Best and Maximal Use of Land = A retirement community

Consult the zoning laws.

Our engineer has already met with all the town departments. We have no issues. We expect immediate approval.

Approval process. Special permit and site plan review. Not a preliminary plan and definitive plan. We are doing a preliminary plan to formalize the process we have already done although this is not necessary for a retirement community.

Density - The maximum density is achieved with 44 Condomium units, implemented as Quadplexes (11 buildings + clubhouse). The maximum allowed by zoning.

Water - A community well is required. Our engineer has already met with the DEP and designed the community wells. Data for installed and tested 8 GPM well is on the main web page.

Sewer. On site shared septic. 44 units * 150 GPD/Unit = 6,600 GPD. Perc tests and shared system concept plan on the main web page.

Buildings. Floor plans and elevations are required. Elevations are subject to historic approval. The design is taken from a house across the street from the soccer fields. This house can be seen with Google Earth.

Drainage. There are 2 storm drains on the frontage. Storm drains and curbs are eliminated and replaced with LID and BMP techniques in the design.

Landscaping. Plan required. Incorporates drainage plan. Design greatly reduces landscaping costs and maintanence costs.

Clubhouse. Required.

Land Usage Subdivision fits on approximately 11 acres with 5 acres of open space

Road Length Road shown is approximately 1600 LF

Curb CutsCurb cuts have been reduced from 44 to 17. The average driveway length per unit is 50'.

Topography. There is a 5% grade parallel to Singletary Ave. and perpendicular to Singletary Ave. Buildings and drainage plan have been rotated into the topography to put the longest side of the buildings on level ground. Building design, site layout and landscaping all act as if on level ground.

Views. Excellent views from each unit

Road Noise. Almost half the units abut open space and are not along a road

Recreation. Hiking on site. Clubhouse. Garden plots. General area has a lot to offer within walking distance.

Open Space. Meadow and Forest

Genre. Naturalism, eco friendly, green, leed. Average to upscale. Upscale supported by area. Not institutionalized. Relaxed, peaceful. An institution is their next step and is best avoided.

Association Fees. Designed for lowest possible

Profitability. This design is highly profitable. The profit margins are also much greater than any of the alternatives. Please ask the realtor for a business plan or contact the owner for a copy.

Marketability. There are few if any condo options in that area of Sutton. Most options are in the Manchaug area only. There is no competition. A high end and highly desirable area of the town. Design has private patio areas instead of lined up decks on the back of the units that typically have a lot of noise and no privacy. Design has a lot of flexibility to add second floor space without changing building design. Area supports high quality interiors and top dollar. Property has no abutters. Not everyone is interested in playing lawn slave 8 hours a week or paying to have a large lawn done. A short drive to 2 major highway entrances and shopping. Close to the center of town, singletary lake and within walking distance to a long list of activities. See main web page for details.

Intended to look more like a farmhouse with a front yard instead of a line up of condos with garages along the road and short stub driveways.

Whether you go up the road or down the road, you never see more than 1/2 the total units across the entire subdivision. It appears to be 22 units not 44.
