Major Features
The extended feature of concrete curb and gutter with an underground storm drainage system which is very costly for the developer but adds significantly to the value of the home owner's investment for the following reasons:
(a.) EXTENDED FRONT LAWNS
Each residential lot will gain the use of approximately ten (10) feet of lawn area in front of their residence, which is a portion of the overall street right-of-way that extends between the building lot front property line and the concrete curbing of the street.(b.) ELIMINATION OF UGLY OPEN DITCH FRONTAGE
The resulting building lots will have significantly enhanced aesthetic appeal and enhanced resale value because of the elimination of open ditch street construction using up this ten foot space with ugly open ditch construction and a driveway culvert system.(c.) GUARANTEED DRY BASEMENTS
Perhaps most important is the result of a confirmed dry residential basement with the ability to drain a properly constructed basement foundation drainage system into the subdivision storm water drainage system since municipal codes do not legally allow basement storm drainage to be diverted into the sanitary sewer system.
Special Condition On Selected Lots
To protect the view of the lots located on the southwest side of Falcon Drive, Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 must have no roofline that is above the eighteen (18) foot view plane as measured from the center of the paved road in front of the dwelling.
However, while all homes built on these lots on the northeast side of Falcon Drive must be ONE STOREY homes relative to the street elevation, it should be noted the increased value of these particular lots for the following reasons:
(a) The view plane or scenery on the rear elevation of these lots will never be obstructed by another home or building;
(b) The topography of the land is such that all homes on these particular lots can have the basements open at walk in ground level at the rear of the home and thus make the basement an additional residential level of the home. This, of course, reduces construction costs significantly per square foot of living space.
(c) There will be the use of extended land area into the subdivision parkland open space beyond the building lot rear property line which enhances the resale value and lifestyle of the home owner.
Note: Similar to Lots No.1 through No.12 all building lots numbered 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 37 must have no roofline that is above the eighteen (18) foot view plane as measured from the center of the paved road in front of the dwelling. All homes built on these lots must be ONE STOREY homes relative to the street elevation to protect the view of lots to their rear located in the new PHASE 2 section of the subdivision.
Enhanced Property Value
Covenants are to protect the quality of residential housing and landscaping of the subdivision which will enhance the value of the homeowner's investment and ensure easy resale of any home.
Modern Services To Building Lots
