2 `~ <br />Ms. Raren Lincoln <br />Orange County Planning <br />June 3, 1999 <br />Page 2 <br />Department <br />encroachment into the areas set aside for open space, flood plain <br />use, or the stream buffer. <br />Following rejection of this plan by the County Commissioners, <br />my clients have reevaluated the septic proposal. The revised <br />proposal we are submitting for your consideration and review, and <br />for action by the Commissioners, now contains eighteen Lots <br />utilizing regular conventional septic systems and only seven lots <br />utilizing the innovative systems. .These seven are Lots 3, 4, 5, <br />il, 12, 15 and 16. This revised proposal meets all the <br />requirements of the Health Department, and each of the lots has <br />been approved for a permit in accordance with this plan. <br />My clients plan to have wooden fencing along the two entrances <br />off of _Mooresfield Road, and similar fencing at .the corner ,of <br />Dimmocks Mill Road and running the entire length of Dimmocks Mill <br />Road. One of the owners, Mr. Evans, lives immediately across <br />Dimmocks Mill Road on the east side of the property. He plans to <br />construct additional wooden fencing along the length of his <br />property and his neighbors' in order to make the entire area more <br />attractive. <br />As reflected on the .proposed plan, my clients will plant <br />trees along the Dimmocks Mill boundary, portions of the Mooresfield <br />Road boundary, and in the interior to provide additional <br />landscaping amenities. Each of the trees will be at least six feet <br />high and will comply fully with the requirements of the zoning <br />ordinance. The plan further provides. for the construction of a <br />six-foot high berm along approximately 220 feet of the open space <br />area off Mooresfield Road to provide a visual screen for the <br />development. <br />My clients are very pleased with the revised-proposal. Each <br />of the single-family residences will be a three-bedroom residence. <br />It is anticipated that the sales prices for each lot, once the <br />residence is constructed, will be between $240,000 and $280,000. <br />I have reviewed the applicable ;~ <br />zoning ordinance, and have met with <br />the proposed development. It is my o~ <br />revised meets each of the criteria s <br />that my clients are entitled to have <br />County Commissioners. I welcome the <br />or other members of the Orange County <br />concerns you may have. <br />rortions of the Orange County <br />Mr. Geoff Gledhill to review <br />inion that the development as <br />:t forth in the ordinance and <br />this proposal approved by the <br />opportunity to meet with you <br />planning staff to address any <br />
