Councii <br />Exhibit J <br />Narrative for the SHADYW00D VILLAS -Orono by Charles Cudd Co LLC <br />We are proposing a residential detached villa neighborhood that offers a carefree luxury living <br />opportunity for the empty nester market. These beautifully designed Villa homes would offer main floor <br />living featuring the master bedroom on the main level as well as the primary living areas like kitchen, <br />great rooms, sunporches, decks, dining room, bathrooms, laundry and mudrooms all easily accessible on <br />the main floor. The homes will also have the potential to finish recreation space, game room, exercise <br />room, and 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath on the walkout lower level. <br />We feel there is an excellent demand for this new home lifestyle design. The aging baby boomer market <br />desires to downsize from their larger 2 -story homes and are looking for a better designed and detailed <br />alternative with more luxury and privacy than a condo or attached townhome. The detached Villa home <br />concept also offers the advantage of low maintained living with a homeowners association providing <br />lawn care, trash and snow removal services. <br />Based on the feedback we received from both the Planning Commission and neighbors, we have <br />updated the landscape plan for the Shadywood Villas neighborhood. We have revised our initial grading <br />plan to save as many of the existing trees as possible. We will be using a previous paver driveway for <br />each home which will greatly help the drainage plan and which in turn will save many more of the <br />existing trees. <br />Rick Denman <br />Charles Cudd Co.
