The "estate lot" option is modeled in part on the Land Preservation District Zoning Provisions of <br /> Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.It is also based on the "conventional large lot development"option <br /> recommended as part of the Conceptual Guidelines for Rural Orange. The estate lot option has been <br /> added to allow undisturbed open space on estate lots to be credited toward meeting the open space <br /> requirement. <br /> The following table compares basic "estate lot"provisions with those of the "conventional large lot <br /> development"option. One difference is the lack of a specific open space set aside requirement for the <br /> "large lot"option, relying instead on the defacto provision of open space by the lot owner. <br /> Another difference is the reliance on conventional building setback requirements in the "large lot" <br /> option. Estate lots must provide a "building envelope"which generally results in larger setbacks than <br /> achieved through conventional setback provisions. Provision is also made for relaxation of lot width <br /> and frontage requirements provided broad design standards are met. <br /> .... ..... . <br /> qtr d. 8ttr _Clftartiu i' wW r ­ffik%A�ew: tip Wns <br /> Go�rPa+7 f <br /> Conventional Large Lot <br /> Developmest Standards Devdopwent Option Estate Lot Option <br /> Lot Site Required 4.59-acre average At least 4.0 acres <br /> None At least 50% of lot area must <br /> Open Space Required be set aside as open space <br /> Up to 21 lots per 100 Up to 25 lots per 100 acres <br /> Potential Lot veld acres (Density = 0.25 units per <br /> (Density = 0.21 units per acre) <br /> acre) <br /> Front yard 40 feet See standards above and on <br /> Dimmional Standards Side yard 20 feet preceding page <br /> Rear yard 20 feet <br /> Lot width 150 feet <br /> Flexible Development 8 <br />
