The site plan proposes a significant new wetland area in the southwest comer of the site. The plan provides about 2 acres of new wetlands, open ponds, plus class 1 and 2 fringe areas. The wetlands will ser\ e a dual purpx)se: storm water retention, improving the historical drainage pattern, and creation of wetlands from pasture kmd. VVe belies e the proposed improvement will benefit the community, tlie new lots and die environment. Homeowners Association and Other Items The tw’o sites will have separate homeowner associations for limited maintenance, architectural review and oUier legiil responsibilities. The private covenants for each site will provide the standards for each neighborhood. At our neighborhood meeting 1/11/94 we discovered that the Dickey property, except the existing home, wns part of Lite Countiy side Manor Covenants and Restrictions. VVe will be working with Countryside Manor's representatives to work out tlie best way to handle this question. As part of the development we will prepare a plan for landscaping, berming and entrance signage along Old Crystal Bay Road. Watertown Road and Willow Drive. We believe that this is best accomplished during construction so the trail along Old Crystal Bay Road is worked into landscaping, septic sites and berming. Likewise, Watertown Road and Willow have some trees and wetlands to work with. The entrance teatment at each street will identify the neighborhood and set a quality image. Conclusion Tandem Properties and Peter Andrea Company are pleased to submit our plans for the Coffin and Dickey properties. Wo hope tliat we will be as good stewards of tlie land as the Coffin and Dickey families have been these many years. The sites will certainly change from picturesque rural farm land to high quality single family neighborhoods, a change that we believe will benefit the City of Orono.
