THE JOHN R. McADAMS CO~ANY, INC. Orange County Board of Commissioners September 28, 1998 Page ~ Seven different home styles, most with Qarages, will be offered in Lawrence Park. The range of size will be between 1,200 square feet and 1,70 square feet. It is expected that the average size based upon the selected distribution of styles will be 1,»0 square feet. Homes will be set back 20 feet from the front property line. The average value of homes is expected to be $ 132,000. Based upon a development schedule that would permit construction to start in the spring of 1999, the following schedule of constructed and sold homes is expected. Year Sales 1999 1 ~ homes sold 2000 60 homes sold 2001 60 homes sold 2002 60 homes sold 2003 50 homes sold Open Space The PDH-R-3 plan provides for 25.87 acres of open space. This amounts to 30.8% of the site. Open space will be owned and maintained by a homeowners associa- tion. The 2.87 acres includes the following components: ,~ 1) A 100 feet wide perimeter buffer is provided around the:~DH-R-3 site. In lo- cations where there is no existing vegetation within th~~100 feet buffer, two forms of plantings are proposed. In the 25 feet immediately adjoining the proposed lots, a double row of staggered Virginia Pines are proposed. This vegetation will mature rapidly and quickly provide a 'visual buffer to sur- rounding lots. In the remaining 7~ feet of the buffer, a mixture of native forest vegetation would be planted and allowed to mature in a fashion which will permit the development of a more natural visual landscape, not an ornamental style buffer. 23 2) The site has 7.17 acres of private recreation area that will be maintained by the homeowners association. This amounts to 8.~% of the PDH-R-3 site. (The minimum required recreation is 7.7%.) Recreation areas include a tot lot and a pocket pazk with benches and game tables in Phase I.
