Spence & Lyn Dickinson Deer Ridge Development • 11 324 W. King St - Hillsborough, NC 27278 12/23/93 Orange County Planning Eddie Kirk, Staff RE: Dickinson land/Deer Ridge Development To whom it may concern, I would like to present what I hope is a clear view of Deer Ridge, the land adjacent to Heartwood development. In this description I would like to provide you with the differences between the Heartwood development and Deer Ridge. The $ lots off the extension of Heartwood Drive and Pathway Court will.be developed by a different group than the group that developed Heartwood. The purpose of developing Heartwood as a PUD was to establish the existence of and the approved functions for the "Creative Learning Center". Otherwise, as I understand it, Heartwood could have been developed as a cluster subdivision like Deer Ridge. The road to the seven lots will be an extension of Heartwood Drive and will be a cul de sac built to N.C. public road specifications, so it can be taken over by the state. The remaining lot will be accessed by the private road, Pathway Court. Pathway Court already has a road maintenance agreement that includes all the lots served. • The water system is a community water system and is operated and managed under the approval of state guidelines and specifications. Each house at Heartwood was designed and built by the same architect and builder. People who buy at Deer Ridge will not be required to do this. The developers will require approval of each site plan and the design of each house. John Hartley, the designer and builder of the Heartwood homes, has offered a free custom design to anyone who chooses him as their builder at Deer Ridge. This is being done to allow more choice for Deer Ridge residents, allow for more competitive bidding to occur, and a hope that some people who couldn't afford to live at Heartwood can afford to live at Deer Ridge.
