1 <br /> strategies put forth include (1) the final report of the University Lake Watershed Study <br /> completed by Camp, Dresser & McKee (CDM) in March, 1989 and (2) the 13-point Agreement <br /> prepared by the Joint Watershed Work Group in October, 1989. Six different elements are- <br /> being considered at this time: - <br /> 1. Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan & Text <br /> 2. Joint Planning Agreement <br /> 3. Orange County Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Element • <br /> 4. Orange County Zoning Atlas <br /> 5. Orange County Zoning Ordinance <br /> 6. Orange County Subdivision Regulations <br /> Collins continued with describing the two basic options. Option #1 involves the <br /> land use control strategy which involves the 5-acre residential zoning, impervious surface <br /> limits and the establishment of stream buffers. Option #2 uses the structural controls <br /> strategy which is a combination of 2-acre residential zoning density which the watershed <br /> is currently under by way of the rural buffer designation, coupled with wetwater detention <br /> ponds. There would also be impervious surface limits and stream buffer requirements. <br /> Both of these strategies have been identified by CDM as being able to achieve the water <br /> quality goal of minimum degradation in University Lake. <br /> Option #1 is described below: <br /> Basic Strategy: <br /> Minimum lot size of 5 acres <br /> Maximum density of 1 dwelling unit/5 acres <br /> Existing Lots of Record: (October, 1989) <br /> May create up to 5 2-acre lots <br /> Remainder divided in accord with "Basic Strategy" <br /> Cluster Development: <br /> Minimum lot size of 1 acre <br /> Density cannot exceed 1 dwelling unit/5 acres <br /> Land saved by lot size reduction preserved as permanent open space <br /> • <br /> Collins illustrated the above option showing how it would be applied to a <br /> conventional subdivision, an existing lot of record and a cluster subdivision. <br /> Option #2 is described below: <br /> Basic Strategy: <br /> Minimum lot size of 2 acres <br /> On-site wetwater detention ponds designed to CDM standards must be <br /> provided to trap pollutants <br /> Existing lots of record: <br /> lots less than 2 acres in size can be developed at current size <br /> Cluster Development: <br /> Minimum lot size of 1 acre <br /> Density cannot exceed 1 dwelling unit/2 acres <br /> 'Land saved by lot size reduction preserved in permanent open space <br /> Collins illustrated Option #2 showing how it would be applied to a conventional <br /> subdivision. <br /> Collins described "Impervious Surface" as any surface which does not absorb rain, <br /> including buildings, roads, driveways, sidewalks, patios, and parking areas. Both paved <br /> (asphalt, concrete) and unpaved (gravel, crushed stone, soil) surfaces are considered to <br /> be impervious. This is a change in the County's definition to coincide with the CDM <br /> report. There are two proposals in terms of impervious surface: <br />
