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 wedands will scrv e a dual purpose: storm water retendon, improving the historical drainage pattern, and creation of wedands from pasture land. We believe the proposed improvement will benefit the community, the new lots and the environment. Homeowners Association and Other Items The two sites will have separate homeowner associations for limited maintenance, architectural review and other legal 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, was part of the Countryside Manor Covenants and Restrictions. We will be working with Countryside Manor's representatives to work out the 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. We hope that we will be as good stewards of the 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.
