► The Mountain View MUR was approved by the County Commission in December. Ten derelict structures on the property were immediately demolished. Engineering and planning for the project continue to move forward.

Your interest and participation in the formulation of this project is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support! We continue to work toward a model community that will enhance our neighborhood.

► Site Plan Update: The online site plan (link in the "At a Glance" inset to right) has been modified to reflect recent revisions to the proposed development.

Manufactured homes are prohibited. Lots will have a minimum road frontage of 50 feet with possible exceptions in cul de sacs. All yards will be sodded; each will have a two-car garage. At least half of dwellings will have parking in rear. All utilities will be underground.

Each unit will have at least a one-car garage. At least half of units will have parking in rear. The structure will be protected by firewalls between units. Underground utilities.

Deliveries and dumpster pick-up are limited to between 7 am and 9 pm.

Buffers: Natural and fence buffers will be maintained between the project and adjoining properties (ex.: 75 feet between project and single-family uses).

Trees: Each parking lot will feature hardwood shade trees. There will be at least 20 tree density units per acre throughout entire development. "Street trees," also hardwood shade trees, will be planted along both sides at every 50 feet.

Parking: Parking will meet or exceed existing zoning ordinances applicable to each use. Off-street parking areas will be screened from sidewalks and roadways.

Signage: Oversized, blinking, exposed neon, portable, inflatable and temporary signs will be prohibited. Internally illuminated wall signs will not be located within 150 feet of single-family uses, to reduce "light pollution."

Lighting and street furniture: Decorative lampposts will be placed along both sides of internal streets. "Pedestrian-level" lighting will be provided along both sides of the streets, as well. The project will include numerous other "street-level" features including, but not limited to bike racks, benches and trash receptacles. We welcome your suggestions for additional street-level features.

Architectural design: The building materials used in the project will meet or exceed the ordinance, which generally require facade treatments of brick, stone, stucco or wood shake. To complement pedestrian-level activity, the facades of non-residential buildings will incorporate trellises, windows, recessed panels, doors and colonnade openings every 20-30 linear feet. Metal or portable buildings will be prohibited. Most buildings will feature live plantings in front or on the facade. All mechanical and HVAC systems will be screened from street-level view on all sides.
