lqn <br /> Attachment 2 <br /> space that will prevent construction equipment and materials from damaging the tree's root system or trunk. <br /> All significant trees and natural features in the primary open spaces will be prioritized for protection. We <br /> plan to protect all substantial trees on any lot. We have also designed a plan to be implemented for the <br /> protection of natural features, including shared viewsheds of secondary open spaces will be preserved <br /> through careful management. Our goal is not only to preserve the natural beauty of the area but also to <br /> ensure that this land continues to thrive and mature for generations to come. <br /> Our plan also includes the creation of a food trail, where edible plants, shrubs, and trees will be grown <br /> together in a way that mimics the natural ecosystems of the area. This approach will help to provide food <br /> and useful products for the community while also promoting soil health, reducing erosion, and providing <br /> habitats for wildlife. We will also be incorporating pollinator-friendly plants into the landscaping plan, which <br /> will support the local bee population and other beneficial insects. The plants we choose will provide food, <br /> shelter, and nesting sites for these important species, promoting a healthy and diverse ecosystem. <br /> In addition to the landscaping plan, we are also designing our roads and buildings to minimize our impact <br /> on the land. Our roadways will be designed to work with the existing terrain and will be built in a way that <br /> minimizes the amount of grading and land disturbance necessary. The roadways within Eden View will be <br /> built to D.O.T standards in order to be turned over to the state for maintenance. The roads will be <br /> professionally engineered to have minimal impact on the existing pastures, cropland, feedlots, and similar <br /> uses. <br /> Our development will consider the importance of preserving the scenic views and vistas of the area, <br /> particularly as seen from public roadways. To this end, we will prioritize leaving these views unblocked or <br /> uninterrupted. We will add to the existing landscape when needed using locally found species to create a <br /> natural visual buffer. These buffers will ensure views from the road are preserved for generations to come. <br /> In addition, we will be using the local flora found on the site as a visual screen and planting more trees will <br /> be used as a visual screen to provide privacy. We will plant Maple, Cedar, Oaks, and other trees that are <br /> already flourishing in the area to ensure that our design blends in with the existing natural landscape. Our <br /> goal is to create a community that harmonizes with the environment while providing residents with a <br /> sustainable, healthy, and beautiful place to call home. <br /> The road will be designed to provide internal access to all lots in the subdivision. Private driveways shall <br /> access existing state-maintained roads only via subdivision roads providing internal access to lots in the <br /> subdivision. Building lots will mostly be located in forested areas away from existing pastures croplands. <br /> When possible, the homes will be built within the wooded areas, preserving the view sheds, and maximizing <br /> privacy, while maintaining the concept of a shared open space. <br /> Two beautiful ponds will be Preserved and nourished as part of the community's commitment to preserving <br /> the natural environment. We plan to redesign them using permaculture principles, ensuring their longevity <br /> and supporting the surrounding ecosystem. The ponds will be enhanced with a variety of trees, including <br /> Willows, Cypresses, and Red Maples, which will provide shade and habitat for a variety of species. We will <br /> also plant aquatic vegetation, such as Duckweed and Water lilies, which will oxygenate the water and <br /> create a healthy environment for fish and other aquatic life. In addition, we will incorporate native shrubs <br /> and flowers, such as Elderberry and Bee balm, to support pollinators and provide food and shelter for <br /> wildlife. By employing permaculture practices, the ponds will not only be beautiful and enjoyable for <br /> residents but will also serve as an important resource for the local ecosystem. <br /> The neighborhood's pavilion will serve as a gathering spot for the community, providing an ideal venue for <br /> hosting classes and community events. It will be a place of learning, teaching, studying, and growing, where <br /> individuals can come together and engage in meaningful discussions and activities. With its beautiful <br /> surroundings and peaceful atmosphere, the pavilion will be the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee <br /> or a glass of wine in the evening. Additionally, with the blazing-fast fiber internet, the pavilion will offer <br /> multiple places to work independently and efficiently, allowing residents to work and play in a comfortable <br /> and conducive environment. The pavilion will be constructed using classic timber framing techniques, <br /> 5 <br />
