40 <br /> When any woodland is developed, care shall be taken to locate buildings, streets, yards, <br /> and septic disposal fields to avoid mature forests, natural areas, and/or wildlife corridors. <br /> • To the greatest extent practicable, development should be designed around existing <br /> hedgerows and treelines between fields or meadows. The impact on larger woodlands <br /> (greater than five acres), especially those containing mature trees, natural areas, and/or <br /> wildlife corridors, should be minimized. <br /> F.3 Farmland Conservation <br /> Where the goal of the Flexible Development project is to conserve farmland, the following criteria <br /> apply: <br /> Locate building lots in forested areas away from existing pastures, cropland, feedlots, and <br /> similar uses. <br /> • If development must be located on open fields or pastures because of greater constraints <br /> on other parts of the site, dwellings should be sited in locations at the far edge of a field, <br /> as seen from a public road. <br /> Identify the most productive portions of existing fields, pastures, and cropland, and locate <br /> building lots on less productive land. <br /> • Provide buffers of at least 75 feet in width between building lots and cropland and <br /> pastures to reduce the potential for conflict between residents and farming activities. <br /> F.4 Conservation of Scenic Views <br /> Where the goal of the Flexible Development project is to conserve scenic views, the following <br /> criteria apply: <br /> • Leave scenic views and vistas unblocked or uninterrupted, particularly as seen from public <br /> roadways. Consider "no-build, no-plant" buffers along public roadways where views or <br /> vistas are prominent or locally significant. In wooded areas where enclosure is a feature to <br /> be maintained, consider a "no-build, no-cut" buffer created through the preservation of <br /> existing vegetation. <br /> Where development is located in unwooded areas clearly visible from existing public <br /> roads, it should be buffered from direct view by a vegetative buffer or an earth berm <br /> constructed to reflect the topography of the surrounding area. <br /> Protect rural roadside character and scenic views by providing larger lots (e.g., two acres <br /> or more)adjacent to existing public roads. <br />
