Orono Property P.U.D. Submittol 5 November 1993 vm. TREE PRESERVATION / MONUMENTATION / SIGNAGE The western and southern portion of the property is wooded, with Oak and Maple being the predominant trees. Ash and Boxelder are found in other areas of the site and in cultivated areas with other woody shrubs. Careful attention has been paid to all of the Oak-Maple woods on the western and southern edge. Our primary goal is to minimize as much tree removal as possible in the development process so that premier wooded home sites would be created. Through careful location of streets, utilities and specific road design considerations, we will be able to preserve about 80% of the trees with site development. Professionally designed and landscaped entrance monument'j and medians will be provided at each entrance to the PUD. The elements of the monument, tion and signage shall be consistent throughout the neighborhood community. The tlrsign team shall take aavantage of the creativity the PUD ordinance allows and develop an identity that blends well widi the namral surroundings. All monumentation shall be owned and maintained by the homeowners association and shall be consistent with the quality monumentation found in other exclusive Lundgren Bros, neighborhood communities. Additional landscaping along perimeter roads will be added where needed to buffer the traffic from the home sites. IX. COVENANTS & HOUSING PRODUCT As in all neighborhood communities created by Lundgren Bros., strict architectural and protective covenants shall be established and recorded to protect the investment of each homeowner and the wetland conservation easements essential to wetland protection. Examples of Lundgren Bros.’ home models have been submitted to the City to show anticipated home construction. These proposed executive homes will be very complimentary to other homes in the area. Additionally, street trees will be planted with each home in combination with tvpical new home landscaping. X. NEIGHBORHOOD RECREATION AREAS Lundgren Bros, proposes to pay the City of Orono s park dedication fee for future park improvements in the community. It is anticipated with a further development of elementary school and other facilities on the school property, immediate recreational needs may be amply met. XL ROAD SYSTEM The overall road system within the property is an interconnecting road from Willow Drive northerly up to Highway 6 intersecting at the far northwest corner, thus giving access to the school property to the west. Two cul-de-sacs are proposed to reach the interior areas of the property to minimize curb cuts on the adjacent roads. A private drive is also proposed for the heavily wooded areas to minimize tree removal.
