* 1 - Open space within this sustainable community includes water quality and detention
pond areas as well as native landscaped areas. All common areas will be maintained by
the HOA and the common areas and ,p.ative landscaped areas will be owned by the HOA.
The native landscaped areas being provided exceed the required park area of 1/150 acre
per dwelling unit. Furthermore, the developer proposes the dedication of a ± 10 acre park
at the top of Mission Hill. The park entrance, located on Independence Drive, is less than
one half mile from the entrance to The Enclave at Westpointe Village subdivision. The
proposed Mission Hill Park will provide an easily accessible park area for the residents
within the Enclave ofWestpointe Village in addition to the HOA-owned open spaces
within the sustainable community itself.
*2-The cul-de-sac diameter being provided is in excess of the minimum required by
code and will provide a park-like island with additional open space that provides a unique
identity within the neighborhood.
*3- The average lot area exceeds the 8,000 SF minimum in R-lA-8 base zoning district
by approximately 17.7%. The nature of the meandering street layout within this
sustainable neighborhood creates lots with varied sizes and shapes. This eliminates
monotony while providing unique views as one walks or drives along the streets. Using
this design technique, called coving, we've significantly increased the average distances
of homes front to front and homes rear to rear (the areas where home windows are
concentrated) compared to conventional planning that strives to make all lots at the 8,000
square foot minimum.
