f � <br /> 20 <br /> shed as designated on the Orange County <br /> Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of <br /> impervious surface and cause infiltration <br /> of storm water runoff to prevent the <br /> pollution of water supply reservoirs. <br /> (This subdivision is located in a the <br /> University Lake protected watershed. A <br /> private road would create less disturbance and <br /> less impervious surface than a public road.) <br /> 5. Topographic and environmental features, <br /> such as streams, steep slopes, or <br /> watersheds, that would be adversely <br /> affected by the use of roads constructed to <br /> State standards because of factors such as <br /> significant amounts of earthwork (cut and <br /> fill) that would contribute to increased <br /> runoff of stormwater and siltation. <br /> (Building the road tolState standards would <br /> require grading significantly more area than <br /> with the proposed private road. The road <br /> is also within 300 feet of a perennial <br /> stream.) <br /> 6. The site is already developed to 100% of <br /> the capacity which could be achieved after <br /> approval of the subdivision and some or all <br /> of the non-conforming aspects of existing <br /> development on the site will be made more <br /> conforming as a result of the proposed <br /> subdivision, and all conforming aspects of <br /> the development will remain conforming. <br /> (Not applicable.) <br /> 7. There is only one , subdivision road <br /> proposed. Its length does not exceed 350 <br /> feet. It serves no more than five lots. <br /> Its grade does not exceed nine percent. <br /> The land being subdivided is not connected <br /> to or is part of another subdivision <br /> required to be served by public roads. In <br /> addition, the average lot size within the <br /> subdivision is at least 40,000 square feet. <br /> (Not applicable.) <br /> i <br /> EVALUATION SUNKARY: The proposed p�ivate road is justified <br /> through larger lots, protection of �iatural features, and <br /> restrictive covenants. In addition the subdivision is <br /> located in a protected watershed. whore disturbance and <br />
