The development does not provide the minimum 33% open space required in Flexible Development since the applicant has not demonstrated that the land use buffers proposed along Moorefields Road and along the north boundary and a portion of the east boundary"screen the view of[the] development and preserve the character of the rural public roads"as required to satisfy criteria for Secondary Open Space.
