Smaller tots than those required in conventional <br /> subdivisions are permitted, provided such lots and subdivisions are developed in accordance with <br /> the following standards: <br /> • Land saved through lot size reductions shall consist of.designated Primary and/or <br /> Secondary Conservation Areas. <br /> • The total amount of land set aside as Primary and Secondary Conservation Areas shall <br /> equal the sum of all reductions in minimum lot area and shall comprise at least thirty-three <br /> percent(33%) of the total land area in the subdivision. <br /> • Both Primary and Secondary Conservation Areas shall be placed in undivided preserves <br /> which adjoin housing areas that have been designed more compactly to create larger <br /> conservation units than may be enjoyed by all residents of the subdivision. Such undivided <br /> open space shall be accessible to the largest number of lots within the development. To <br /> achieve this, the majority of houselots should abut undivided open space to provide <br /> residents with direct views and access. Safe and convenient pedestrian access to the open <br /> space from all adjoining houselots shall be provided, except in the case of farmland or <br /> other resource areas vulnerable to human disturbance. <br /> • Where undivided open space is designated as separate non-contiguous parcels, no parcel <br /> shall consist of less than three (3) acres in area, nor have a length-to-width ratio in excess <br /> of 4:1, except such areas that are specifically designed for neighborhood commons or <br /> greens; playfields; buffers adjacent to wetlands, watercourses, and rural roads; wildlife <br /> corridors; or trail links. <br />
