K3 <br />-The Concept Plan was approved by the Planning Board (by a 7 to 4 vote to <br />approve) December 3, 1997, with three conditions: <br />1. Access to all lots shall be limited to the new subdivision road; <br />2. On the Preliminary Plan, include a 40 -foot buffer along Moorefields <br />Road as part of the open space protected by restrictive covenants or a <br />conservation easement.

With the Preliminary Plan, submit draft forms of the homeowners <br />association documents and restrictive covenants or conservation <br />easement which contain use and maintenance provisions for the <br />common open space and buffers. The restrictive covenants or <br />conservation shall designate a back -up grantee, in the event the <br />homeowners association is eliminated. <br />In addition, the Planning Board requested that a second Neighborhood <br />Information Meeting be conducted once the plan was approved by the Health <br />Department. Such a meeting was held on September 28, 1998. A summary of <br />that meeting is included as an attachment to this document.
