Mr. Rick cannity October 9, 1981 Page 2 hedge between the trailer sites. A stepping stone Walk Will go from the street to the entrance, with pine bark mulch around the atones. Skirting will be required on every mobile home. The road and the land- scaping are designed so that the mobile homes can be moved in or out of the site without disturbance to the site. The basic landscaping is designed for low maintenance, although the tenants will be allowed to enhance their own landscaping. -The applicant is going to provide you with the $490-00 submittal fee. We are aware that the planning staff's opinion is that the project does not provide enough screening either internally or on the perimeter. Our opinion is different. The interest is to provide a clean, well-constructed and well- managed mobile home park for a low cost. The proposed rental rate is $50.00 per month. There is a great demand for this type of housing. But if the density is decreased, the cost of land and improvements associated with each individual site increases in inverse proportion. The reduced building to building set- backs we propose do not pose a public health or safety problem; the greater density affects only the visual impact of the project, which is an aspect that a prospective tenant can take into account and accept for himself. As far as impact on adjoining property is concerned, the site is largely bordered by interstate highway and the applicant himself. Given that there is high demand for this type of housing,, this appears to be a particularily well-suited site. We thank you for all yourcooperation with us on this project, and we look forward to meeting with the Planning Board on October 12. Sincerely, THE JOHN R McADAMS COMPANY, INC. BY; .4 lor Jo . R.
