It is not located in a <br /> protected watershed. <br /> The Preliminary Plan includes a cluster subdivision <br /> with 8 one-acre lots and almost 12 acres (55%) in open <br /> space. Houses will be clustered on the ridge top near <br /> the new road. <br /> The applicant's narrative describing the cluster <br /> subdivision is attached. The open space is <br /> characterized by mature hardwood forest with <br /> steep slopes and intermittent streams on the northern <br /> half of the parcel. A 10-foot pedestrian easement is <br /> proposed south of lot 5 to allow residents access to <br /> the open space from the cul de sac. <br />
