<br /> Our goal is to create a community that is as self-sustainable as possible. We will implement thoughtful
<br /> building practices, minimal grading and land disturbance, solar energy, rainwater collection, and a
<br /> landscape design that focuses on producing food and useful products for the community. We are proposing
<br /> Thirty-Eight lots, each lot will range from 2 to 5 acres. Each lot will have an individual well and septic
<br /> system, ensuring that residents have an independent water supply and waste management system that is
<br /> tailored to their specific needs. We will identify the most productive portions of existing fields, pastures, and
<br /> cropland, and locate building lots on less productive land. We plan to build efficient, smart homes,
<br /> sustainably built using the best quality materials. With options to build accessory dwelling units, we are
<br /> seeking attainable housing, and a mixed-income, diverse community. In this Flexible Development, each
<br /> Homestead will be located within a short walk of shared green space.
<br /> Eden View Acres will provide residents with an array of exceptional amenities to enhance their daily life.
<br /> The Food Forest trail will wind around the farmland fields and by the houses bringing everyone closer
<br /> together. Educational stations along the way will inspire learning and creativity in nature. There are two
<br /> ponds teaming with birds and fish that will provide an excellent source of outdoor recreation. The pavilion
<br /> will serve as a central gathering spot, where community members can come together for classes, and
<br /> events, or simply to relax and recharge in the tranquil surroundings. Additionally, the development will
<br /> include two large open spaces or parks for shared use, providing ample opportunities for residents to enjoy
<br /> the outdoors. Eighty percent of the home sites will offer stunning views of the surrounding pastures from the
<br /> edge the forest, while the other 20 percent will be nestled further into the forest, offering an emphasis on
<br /> being one with nature and minimal footprints. These forested lots will be perfect for those who want to feel
<br /> connected to the forest and all the natural beauty it provides. While those on the edge of the forest while
<br /> looking over the meadows, will enjoy the tranquility of the long view over the pastures that have been
<br /> grazing cattle for over two centuries. The community's character will flow effortlessly into the nearby farms
<br /> and communities, creating a sense of unity and belonging. Eden View Acres will be an exceptional place to
<br /> live, work, and play, with amenities and surroundings that promote a healthy, sustainable, and fulfilling
<br /> lifestyle.
<br /> Eden View Acres will host three parks, all connected by a walking trail that will wind around the forest and
<br /> into the farmland fields. The trails will be landscaped using native edible species, providing a maturing food
<br /> forest for the community. There will be educational stations along the way, designed to inspire learning and
<br /> creativity in nature. Community is paramount to Eden View Acres, and we will collaborate with local groups
<br /> focusing on education in nature.
<br /> The park located in the center of the neighborhood will be a hub of outdoor activity and natural fun.
<br /> Designed with an eye toward sustainability and fitness, it will feature natural climbing structures, rope
<br /> swings, and slides built into the surrounding hills. These features will provide an exciting and challenging
<br /> environment for kids and adults alike to explore and test their limits. Additionally, the park will include a
<br /> natural playground, designed to encourage imaginative play and creativity in all ages. The playground will
<br /> feature materials such as logs, stumps, and boulders, and will be arranged in a way that promotes social
<br /> interaction and exploration. With these unique features, the park will be a wonderful place for residents to
<br /> connect with nature and stay active in a fun and engaging way.
<br /> At Eden View Acres, we are committed to adhering to the principles of the Orange County Comprehensive
<br /> Plan. Our development plan takes into account the prime view sheds, such as those visible from Orange
<br /> Grove Road. To preserve the natural beauty of the area, we have chosen to locate our active farm off
<br /> Orange Grove Road, making our neighborhood's entrance off Dairyland. This decision ensures that the
<br /> value of all view sheds is protected, and the land retains its unspoiled charm.
<br /> As we plan the development of Eden View Acres, we are taking great care to protect the beautiful trees that
<br /> already exist on the land. We have identified several mature trees that are particularly stunning and unique.
<br /> We are designing our proposed home sites and roads to work with the landscape to the best of our abilities
<br /> while still meeting the D.O.T. standards for residential roadways. By avoiding areas with large or significant
<br /> trees and choosing a path along ridges and in flatter zones, we will minimize the need for grading and land
<br /> disturbance. In addition, we plan to implement a protective zone around each tree within the primary open
