038 <br /> RAM'S Woods Cluster Development Subdivision <br /> RAM'S Woods Cluster Development Subdivision is located on 15 acres in <br /> a rural area of Chapel Hill Township Orange County North Carolina. Common <br /> areas are 46 percent of the total acreage. The immediate vicinity <br /> consists of undeveloped areas and single family homes, most of which are <br /> built on tracts of one acre or more. On the east RAM'S Woods abuts the <br /> Crossroads Baptist Church Cemetary and state road 1131. To the south is a <br /> Duke Power right of way and the property of Florence Garland (undeveloped) . <br /> The property of Jesse House (undeveloped) borders the west boundary of <br /> RAM'S Woods. Reddy Woods subdivision lies along the north boundary of the <br /> proposed cluster housing subdivision. Nine of the ten lots in Reddy Woods <br /> subdivision are owned by James J. Collins and Rebecca A. , McDiarmid--the <br /> applicants for approval of the cluster development that is the subject of <br /> this application. Mr. Collins and Ms.McDiarmid have lived on lot 8 of <br /> Reddy Woods since 1979 and plan to continue to reside there. They are <br /> therefore interested in maintaining the quality and stability of the area <br /> for single family middle and upper middle class housing. <br /> SUBDIVISION COVENANTS <br /> A master covenants agreement will be drawn up and recorded <br /> simultaneously with the subdivision plat. This document will spell out the <br /> subdivision restrictions and it will detail the obligations of lot owners <br /> for the maintenance of the road, the nitrification fields, the developed <br /> recreational areas, and other subdivision common areas. Each lot owner <br /> will be obligated to participate in costs of maintaining the road, the <br /> developed recreational areas, and other common areas. The lot 7 owner will <br /> be excused from maintenance of the nitrification fields because that lot <br /> will employ a gravity flow waste water system entirely within the <br /> boundaries of that lot. <br /> Additional land use limitations are indicated on the Preliminary Plan <br /> and are discussed later in this document. <br />
