the same as the previously approved Preliminary Plat.

Re: Horse Haven Estates, Case File # 04-00500234, Preliminary Plat Submission, Memo
dated 12 October 2004
Spencer:
Received your comment that the plat is too busy and confusing to review. The
plat should not require a great deal of Staff time or thought.
We have made only a few changes from the previously approved preliminary plat.
1) We have broken the project into two phases for construction purposes.
2) We have connected the 2 bulb cul-de-sacs to achieve better "connectivity" in the
area behind the existing house.
3) We have moved the lots around a bit- the additional street allows more effective
use of the existing land and we have been able to gain 3 lots.
I am a little concerned that it took 7 working days for you to provide a comment that the
plat is "too confusing" to continue review.
If you have difficulty in reading any document when it contains the items that are
expected, our staff and I are always happy to assist. We will gladly provide blow-ups or
one-on-one meetings to explain any items you find confusing.
000751-c.34 (3775)
I am providing a 1 "=50' drawing with a window exactly like that of the previously
approved plat. We have moved the "easements to be abandoned" to a separate sheet,
which is also included. I trust this will be less confusing and easier to review.
I will call later this afternoon to discuss.
Sincerely,
MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT GROUP
