(Review PowerPoint 40 Presentation maps). 41 42 Larry Wright: How many units per acre are allowed in the other watersheds. 43 44 Craig Benedict: One unit per five acres in both these. While protecting these criticai watersheds that are part of the OWASA 45 service area except if someone has only a 10 or 12 acre lot that they can subdivide it into two acre lots or densities for the first 10 46 acres. Someone can put seven iwo acre lots in this subdivision. The rest can be open space. Even though I calculated those 47 five two acre lots for the first ten acres,then you are only allowed two lots and the rest can be open space. Our interest is not to 48 have big lots without protecting open space. A question that I did not put on here but is probably in your mind is that we have 49 iwo critical area watersheds that have a certain level of protection. Why don't we have the same level of protection in this area? 50 We are trying to correct the definitions of the lines of the maps. 51 52 Mary Bobbitt-Cooke: Going back to your sample,the 6%of impervious and this type of subdivision, part would fall back on the 53 two acre lot loophole,right? For the road that comes in. 54 55 Craig Benedict: We will take the impervious of the entire 20 acres and do 6%on that. You can shift some of this impenrious that 56 could have gone here and it can be re-designated towards those two acre lots. You just don't do the two acres times 6%. You 57 can do another 20 acre site times 6%and apportion it to the road and to the lot and what we do to the subdivision is that we look 58 at that during the minor or major subdivision process and make sure there is an allocation and as we put in the agenda package, 59 there are some people that have subdivisions that go back to 1970 even before there were subdivision rules and we work with 60 them on a case by case basis and find out what they had. We also added something in, you saw at the public hearing, this
