t <br /> 045 <br /> OPEN-SPACE DEVELOPMENT AREA.Identifies areas adjacent to Urban or Transition areas <br /> which are generally non-urban in character and which will remain as such. Land in this <br /> category will generally contain low-density residential uses(e.g.,no more than two units per <br /> acre)which may be served by individual wells and septic tanks or by public water and sewer. <br /> Public water and sewer would be an option available to large-scale developments, or a <br /> combination of small developments. All open space residential development with density <br /> greater than one unit per two acres would be required to set aside and preserve significant <br /> amounts of open space (e.g., at least 30 percent of the total project acreage or, another <br /> option under consideration,at least 30 percent of the developable area of the project after <br /> certain undevelopable open space areas such as wetlands and steep slopes are excluded).The <br /> applied zoning district would be OSD (Open Space Development). <br /> ORDINANCE REVIEW CObDIITTEE: <br /> PLANNING BOARD REVIEW: <br /> BOARD OF CONMMSIONERS REVIEW: <br />
