15 <br /> SUMMARY OF PLANNING BOARD COMMENTS <br /> FLERIBLE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL <br /> NOVEMBER 11, 1994 <br /> At its November 7 special meeting, the Planning Board provided the following comments <br /> regarding the staff proposal: <br /> • Request funding from Board of Commissioners with which to complete inventory of <br /> natural areas, especially in northern portions of county. <br /> • Need to determine what features or resources are important and link incentives to their <br /> preservation. <br /> • Concern over eliminating wetlands and steep slopes "automatically" since such features <br /> were environmentally important and, in some cases, scenic. <br /> • Need to develop a package with simplicity and that is attractive in terms of incentives in <br /> order to get desirable development. <br /> • Develop a three-tiered classification system, including Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary <br /> Conservation Areas. Allow 100%, 75%, and 50% of the land in the three classes, <br /> respectively, to count toward satisfying the 33% open space requirement. <br />
