`I N' <br />• Pedestrian Access Paths, corridors of at least 50 feet in width, which <br />should be able to accommodate recreational uses and conservation goals, <br />and allow pedestrians to reach other open space areas in the subdivision <br />on foot. Pedestrian access paths should be consistent with definitions and <br />guidelines for paths set forth in existing Orange County ordinances and <br />regulations. <br />All paths must be connected at least once to another type of open space. <br />If a single Flexible Subdivision area has more than one path, the open <br />space plan should, if practicable, be redrawn to connect them into a single <br />path system. All paths should reach at least one outside edge of the <br />subdivided property so that they may potentially be connected to <br />pedestrian paths on future projects on adjacent properties. <br />• Roadside Buffers, areas buffering public roads, when they are at least 100 <br />feet in width, measured in one direction from the nearest edge of the <br />road. Roadside buffers must be composed of undisturbed natural <br />vegetation. <br />Greenbelt Linkages, areas that can be used as part of a connected <br />greenbelt path, within an approved County Greenbelt program. <br />Size and Shape - Whenever possible, Secondary Conservation Areas should <br />be,part of substantially sized and/or contiguously linked open space sections <br />and meet guidelines as put forth in Section F.I. <br />CA Access to Open Space <br />The level of public access to open space is determined based on the type of space <br />that is being preserved. Primary Conservation Areas, because of their considerable <br />public value for recreation and scenery, are intended to be made available to the <br />public at large through public paths accessible by public road and/or direct access <br />by public road. Secondary Conservation Areas of common use shall be, at least, <br />accessible to site subdivision residents <br />Open space plans shall provide direct contiguous access to Primary or Secondary <br />Conservation Area to at least 75% of project lots, and access to Primary or <br />Secondary Conservation Area within 300 feet of each of the remaining lots. <br />In cases where the majority of open space is Primary Conservation Area, which is <br />sited by composition and not by elective locational value, only 50% of project lots <br />
