SUPPLEMENT TO "THE WOODS" NARRATIVE 098 <br />"The Woods" a Planned Development Mobile Home Park shall consist of 54 <br />mobile homes on individual lots of approximately 5000 square feet. The mobile <br />homes will be placed on permanent pads of 4 inch crushed stone and set up in <br />accordance with standards in the State of North Carolina Regulations for <br />Mobile Homes and Modular Housing. All mobile home foundations will be enclosed <br />with vinyl skirting installed within 90 days from placement on lot. Mobile <br />homes must also have a 10 x 1O.deck meeting North Carolina Building Code <br />within same time period. No other detached structures will be allowed on <br />mobile home lot. All mobile homes will be numbered in accordance with the equal <br />interval numbering system employed by Orange County Planning Department. <br />Numbers will be made of reflective materials at least 6 inches in height <br />and affixed 6 feet or more from ground level. All lots and surrounding <br />buffer area is to be left in a natural state in order to provide natural <br />screening as required in Plan B Buffer Standards. <br />Article 7.20 -1 PD -MHP District's Definition and Intent states adequate <br />housing is fundamental to the welfare of county residents; however, conventional <br />housing is not consistently affordable to, nor appropiate for, all members <br />of the general public. Where properly regulated and located, mobile home <br />parks address the public need for alternative housing and achieve a satisfactory <br />relationship to adjoining and nearby property. <br />"The Woods" would be located between I -40 and Woodsedge PD -MHP and <br />a heavily wooded area to the north and south with double wide and modulars <br />located on its boundaries. This location puts, it in direct relationship <br />with the adjoining property thus maintaining a continuous value of adjoining <br />property. <br />The Woods MHP would provide affordable housing to Orange County residents <br />who cannot afford conventional homes; thus, promoting the health, safety and <br />general welfare of the general public. I feel "The Woods" is in compliance <br />with the general plan for the physical development of the county by providing <br />affordable homes for its citizens, good living conditions and being planned <br />so as to minimize any disturbances to our natural environment. <br />E <br />0 <br />
