3. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) a. continued.. corporate and general business office sites. The Commission plans to set the price for the land and put it up for bid at its meeting on Mazch 19. Mr. Riggs explained that the purpose of the Protective and Restrictive Covenants and Development Guidelines is to make sure .that the Blackthorn Corporate Center has the high quality development we desire to see there. We want the development of Blackthorn to have minimal impact on the natural landscape, vegetation, and wildlife. It will be maintained as a premier business environment for office, support office, reseazch, and general business uses in a natural setting. We want to protect owners and occupants of Blackthorn against improper and undesirable uses or substandazd materials. Certain azeas with unique natural features will be preserved as conservation easements. Development in portions of the Corporate Center will be restricted to certain types of development, namely corporate office uses, support office and reseazch uses, and general business uses. Mrs. Kolata noted that the covenants will be recorded and will continue to restrict the land when it-is sold, so future users will be required to maintain the same standazds. The covenants also include the creation of an owners association at Blackthorn. The owners association will be responsible for enforcement of the covenants. The Commission will control the owners association until most of the land is sold. Upon a motion by Mr. Fewell, seconded by Mr. Wroblewski and unanimously carried, the Authority approved Resolution No. 73 approving declaration of Protective and Restrictive Covenants of the Blackthorn Corporate Center and Blackthorn Corporate Center-Development Guidelines.

James visited other office pazks and read their covenants and guidelines and incorporated them into this one. It was a lot of-.work and was done in a very short amount of time. Because of their work we have a really good document which will result in a high quality office pazk. b.
