Instead of doing a stone patio like it looks like on your plan, have you thought of laying clean drain rock in the area closest to your house (say 20 feet or so) and doing an elevated wooden patio? That way you could position some french drains underneath as well. I'd be afraid of doing any hardscaping in an area that is lower than someone elses, drainage or not. Then, assuming that your lot slopes to the rearyard at some acceptable pitch, you could lay your stonework. (hope I explained that right).
