J. PELOQUIN CONS'1 KUCTION, INC. Building & Development Company ~ (D <br />April 14, 2008 <br />To: Planning Staff, Planning Boazd, County Commissioners <br />Ref: Cabe Crossing <br />Bramco Tract tax maps: 5.23..45, 5.24..1A <br />Attn: Glenn Bowles, Planner <br />Orange County, NC <br />Hello All, <br />As you realize, we have submitted the preliminary plan of Cabe Crossing with only 20 <br />lots as opposed to the 33 lots previously approved by the concept plan. <br />We have decided to proceed with far fewer lots for preliminary plan acceptance and <br />would like to summarize some very important considerations which the final plat will <br />have incorporated. <br />1. While the planning staff and Board had approved what we considered a viable <br />plat for concept review, and it had been approved as such, we have adjusted the <br />quantity of lots to reflect the request of the planning boazd in respect to the <br />petition by the neighbors. This reflects a 250% increase in lot size averages for <br />the property as currently zoned. Originally we had been planning 46 lots in all. <br />2. Current standards and review by the DOT allowed a much denser development <br />with no required improvements to either Cabe Ford rd. or the intersection of <br />Pleasant Green in order to be accepted by the DOT for inclusion into the state <br />system after completion. <br />3. A major consideration by the public at large and the neighbors of this project is <br />the concern for water resources. We aze actively engaged with the research and <br />drafting of items to be included in the covenants which represent bona-fide <br />methods of water conservation and "Green" techniques which will be required in <br />the design, construction, and use of the proposed homes in this community. We <br />hope to engage the efforts of the County Health Dept., Green Building Standards <br />of the Home Builders Association, and other recognized agencies to compile a <br />common sense list of such techniques and supporting language. Investigation <br />into well reports furnished by the O.C. Enviromental Health dept. has produced <br />no abnormal failures on drilled wells currently accepted by the county and no <br />concerns for the future of existing or new wells once build out is complete. <br />1020 Vista Wood Drive, Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br />e-mail Peloguin(cr~.mindspring.com <br />919-732-7554 fax at 919-732-4704 <br />
