Re: "The Sanctuary" on 116 °i street
Dear Mike,
Thanks very much for taking the time to consider the following request for clarification
to the site plan for the above referenced project. As you know Paul has been working
with several potential builders for the lots that have the infrastructure in place and they
have expressed concern over two particular aspects of the development. These are:
Internal asphalt trail:
An internal asphalt trail was originally planned for the site within the common area green
space that runs on the western and northern edge of the site. We have since learned that
buyers do not like it when a public path runs behind their home in addition to the public
sidewalk in the front. We would like to delete the trail from the plan to accommodate
this desire by prcy4pective buyers to enhance the privacy that they will then have in the
backyards.
Agreecff internal trails can be liminated from the project

Common Area Amenities:
At one time we thought that a clubhouse and pool would be desired amenities for the
residence of the nationhood and showed them on a plan submitted to the city. However
we have since learned that increasingly buyers would rather not have to pay the higher
Home Owner Association fees needed to maintain and staff these types of amenities. The
green space will contain some amenities for the residence, but they will be designed
based upon feedback received from prospective home buyers. Although it is our
understanding that the Pool and the clubhouse are riot required to be built, we want to
verify this for the b efit of the potential homebuilders looking at the property.

Agreed, Vubhouse and pool are of required.
