These homes are proposed to be approximately 1800-2000 square feet on the main level with smaller finished aiea on the second level, and finishable area in the walkout low'er level, and three car attached garages. The plan would be to build on lot 3 in 1998 while living in the existing house until the new one was complete, the existing home would be removed along with the existing detached garage within 24 months, prior to any construction beginning on either lot 1 or lot 2. Applicant proposes to either grant an easement for roadway purposes or dedicate right of way along the southeasterly 42 feet of the property' for the future construction of a roadway to connect with Birch Lane. Applicant further agrees to accept the prorata share of special assessments relative to the cost of constructing this roadway when and if it is built. In the interim the owners shall have the right to construct and maintain a piivatc road/drivcw'ay within this easement area. Applicant does not wish to see a city standard roadway with a temporary cul de-sac at this time for the following reasons: 1) 1 see no need to create so much unnecessary' hardcover area when it will not be used for many years, if at all. 2) Would create a potential nuisance to the neighborhood as it would attract boat/trailer parking and turnaround traffic. 3) Would not conform to the style and feel of the existing neigliborhood. 4) Wculd require public maintenance , which would be an unnecessary City' expense. Applicant requests City approval to subdivide the property along the above referenced guidelines. ^—Sijwerely, ^^ames Render I TOTAL P.02
