' <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 wouid.pasgon in-offering more affordable housing of which-there is a need <br /> ' is 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 /> • <br /> - ' <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.

We request ' <br /> that the bond/letter of credit .for development costs be for no more than <br /> • <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 /> • <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 tnanagers..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 t <br /> which will offer Orange County more than just another development. <br /> r . . <br /> It <br /> Respectfully subani •t d1. , <br /> 4- 1.44! . /C- C .�0 ,, <br /> Spebce H.
