_ <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> 100 HAYES BUILDING,GLEN LENNOX CENTER,CHAPEL HILL <br /> P.0 BOX 2896,CHAPEL HILL,NORTH CAROLINA 27514 (919)9. 67,7079 <br /> October 9, 1981 <br /> Mr. Rick Cannity, Planner <br /> Orange County Planning Department <br /> 106 East margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> RE: The Timbers Mobile Home Park <br /> CFS 8101 <br /> Dear Mr. Cannitys <br /> In response to your letter of October 8, we have revised our plan of The <br /> Timbers Mobile Home Park. We enclose 18 prints of the revised site plan, <br /> and I offer the following specific comments: <br /> -The scale has been enlarged to 1"=40 Ft., which I think makes the site <br /> plan more readable. <br /> -We have supplied the ratio information in the manner you had requested. <br /> -We have revised the site plan somewhat, to fit the topography better. -The density is slightly less than it was before; we now have 79 mdbile <br /> home sites where before we had 86. And instead of showing the mobile <br /> homes as being aligned in a rectangular format, we have shown them <br /> aligned with the contours, which provides some variation in their <br /> placement of the site, <br /> -We show the size of the swimming pool, the water line and a fence around <br /> it. No bath house is proposed, nor is parking at the pool. The people <br /> who are authorized to use the pool have their own residences within a <br /> few hundred feet of the pool, and we feel that a bath house and parking <br /> would facilitate use by nonauthorized perSons. <br /> -Road names will be supplied for your approval, and the Orange County <br /> standard signs will be provided. <br /> -The building to building separations average about 28 feet. We under- <br /> - <br /> a variance on the separations. <br /> -An erosion control plan is provided. <br /> -We remain of the opinion that two dumpsters should be adequate. The guide- <br /> lines we use are one dumpster per 30-40 units. With 79 units, we are at <br /> the top end of that range, but the dumping schedule (twice a week, initially) <br /> can be increased if necessary. <br /> -A landscaping plan is shown on the site plan. The basic concept is to have <br /> 44 Ft. wide paved street, grass on the shoulders and a shallow swale, and <br /> most of the remaining area natural. For an area 3 or 5 Ft. out from each <br /> mobile home there will be pine bark mulch, and some shrubbery planted <br /> around each entrance. Additional shrubbery will be planted to form a short <br /> . <br />
