Introduction <image: Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e ye vie w of Redacted Cove>
Nestled in a cove in the shadow of Redacted Mountain & Redacted Ridge, the Client Family owns two parcels totaling approximately 40 acres. These parcels fall within the far northwestern extent of the township of Swannanoa, just outside of Asheville, NC. The first parcel is approximately 20 acres in size and is divided north to south by Jones Cove Road (PIN NO: 9770081422); the northern tract is the location of the Client â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future home (Samsel Architects and Drake Fowler). The second parcel is 18.5 acres and is located to the south and east of the homesite (PIN NO: 9770182300). The property, and area in general, is composed predominantly of former agricultural lands and successional forests. Discreet stands of mature forest can be found confined to the northern extent of the eastern parcel and the area in between the streams on the homesite tract.
PURPOSE & INTENT OF THIS MANAGEMENT PLAN The intent of this management plan is to be utilitarian, educational, and dynamic. Just as landscapes adapt and respond to natural forces, a management plan must do the same by identifying, adapting, and responding to current conditions while preparing for potential future impacts, problems, or issues that may arise. The recommendations provided within this management plan deliver the Client the information needed to proceed with site development in the sustainable and responsible manner to which they have expressed commitment. Information presented here should be accessible and functional without sacrificing the conveyance of technical knowledge.
