H WWh The Hillsborough resolution indicates that at least 30% of the development tract[255 of 850 acres] must consist of preserved open space. The Hillsborough "open space plan"consists of the following. Cad ni ' Area P�rimary 152 Secondary 133 Total 285 The Hillsborough "buildable area" thus consists of 541 acres (850 acres less the Total Conservation Area of 285 acres and railroad/street rights-of--way of 24 acres).By applying the density standard of 2.0 units/acre, the permitted number of dwelling units would be 1,082 (1.27 units/gross acre). Oranne County The County resolution indicates that at least 30% of the "buildable" land in the development tract must consist of preserved open space. The County"open space plan"consists of the following. n 'on Ana P�immY 152 Secondary 209 Total 361 "Buildable area" in the County plan is equal to 465 acres (850 acres less Primary/Secondary Conservation Areas totaling 361 acres and railroad/street rights-of- way of 24 acres). At a density of 2.0 units/acre, the permitted number of dwelling units under this definition would be 930 (1.1 units/gross acre). Aside from differences in open space acreage, units permitted, etc., there were real differences in the "types" of open space set aside by each team. These differences are highlighted on the attached summary sheet for "Secondary Conservation Areas" and summarized below. awsbarwurh Timm County Team Golf Course/Recreation Wildlife Corridor Landscape Buffers Old Farm Fields Viewshed Another option prepared at the request of a neighborhood resident was a "Staff Plan" which reflected the open space strategies of Randall Arendt. The plan was not recommended by staff but provided simply for comparison purposes. One aspect of the Staff'Plan does provide some indication of what might be possible under the"status quo";e.g.,single-family lots utilizing individual wells and septic tanks.A density standard of 1.83 acres per unit was used to calculate the number of units which might be possible under current ordinances. This standard is based on the average lot size (including street right-of-way)of subdivisions approved in Eno Township during the 1987- 1992 period When applied to the total site area,the number of units permitted would be 464 (850 divided by 1.83).This is equivalent to an overall density of 0.54 units/gross acre. An important point to remember is that the actual number of units Permitted can only be determined by on-site testine for suitable nitrification fields. Planning Group Recommendation. On March 9, the Planning Group sought to conclude its work by reaching consensus on the various options, including a"Conceptual Site Plan" submitted by the developer. Summarized below are the Planning Group's
