As discussed, the wall is necessitated by earlier field changes made to the grading within Summit Park, which were made in order to enhance the protection of trees within the Park. While the wall is unavoidable given the realities of the final grades within Summit Park, its design is complementary to existing Park improvements and maintains the desired connectivity to the Park. e The Block 22 Site Plan as submitted and approved (and as discussed during the approval process) did not include a retaining wall. This Plan was based on the designed grades for Summit Park, which at the time indicated that no wall was required. During the grading of the Park, we worked with the City to monitor the impact to existing specimen trees and their root structures. Field modifications to the grading were made in certain instances to provide an additional measure of protection to the trees. While these changes achieved the desired end result of tree preservation, they led to a higher than anticipated finished grade at the Park's southern boundary, which in turn resulted in the need for a retaining wall. I Unfortunately, these field changes were not picked up in the final civil drawings for Summit Park, and the need for the wall was not discovered until the grading was underway on the commercial potion of the Block. Once we became aware of the issue, we looked for ways to reduce the wall height as much as possible, consistent with the original design intent. I I 1256 MAIN STREET, SUITE 240, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS 76092 T (817) 329 8400 F (817) 251 8717 May 11, 2007 Page 2 The wall's design is complementary to existing Park improvements, and maintains the desired connectivity between the new East/West Street and Summit Park. The extent of the wall will be limited to the middle 50% of the Block between Summit Avenue and Central Avenue, and will range in height from approximately V to a maximum height of approximately 5'. The wall will be constructed of the same Millsap Stone and "ashler pattern" coursing used throughout Summit Park. To ensure a safe environment is maintained, a wrought iron railing with vertical pickets will be installed on top of the wall, consistent with existing design found elsewhere around the Park (we'll forward a photo for reference on Monday). Please note that west of the retaining wall, consistent with the original design intent, the potential stairway/pathway connection to the Park is still available and is not affected by the wall. I hope you will find the information herein responsive to your request. As always, please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions, or require any additional information. Sincerely, Frank L.
