Numerous discussions exist on cul-de-sac length. There are options that could mitigate the length such as looping the road at intervals and rejoining the main road. It might have eliminated some housing along the side streets. The plus of this was retention of hillsides and trees in a conservation easement that is maintained by a POA. The problem is economics- price is high for land and they need to make a profit. That is not for the PC to solve though. Their job is to be sure the ordinances for health, safety, and welfare are all met. Safety probably was sacrificed to some degree here with the waivers granted.<br />Second- the developer and their spokesperson seemed totally unaware of the agricultural fence laws. He agreed to abide by them- but that is a cost passed to the POA- so his risk is low there.cebmuellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984169115606851305noreply@blogger.com
