Under the <br /> Rural Character proposal's sliding scale of density bonuses, the provision of 33% open space would <br /> be equivalent to a potential lot yield of 93 lots per 100 acres. The potential lot yield is derived first <br /> from the base zoning of two-acre minimum lots sizes proposed by the Committee(e.g., SO lots per 100 <br /> acres). Then, at least 20% open space must be set aside, and, in return, a density of 0.80 units per <br /> acre(e.g., 80 lots per 100 acres) is allowed. Since the scale provides for one additional lot for each <br /> one percent(1%)of open space provided above 20%, a development with 33% open space would be <br /> permitted a potential lot yield of 93 lots per 100 acres (80+13=93). <br /> e 8irra[:Chi ractcr: axxd p'l ri�ite::Dc►�el .rent: : . .:ales <br /> ...... <br /> . <br /> Development Opex Space <br /> Standards Development Option Cluster Option <br /> Where minimum lot size <br /> requirement is ... <br /> Lot Sue Required As small as 10,000 sq.ft.i. 40,000 sq.ft.1. 15,000 sq.ft. <br /> 20,000 sq.ft. 7,500 sq.ft. <br /> 10,000 sq.ft.

Under this scenario,approximately 50%of the land area would <br /> be preserved as open space. <br /> Flexible Development 17 <br />
