{ <br /> 2 <br /> • June, 1994 - A proposal to rezone the remaining portion of the county to <br /> require two-acre minimum lot sizes is presented at public hearing. Citizen <br /> comment is also requested on the desirability of clustering, mandatory <br /> open space requirements, and density bonuses. <br /> • July-October, 1995 - The Planning Board reviews all materials/evidence <br /> received, including the Rural Character Study Committee <br /> recommendations (January, 1993), and prepares recommendation. <br /> The Planning Staff has reviewed the material produced and/or received, including <br /> comments provided by citizens through township meetings and public hearings. <br /> While a variety of approaches and options exist, the three basic approaches which <br /> have been recommended to date include: <br /> • The Rural Character Study Committee recommendations; <br /> • The "Status Quo"; and <br /> • A "Cluster Option" incorporating a mandatory 50% open space <br /> requirement and density limits based on the carrying capacity of the soils. <br /> SUNEViARY OF STAFF PROPOSAL: In an effort to focus the discussion and <br /> "balance" the many interests expressed to date, the Planning Staff has prepared <br /> this proposal which consists of three parts. The first section contains "Goals and <br /> Action Strategies" (as recommended by the Rural Character Study Committee). <br /> The second section contains a "Flexible Development" option which contains the <br /> following provisions: <br /> • The existing one-acre minimum lot size requirement would be retained. <br /> • The provision of open space would be optional, however, a developer <br /> would be required to submit two concept plans - one for a conventional <br /> subdivision and another for a "flexible" or open space subdivision. <br /> • If a Flexible Development option is chosen, at least one-third (33%)of the <br /> land within a subdivision must be preserved as open space which may be <br /> preserved through: <br /> • An "estate lot" approach where all land is subdivided into lots four <br /> (4) acres or greater in size, building limits (50%) are established <br /> for each lot, and the open space outside such limits is preserved <br /> through restrictive covenants and/or conservation easements; or <br /> • A "conservation" approach where all land is subdivided into lots, <br /> and open space is preserved through the use of conservation <br /> easements held by the County or a land conservancy; or <br /> • A "cluster" approach where lot sizes are reduced and the land <br /> saved through such reductions is dedicated to the County or a land <br /> conservancy, or owned and maintained by a homeowners' <br /> association; or <br />
