So N CDo a) o CD a Resolution No. 03-004 Page 7 of 11 APPLICATION FOR PRIVATE STREET DESIGNA11ON REASONS, USE, APPLICANTS CHERRY LANE Cherry Lane is a small country lane 660 feet long,east off Camelian Street just above Hillside Rood. Evergreen trees,almost 40 years old, along with large flowering Oleanders frame both sides of the first 256 feet of the 15-foot wide lane forming what is known by residents as "the tunnel". The next 135 feet has large natural evergreen Jojoba plants on the south side and landscaping on the north. None of these trees or shrubs require watering,except by Mother Nature. The lane is on a common 35-foot easement on the south of each of the Cherry Lane properties. The electric,wafer and phone companies each have specific access within the easement area. There is a four foot by eight inch solid poured storm water retention wall that runs 5 feet north of the south property lines, the entire east/west length of the Cherry 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 comer of the west lot is a fenced three-foot pipe drdn, which empties into the flood channel at the back of the west Topaz development. Three acres of undeveloped land lies north of the Cherry Lane properties. It consists of four parcels: One is 135 feet wide and three are 90 feet wide, all are 330 feet deep and all face Vicars Street. Thus Cherry Lane residents are enclosed on properties with only one way in and out. APPLICANTS Four families own property on Cherry Lane. One faces Carnelian and has an access gate to the property opening onto Cherry Lane. I. The Lester Noreen family are 40-year residents who 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 Camelian. Poge 1 of 3 EXH I(31T C 1 OF 4 Resolution No. 03-004 Page 8 of 11 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 and orchard,and planted a variety of beautiful trees. A park-like atmosphere was created. He also planted the trees and oleanders an Cherry Lane. The present owner is his son, Bruce Noreen with his wife and children. Three properties face Cherry Lane. Two have a circular driveway. 1. The Masters family,40-year residents,built at the some time as the Noreen's on the east and the Schriber's to the west. They built a one-story,2000 square foot home with an orchard,garden, bap field, landscaping and flowers along with a variety of trees, now very mature. They also planted the Jojoba shrubs along Chert' Lane. 2. The Kniesley family are 11-year residents. They purchased the Schriber property then improved the orchard and landscaping. Here too,are many mature trees. 3. Steve Harrison & Lori Wharton have recently.purchased the fast one-acre parcel, on the west,having found the perfect site to build their home. They are presently going through the necessary steps to begin construction. REASONS This is a free neighborhood of friends; one of the most valuable assets for family living. Over the years the neighbors have become friends and have watched out for the general safety and welfare of each other. In August of 2000, there was a neighborhood meeting to discuss what to do with the "community property" Cherry Lane. All were in favor of privatization,but the project was put on hold at that time. Now, almost two years later the project is ready to begin and the neighbors are still in agreement regarding their views on the matter. Cherry Lane is... • A quiet country lane with no traffic,safe for children and animals. • A street where anyone coming in is going to one of our homes, and their coming and going is noticed. • An open space, with room to breathe. Pnge 2 nf 3 C. 2OF4 Resolution No. 03-004 Page 9 of 11 • A bird watchers paradise and 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. A place where artistic creations made from "found" materials and antique objects of interest are positioned along the road and in the yards of the Noreen's and Masters, creating unique points of interest for visitors and residents alike. CONCLUSION We have joined.together to form an agreement that each of us will contribute our share in the maintenance and preservation of Cherry Lane. We would Ike to have our road left as close as possible to the way it is now, and 9pVnote CHE`RRYY NE a Private Street.
