Questions:
What will the price range of the homes be?
A) Close to the home prices in Cambridge Place; $600,00+
How big will the homes be?
A) Not quite sure yet. Probably a minimum of 4,000 square feet.
What builders have you lined up for this development?
A) We have some that expressed interest in this development, but no
commitments.
What type of entry amenities are you putting in?
A) Stone entry with lights on each pillar; I'm not planning on a water feature, but
the entry will be heavily landscaped.
Would you consider making the lots bigger if the neighbors supported your quest for a
variance against the stub out?
A) I can't make this project work if I have to take a lot or two out to make the
other lots bigger. Not to mention that I have already made a 35,000+ sf lot
back to Woodland Height and set aside another 3 5,000+ sf for open space.
Would you consider doing /z acre lots?
A) That would not make sense with this proposal; the recommended zoning for
the area is SF -20 and that is what we are seeking. I'd prefer to make this a
commercial development to make more money, but I can not get that
approved. I could have tried to make it a commercial development and make
more money. However, having lived next door to (and having 3 kids going
to) the schools, I thought it would make a great residential development.
What will the lighting be in this development?
A) Antique street lights as opposed to regular traffic street lights.
I've always been one that did not like straight streets /roads in residential neighborhoods.
Have you thought about doing something different than a straight street?
A) It makes it difficult to do anything other than a straight street, because of the
narrowness of the property.
How will this development be maintained?
A) There will be a Home Owners Association.
Comments:
We are doing exactly what the city has asked us to do in directing the drainage.
