Good morning,
With the additional clarification from research Zach did on those properties, we determined the approved concept
showed three (3) total lots in that area. The parcel at 1236 Shenandoah is existing, the parcel at 1250 Shenandoah could
be divided resulting in no more than two (2) lots. This ensures the approved density is not exceeded for the overall
development.
I’ve attached an excerpt highlighting those lots as they were originally approved.
The question about the restrictive covenants would be something you’ll need to consult an attorney about. They could
do the necessary title work and review the private covenants to determine if those parcels were ever included in one or
more of them.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Robert

Hey Robert,
Thanks for all of your guys help on this package I've been working on acquiring from CCD.
My next question I'm hoping to gain clarity on is: Because the Shenandoah Lots referenced above (1250 & 1236) were
never included in neither Shenandoah 1, 2, or 3 subsector plats, it would not have to adhere to any
declarations attached to those subsectors. Is that right?

No plat referenced in any of the declarations seems to include the 3 Shenandoah lots (future dev 1250 & 1236) as actual
accounted for lots - What Cindy Wilson (CCD) and I are trying to figure out is where we're going to place these if
anywhere ( in what subsector? ) or if we only have to adhere to the current UDO restrictions ( R-15 )
I know when you and I spoke in June, you said "you should be able to get 4 lots and 2.5 units / acre here without issue"
I know it's already been approved at TRC for the 3 lot subdivision, but I would like to push it to four (4).
What type of pushback or challenges, if any, do you see with this? I plan on ordering a survey to do a 4 lot split as
referenced in the sketch attached, but I want to know the general "feeling" you may have on getting 4 lots here before I
spend a few thousand dollars.
Just want to be clear on this.
Thank you,
