We will maintain the designated conservation easement with the existing tress to the south that will make it difficult if not impossible to see the new development from Kelly Ave. A feature of the PUD is the opportunity to control the site as a whole. This gi ves us the ability assure that the existing trees will remain in the proposed buffer and we can plan for effective storm water management. Moving forward, assuming approval of the outlined plan, we will provide a formal site plan for approval with civil engineering. The drawing set will include outlines for new locations for streets and utilities. The neighborhood will be large enough to economically support a homeowners association which will provide for and coordinate all landscape and maintenance services. The Home Owner’s Association will assure the long term commitment and care of the woodland and wetland areas. We will relocate and reuse the small barn found on the site using it both as a symbol of the history of the site and as a gathering place for the resident ’s use. The developer will create design guidelines for the development so each home built fits into the vision of a neighborhood street allowing for stylistic variation, controlling size, placement, and harmonization with the context. Overall the development is conservatively projected create a land value of $2.1 million to $2.6 Million and an overall property value of $11 million to $12 million once all of the homes have been built. All of this will have a positive effect on the Navarre community and Orono as a whole.
