• Subject: Land Use Plan for Rezoning Consideration Date: March 28, 1995 Introduction P-'� We have an accepted offer to purchase 118 acres in th; 'uarter of Section 16 in Primrose Township. This property is on the west side of Primrose Cent- t •d, 1/4 mile north of County Highway A. We hope to build a home on this site. Our offer to purchase is contingent on getting a portion of the property rezoned and a building permit issued. This document is to explain our plans for the property as part of our request to have the township rezone a portion of the land for residential housing. A site map is attached showing the approximate location where we would like to build our home. A survey map with the legal description of the land we a proposing to rezone will be provided within the next week. A plat map identifying the land is also attached. We understand the township's desire to keep the town's rural character. This character is precisely the reason we want to live in Primrose township. We are planning to purchase a relatively large area of land. Hopefully,this will help preserve the area's rural character. We also understand the desire to avoid the destruction of agricultural land. There is a significant portion of this property that has never been cropland and may be an adequate building site. By avoiding damage to agricultural land,we hope to address this concern. Building Site There appears to be a good building site at the top of the highest hill on the property. This site is in the vicinity of a loafing shed currently on the hill. According to an affidavit from a previous long term owner of the property,this site and the other steep and formerly wooded hillsides were never cropped. We believe we could build a road and home on this site with no adverse affect to crop land. We hope to have about 2 acres of non agricultural land zoned for a single resident home. House We both prefer older styles of homes. We plan to build a two story Victorian style house. The house plans that we are interested in are traditional and tasteful. The house would fit nicely into the character of the community. We both enjoy landscaping and gardening. We plan to have a beautiful home site. Land Improvements We believe we can enhance the attractiveness of this land. Trees have been removed from several steep hills along the road. We plan to reforest these hills. Having trees growing again on these hills will enhance the beauty of the entire area. We also plan to plant trees along the north property boundary. Pat enjoys training his hunting dog. We plan to plant hedgerows and food plots to increase gamebird populations to provide more dog training opportunities. We hope to be able to have a pond dug in the low land in the NW corner of the property. We are both dedicated to protecting and enhancing the beauty and productivity of this land. 1
