17 proposed cut de sac to be accepted by the State for maintenance. Refer to the Staff response regarding density requirements on page 1 .) 3 . Recreation and/or open space areas, inclu- ding lands containing significant botanical, wildlife, historic and/or archaeological sites, are to be dedicated and/or preserved through restrictive covenants in amounts significantly greater than required by standards for recreation/ open space dedication. (Eight acres of common open space adjacent to the ponds is proposed.) 4. Significantly larger than required stream buffers and lot sizes, and/or other design features are proposed as part of a subdi- vision to be located in a Protected Water- shed as designated on the Orange County Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of impervious surface and cause infiltration of storm water runoff to prevent the pollution of water supply reservoirs. (This subdivision is located in a the University Lake protected watershed. A private road creates less disturbance and less impervious surface than a public road.) 5. Topographic and environmental features, such as streams, steep slopes, or watersheds, that would be adversely affected by the use of roads constructed to State standards because of factors such as significant amounts of earthwork (cut and fill) that would contribute to increased runoff of stormwater and siltation. (Building the road to State standards would require grading significantly more area than with the proposed private road. The stream crossing may require a substantial bridge, if the road is approved as public.) 6. The site is already developed to 100% of the capacity which could be achieved after approval of the subdivision and some or all of the non-conforming aspects of existing development on the site will be made more conforming as a result of the proposed subdivision, and all conforming aspects of
