Dear Ms. Hitchcock:
Enclosed with this letter are several items relating to a previous PIP site plan submittal from
Chadwick Estates HOA:
• Completed PIP application
• Four revised facility layout plans
• Sealed irrigation plan
• Indemnity and easement agreement from abutting fee owner
I am also including an explanation for changes to the PIP site plan. Our original site plan showed
new fencing (brick column with wood panels) and landscaping along about 1000' of Woodcreek
Drive, as well as a gateway entrance sign in our phase of Woodcreek. Since the time of our
original submittal (Summer 2005), the homeowners have voiced their desire to proceed in
smaller phases. Thus, the site plans we are submitting include only theag teway entrance sign.
The only change to the gateway sign from the previous submittal is that its design has been
modified to sit entirely within the property of 9301 Weslayan and adjoining public right-of-
way—the previous plan had a portion of the raised planter on the property of 1404 Essex Green.
In a conversation with Alan Gibbs in November 2005, he indicated that a $400 cash/surety bond
would be required for the full fence/landscape project. However, we have significantly scaled
back our improvements, and I was unsure if this bond was still required. Please inform me what
bond is required for this scaled-back project (entrance gateway sign only).
Also, I am sending a copy of this letter to Ms. Kate Elrod, who we have been working with on a
entrance gateway grant. Previous conversations with Ms. Elrod have indicated that the City
could be willing to contribute matching money for construction of these improvements. We look
forward to getting these plans approved so that we can begin our neighborhood beautification.
If you have any questions about this submittal, please call me at work at 845-8829.

Dear Ms. Prochazka:
C)j
Enclosed with this letter are several items as required for the PIP resubmittal from Chadwick
Estates HOA:
• Four revised facility layout plans
• Cost estimate — see response below.
• Electrical Plan — see response below, we are not proposing sign lighting.
Allow me to respond directly to the "Staff Review Comments No. 2":
r
v rThe application identifies 'Shawn Turner' (and not the Chadwick HOA) as the party
responsible for maintenance. Is this correct?
The application was incorrect. The Chadwick HOA will be the party responsible for maintenance.
The maximum sign height for an Area Identification sign is 4', measured from the curb
height. Please provide height of sign.
The height of the sign will be 4 feet as measured from the foundation beam. The ground slopes
downward from the curb at this location, so a 4 ft sign height measured from the curb would
likely result in a sign that is S to 6 ft. high.
The maximum area of an Area Identification sign is 16 square feet. Please provide area of
sign.
The area of our proposed sign is 8 square feet: 2 ft high by 4 ft wide.
Is sign lighting proposed?
No additional sign lighting is proposed beyond ambient street lighting. This is consistent with
other neighborhood signs in Woodcreek.
5. Please provide property / right-of-way line location.
6. Please show easement locations in this area.
Property and easement lines have been added to the facility layout plans.

7. In response to your question related to the cash / surety bond requirement, please provide an
estimate of the cost to remove the portion of the improvements that are in the right-of-way
for staff to review.
The initial cash/surety bond estimate was $400 for approximately 1, 000 linear feet of
landscaping and the raised planter box/gateway sign. For only the raised planter box/gateway
sign, we propose a cash/surety bond of $100.
8. FYI: The indemnification is under review by our Legal Department.
The City's legal department took 6 months to prepare this in 2005. 1 hope their language is still
satisfactory with them.
If you have any questions about this submittal, please call me at work at 845-8829. Further
comments or approval of the PIP submittal may be sent to me at s-turner@cox-intemet.com.
