The item was tabled pending data <br /> collection concerning the number of subdivisions receiving <br /> sketch or preliminary plan approval prior to August 5. 1986, <br /> the date of adoption of the Joint Planning Area Plan and the <br /> establishment of the two-acre minimum lot size requirement <br /> in the Rural Buffer, <br /> NEED: The property in question is known as Lot 30B of Tax Map 117 <br /> in Chapel Hill Township. The developer (Calvin Mellott) is <br /> requesting approval of a preliminary plan the Mel-Oak <br /> Estates-Phase 4 to allow six lots, each approximately 40.000 <br /> square feet. The property is located in the Rural Buffer <br /> which presently requires a two acre minimum lot size. The <br /> developer is requesting the Planning Board to consider <br /> approval of the six-lot design since Mel-Oaks has been an <br /> on-going subdivision. <br /> Compliance with the two-acre minimum lot size would reduce <br /> the number of lots in Phase 4 to three. A plan showing <br /> Phase 4 designed to comply with the two acre minimum has <br /> been prepared. In both designs for Phase 4 Mel-Oaks Trail <br /> is constructed to State standards. <br /> The 6.3 acre tract is zoned R-1 and is located in the Uni- <br /> versity Lake Watershed. It is designated Rural Buffer and <br /> Protected Watershed II in the Joint Planning Land Use Plan. <br />
