We did not receive a copy <br /> of the private road justification, if one was submitted. In our review of the documents we did <br /> receive, we note the following: <br /> 1. Standards for Vernacular Southern Architecture. We did not review and have no <br /> comments on the architectural guidelines as they are not required by the Zoning or Subdivision <br /> Regulations of Orange County.; • <br /> 2. Hannah Creek Covenants. We did not review and have no comment on architectural <br /> requirements or other similar restrictions contained in the covenants. We are unable to determine <br /> whether the language contained in Paragraph 4 of this document restricting the clearing of trees <br /> satisfies the landscaping requirements of Orange County for this particular subdivision. <br /> Paragraph 5 makes reference to a permitted use of certain lots for local commercial <br /> purposes. This reference seems inappropriate since the property is not zoned for local <br /> commercial use. In-home office facilities may or may not be permitted under the Home <br /> Occupations section of the Zoning Ordinance and may be affected by the impervious surface <br /> regulations as well. <br /> Paragraph 6 makes reference to possible further subdivision of lots within Hannah Creek. <br /> We note that further subdivision of these lots may individually or cumulatively affect the <br /> appropriateness of private mad servicing lots within this subdivision. <br /> Paragraph 13 establishes easements for wildlife, walking trails, equestrian riding trails, <br /> and an arboretum and states that they are to remain as private property. It also states that <br /> Hannah Creek,inc. may grant a conservation easement to a non-profit conservation organization, <br /> 1 <br />
