"Gentlemen:
Planned Development Project known as Parkland, which development has
been previously approved by your Honorable Body.
As approved at that time, the project consisted of a mixed develop-
ment of commercial, multi-family and single family uses under one owner-
of the Parkland Project. In reviewing the understandings and commit-
ship. Recently, as you know, I have acquired the residential portion
ments arrived at in the original approval, I believe it to be in the
best interest of both the municipality and ourselves to re-examine them
ify certain conditions which appear to me to be indefinite at the moment.
in light of the division of ownership which now exists and also to clar-
c,
This is being submitted to you with reference to that certain
- Division of Responsibility Between Commercial and Residential Lands
It is understood that the commercial and residential ownerships
must be responsible each for its own on-site improvements. The only
instance which will require joint responsibility is the entrance rodd
running north from Highway 24, and in this case, the owners must share
by them on this segment of the road. I naturally expect to construct
the cost of the improvements in direct proportion to the frontage owned
lands as this road is vital to my merchandising program.

the commercial site owners would be expected to cooperate fully in
granting easements and paying their proportionate cost.
Furthermore, if drainage easements and facilities are required,

of Parkland should be held solely responsible for compliance with pre-
vious commitments and requirements for the commercial development, just
as I should be held solely responsible for the residential development.
Residential Development

you in 1964 set forth in great detail the basic premise and supporting
data which established Parkland as a practical development, beneficial

can be finalized make it mutually advisable to update the document and
prepared to proceed with site developments as soon as construction plans
clarify certain indefinite issues in line with the site.plan I present
to you herewith.
As you see, this plan concerns itself for the time being with the
area north of Highway 24. In this area I am proposing 117 single family
reapproval of the “Parkland I‘ petition, wherein the Parkland Planned
lots and 96 multiple family units. Therefore on the basis of your
Development Project was approved as 289 units, I assume that I have the
right at sometime in the future to present to you a plan for the area
south of Highway 24 consisting of 36 multiple family units and 40 single
family lots. As to a development time table for the area north of High-
way 24, I assume that I will require 2 to 3 years for completion.
Architectural Control
I plan to establish an Architectural Control Committee, which will
review all plans for house construction. As a widely experienced resi-
dential builder, having a reputation for good design, I am fully aware
home design, and I assure you that the Architectural Control Committee
that the success of this development is primarily dependent on pleasing
will follow this practice faithfully. This committee will remain under
my control as long as I own any lots in Parkland.
I note that your zoning ordinance provides the possibility that I
could be required to submit every house design to your Plan Commission
for approval. I respectfully request that you would permit me to pro-
ceed without this contingency as long as I function under the Architec-
tural Control Committee procedure set forth in the paragraph above.
I fully recognize I must operate within the normal values set forth
for the multi-family buildings will be submitted to your Plan Commission
in Section 6.11 (2) of your zoning ordinance. I assume that my plans
for approval.
Building Setbacks
I undoubtedly will observe, in the case of the houses, a minimum
front setback of 25 feet with minimum side lot setbacks totaling 14
on some cul-de-sac lots, I take some liberties with the six foot minimum
feet with six feet as a minimum on any one side. If, as may be desirable
will there be less than 14 feet between houses. I estimate the sale
side lot, I assure you I will increase the other side so that at no time
prices of the single family lots will range between $6,000 and $7500.

Maintenance of Park Areas
I recognize that the common park areas must be properly maintained
at all times and therefore would hope that the City would take over
ownership and maintenance of these areas on abasiswhereby the costs
incurred by the City would be assessed proportionately against all
property owners in the development. If this is impossible, I will

by you. Undoubtedly, there are still details which remain to be agreed
upon in the future and I assure you of my full cooperation. I respect-

possible time.
I hope that I have expressed herein my intention to abide by the
