Pedestrian access easements have been provided to allow access to
the Spring Creek Trail. Other site amenities include one street
tree per lot and a thirty foot wide landscaped buffer along Drake
Road. A six foot high wood privacy fence with stone columns will
provide additional buffering for residents and enhance the
streetscape along Drake Road. Stone columns, evergreen trees and
foundation planting accent entryways. The name of the project will
appear on one side of the main entry drive. The landscape along
Drake Road and the access easements will be owned and maintained by
a Homeowner's Association.
In meeting with the neighbors to the west, Mr. & Mrs. Keifer,
Storck Development has also agreed to install a 6' fence along the
west property line as a buffer and for privacy. This is in addition
to the existing dense landscaping the Keifers have already planted
for privacy.
In the past, Storck Development has developed The Village at Four
Seasons. Hampshire Square and The Enclave and The Village at Golden
Meadows. Current developments include The Village at Southridge
and Hampshire Court. We believe there continues to be a market
demand for the type and quality of homes we are known for and this
location is ideal for the product we offer. We would like to begin
construction in the fall of 1993.
City land use policies achieved by the plan include contributing to
a mix of housing types and densities as well as providing housing
that is convenient to shopping, schools and recreation. We are
pleased to submit this proposal for the Hampshire Pond housing
development and look forward to your comments.
Sincerely,
STORCK DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
