6919. Lee St. 19 <br /> Mebane, NC 27302 <br /> 9-30-94 <br /> Ms. Emily Cameron <br /> Orange County Planning Dept. <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 9-30- 94 <br /> Dear Emily: <br /> As we discussed on the phone yesterday, I would like to apply for a <br /> variance to the landscape ordinance in order to accomplish a plan that is <br /> more in keeping with a "planned community" of lots (as opposed to a <br /> subdivision of individual lots that just happen to be adjacent). <br /> For Hannah Creek, we would like to use the trees we are supposed to plant <br /> as street trees (instead of along the borders of the open lots) . This <br /> means taking the total number of trees and placing all of them (or nearly <br /> all, as agreed upon) along the front of the lots, and it means placing them <br /> in the street right-of-way, rather than set back from the street. <br /> We need to plant in the right-of-way so that the trees will be close <br /> enough together to eventually make a canopy across the road, and so that <br /> we can install Chapel Hill grit sidewalks in the right-of-way (when <br /> possible), as well. <br /> I took pictures of several residential streets in Chapel Hill (such as North <br /> and Rosemary streets)* and measured the widths of the streets, shoulders <br /> and sidewalks, and their relationships to each other. I have also measured <br /> the distance between trees, which is between 50' and 100'. We want to <br /> plant our trees (willow oaks) between 50' and 75' apart (as deemed <br /> necessary) along both sides of the street, wherever the land is open. <br /> I have sketched a section of what I am proposing, and hope it is clear. <br /> Thanks for your help, and I wish you the best in "your new endeavor!" (Call <br /> me if you need something.) <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ann Moss Joy? <br /> P.S. Of course, we will not be installing curb and gutter, and we will have <br /> grass between the road and sidewalk. <br />
