10 <br />• General public accessibility within open space should be determined <br />through a case -by -case evaluation of the goals and uses of the open space <br />in that particular development. <br />Primary Conservation Areas, because of their considerable recreation, <br />scenic and cultural public values, should ideally be made available for the <br />use of the public at large through access by public road. However, it will <br />not be feasible for public use to be provided in all cases (e.g. fragile <br />cultural sites, protected and/or private habitat areas, hazardous slopes <br />and wetlands, etc.). <br />Secondary Conservation Areas should ideally be available to, at least, <br />subdivision residents, particularly when it includes active and passive <br />recreation areas. In some cases, this level of public entry may not be <br />appropriate (e.g. working timber or agricultural resource areas). <br />• If less than half of designated open space is Primary Conservation Area, <br />the subdivision plan shall provide direct access to Primary or Secondary <br />Conservation Area to at least 75% of project lots.

The remaining lots <br />shall be within approximately 600 feet of an accessible point of Primary <br />or Secondary Conservation Area. <br />C -5 C--3- Ownership of open space. <br />Open space within a flexible development may be owned and/or administered by any of <br />the following methods, either individually or in combination.

The county may <br />reject any proposed dedication at its discretion prior to or during the <br />application. <br />• Dedication of conservation easements to the county, another unit of <br />local government, the state or a private nonprofit land conservancy. <br />Such easements may apply to a single property owned by a <br />homeowner's association and/or to all or portions of individual lots <br />owned by one or more property owners. The county may reject any <br />
