Almost 40 years ago evergreen trees along with large flowering oleanders frame both sides of the first 256 feet of the 15-foot wide lane forming what we call "THE TUNNEL". The next 135 feet has large natural evergreen Jojoba plants on the south side and landscaping on the north. All of these trees and shrubs never need to be watered.... except by Mother Nature. The lane is on a common 30-foot easement on the south of each of the Cherry Lane properties. However,because years ago a water retention was placed five feet south of the south, east/west property line, the access has been by default extended to thirtyfive feet of the easement. The south six feet and the north ten feet are utility rightways: Edison and GTE have located their access one foot inside the south property line and CC WD has placed the water line in the middle of the north ten feet. The four foot by eight inch solid poured storm water retention was mentioned above, runs the entire length of the Cheng Lane properties to channel storm water east to Carnelian and west to a storm drain to prevent flooding of the homes below. At the west end of the wall next to the SW corner of the west lot is a fenced three-foot pipe drain,which empties into the flood channel at the back of the west Topaz development. Also, from the drain north to Vicara Street(approx. 660 feet) along the west side of Harker's lot is a six-foot block was also used for runoff control. Three acres of undeveloped land lies north of the Cherry Lane properties. It consists of four parcels: One, 135 feet wide and three, 90 feet wide,all are 330 feet deep and all face Vicara Street. Thus Cherry Lane residents are enclosed on an island with only one way in and out. APPLICANTS Five families have access to Cherry Lane. Two face Carnelian and have access gates to the back of their properties opening onto Cherry Lane. 1. The Lester Noreen family, 38-year residents, originally purchased the 5 acres keeping 2 acres for themselves and splitting the rest into 3 one-acre parcels. Mr. Noreen's Record of Survey is dated July 1959. He graded the road and brought the water down from Almond Street at the top of Carnelian. " Removed from the agenda Resolution No. 01-016 Page 7 of 10 On his two acres, Mr. Noreen built a two story home facing Carnelian, landscaped around it and built pens for a cow and goats; a bird aviary, an orchard and planted a variety of beautiful trees. A park like atmosphere was created. He also planted the trees and oleanders on Cherry Lane. The present owner is his son, Bruce Noreen with his wife and childien. 2. The Passarelli family are 15-year residents. Mr. Passarelli remodeled an existing home on the south side of Cherry Lane facing Carnelian...making a beautiful two story grey stone home professionally landscaped. He also planted oleanders under the trees on the south side of the lane. Three properties face Cherry Lane. Two have and one will have a circular driveway. 1. The Masters family, 38-year residents, built at the same time as the Noreens on the east and the Schribers to the west. They built a one-story 2000sq' home with an orchard, garden, ball field, landscaping and flowers along with a variety of trees.... now very mature. They also planted the Jojoba shrubs along Cherry Lane. 2. The Kniesley family are 9-year residents. They purchased the Schriber property then improved the orchard and landscaping. Here too, are many mature trees. 3. The Harker family has recently purchased the last one-acre parcel,on the west having found"the perfect site"for their home. They are presently going through the necessary steps to begin construction. REASONS This is a true neighborhood of friends: one of the most valuable assets for family living...and WE WELCOME OUR NEW NEIGHBOR. Over the years,we have visited `over the fence", loaned tools,helped each other when help was needed and watch out for the general safety and welfare of each other. On August 28, 2000,we held a neighborhood meeting to discuss what to do with our "community property"Cherry Lane.... • A quiet country lane, no traffic, safe for children and animals. • Knowing that whoever comes in is going to one of our homes. And we notice their coming and going. • The openness, room to breathe. • A bird watchers paradise and an animal lovers delight with birds and wildlife in a great variety and abundance. A special delight to all is the wild bunnies that occasionally stop your car while deciding whether to dig in or run • Artistic creations made from"found" materials and antique objects of interest are positioned along the road and in the yards of the Noreens and Masters, creating unique points of interest for visitors and residents alike. "r " 7_ ef S Removed from the Agenda Resolution No. 01-016 Page 8 of 10 RESULTS WE HAVE JOINED TOGETHER TO FORM AN AGREEMENT THAT EACH OF US WILL CONTRIBUTE OUR SHARE IN THE MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION.OF OUR COUNTRY LANE, CHERRY LANE. We would like to have our road left the way it is and... DESIGNATE CHERRY LANE A PRIVATE STREET.
