Robert White, 56187 Dequindre, Rochester Hills, MI 48306 Mr. White |
|
advised that his home was to the west of the subject site. He said that the |
|
Commissioners might remember that they were at a meeting a few |
|
months ago speaking in opposition to the Rezoning to R-1, primarily |
|
because they wanted to preserve the natural open space and feel of the |
|
R-E zoning, which they appreciated when they bought their house less |
|
than a year ago. He thanked everyone for letting them in on the process |
|
at this stage, and he felt that it was a good start to working together. They |
|
wanted to learn more about the PUD process. They were not opposed to |
|
creative solutions to make sure the rural nature and open feel were |
|
maintained. That had been their main objective all along. They had |
|
always been willing to work with the developer to come to a solution that |
|
everyone could be happy with. They did have a septic and well water, and |
|
he believed his neighbors were on it also. Regarding the driveway |
|
easement, he was not sure if the applicants had done a title search on his |
|
property, but he believed that there was a specific easement on his title |
|
where the existing driveway was. He had not spoken to his neighbors, but |
|
he thought they would agree that it would be o.k. to connect to the loop |
|
road. He did not think the easement could just move without their |

Mr. Rob Link, 1956 Carter, Rochester Hills, MI 48306. Mr. Link said |
|
that he lived just north of the proposed site. He appreciated the |
|
opportunity to speak. He was concerned about water drainage. If |
|
someone walked through the land, it was very squishy and wet. One |
|
owner was going to build a house there, and they dug two to three holes to |
|
look for septic fields. Those were filled with water now. They needed to |
|
figure out some place to drain the water. It was very important to him |
|
because all of their water spilled into the pond in the north when it rained. |
|
He added that he would not like a driveway going around the perimeter, |
|
and he thought that something through the middle would make more |
|
sense. He asked if the applicants could pay their taxes, and he also said |
|
he would have to put in a call to have their lawn mowed. |
