As a side note, I finally measured the distance and time between it and Sweetwater. There are several slightly different routes that can be taken, but on the one I think I would take most of the time it came out to 9.6 miles and took me about 13 minutes. Not bad considering it will shave about 20 minutes off the drive for Liane.

Not too Soggy
Drove out to the property we are considering at lunch yesterday. It had rained like cats and dogs the day and night before so I thought this would be a good time to check and see how warranted our concerns over the drainage are. I haven't mentioned this before, but after the initial drop-off the property is pretty flat all the way out to a common area behind it, then it rises again before getting to the drop off for the small lake. We wondered if water might stand in the lawn after a rain. I am happy to report that it didn't. Well....it may have for a while, but by the time I got there (several hours after the rain stopped) there wasn't any standing water. This is very good sign considering I still saw water standing in quite a few other places in town.

I liked the area. It looks like it will continue to evolve and be a prime site. I really liked the requirement to plant trees (after they probably plowed any that were there down). The common area right on the lake looks like it has a lot of potential. What about fences? I don't recall seeing any which is sort of surprising since several houses had swimming pools...that is sort of an insurance no-no....attractive nuisances without anything to prevent children from getting to them.
ReplyDeleteThe area used to be a rock quarry of some sort. It may not have had trees. I don't know. There certainly aren't any now, which is kind of a bummer. We wondered about fences as well. Liane believes you can go without them if you have a way to secure the pool. Evidently you can get a type of motorized cover that's considered secure enough to keep kids out. Probably depends on the county.
