• <br /> 005 <br /> managing the community building, craft workshops, gardens, lake, and rec- <br /> reational areas.td insure a high level of quality maintenance, safety and <br /> enjoyment of the facilities at Heartwood. <br /> I would like to address the requests made of us regarding several aspects <br /> of our proposed development. Concerning the roads in general, we feel it would <br /> be in the best interest of the residents and the preservation of privacy and <br /> the special environment of Heartwood to build roads to private versus state <br /> standards. To have less right of way means preservation of trees and increased <br /> privacy in• a situation where homes will already be fairly close together. <br /> Any savings in development costs as a result of private versus state roads <br /> we would. pas /on in offering more affordable housing of which-there is a need <br /> in Orange County. <br /> 6D In reference to paving the road to the community building we will be <br /> requesting additional homesites for Heartwood and would prefer to pave road <br /> at that time. Traffic use on the road to the community building would be <br /> light until later development occured. . - ' <br /> 6C Regarding the requirement of including a cul du sac after the parking .. <br /> area at the community building, we feel the nature of the facility being <br /> private and small would not require another turn around for fire and safety. <br /> We have designed parking area with turn around and safety in mind. There <br /> would be an access road to kitchen area of the community building for closer <br /> access. Again, the cost of a cul du sac adds considerable expense especially <br /> if paved to the small number of homes now under approval. <br /> • <br /> 13 We would like to defer final landscaping plans for the community building <br /> and adjacent parking area until future submittal of application for community <br /> building permit because building plans are not final at this time. <br /> 1 In reference to the bonding of the project road and utility costs we are <br /> submitting a letter of Heartwood's phases and development costs. We request <br /> that the bond/letter of credit for development costs be for no more than <br /> cost plus 10 % to cover each phases, one at a. time. <br /> SC Regarding septic, we request approval for the addition of adjacent ease- <br /> ments for the septic where lot won't allow for nearby nitrification line and <br /> repair area. At this time there are only 4 lots in need of easements and <br /> areas have been approved by the Orange County Health Department. <br /> Blackwood Station is a very special part of Orange County. :As _ residents <br /> of this area since 1970 and as owners of Sunrise Farmers Market we present as <br /> an indication of our personal commitment to Orange County and its residents a <br /> development called Heartwood. We wanted to offer our community our service <br /> so we opened Sunrise in which we are active owners and managers...We are very <br /> excited about Heartwood not just because it is our home but because we feel <br /> Heartwood as it is envisioned will be a very worthy addition tb this community and one- <br /> which will offer Orange County more than just another development. <br /> Respectfully submi dd. , <br /> Spence M.
