Executive Summary
The subject property includes several remote large lots served by a public street terminating in a cul-de-sac. Its location at the top of a hill provides expansive views and a dark sky. This location has attracted a group of uninvited visitors who are leaving inappropriate debris on the street. The property owners have formed a Homeowner's Association and created easements around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac in an effort to enhance the security. Their plan is to install cohesive landscaping and fencing with gates at each driveway location. Previously, they had pursued gating the entire cul-de-sac, which is only possible when the street is private and there is an alternative emergency vehicle turn-around. This requirement proved impossible, creating the need for the proposed alternative.
