Preliminary House plans
by
Libby
on Thu 17 Mar 2005 12:36 PM PST
See attached File of site plans. Attached is a proposed site plan showing a new entry road which splits into an entry drive on axis with the house and a service drive that circles around the house and existing barn to the rear parking/service area. From there, the drive continues back to Hills Prairie Road. This arrangement allows direct access to the parking/service area and a formal approach to the house. The principal entrance is placed by the existing barn near Hills Prairie Road.  1 AttachmentsSunday, November 28
