041 4 OUESTTONS AND ANSWFR OF CrARTFICATIO r Several men hers of the audience asked questions of clarification. The__e were 'an_swE.:red by Narvi._l, Collins. In answer to a question from Commissioner Lloyd, Collins explained the th=e 6% impervious ratio has no real relationship to the Rural Buff=. It would apply indirectly for Planned Developments through application of the open space ratio. It does not apply to individual lots. Collins explained that if there is a planned development in the Rural Buffer whereby cluster units are proposed, the two- acre mininnem would stilt` apply in terms of overall density. Collins explained that any plan that has not received preliminary plan approval or sketch plan approval in the case of phased developments where at least one phase has received preliminary plan approval, will be required to meat the two-acre minimum lot size if within the AR and R.1 district. Several in the audience expressed the fact that they knew nothing about any of th: informational meetings or public hearings that were held or tLe issues being discussed. Farvin Collins explained that what is being presented for public cont is a proposed zoning district designation. It has not existed before and the dimensional requirem nts that are being proposed have not exisl.e0 before. The two acre minimum lot size standard was approved as a part of the joint Planning Area Plan. y. .2r fie Collins explained that the extension of water and sewer will be cce,,:rolled by the two acre minimum lot size requirement in that such ext;:eeions are cost prohibitive for such large lots. COLIL; '_'1 UESTIONS FROM THE EOA!:r OF COMMISSIONERS OR PLANNING BOARD MEN In answer to a question from Commissioner Lloyd, Collins stated that the extension of water and sewer into the Rural Buffer will be prevented from reaching that area. If water and sewer were allowed in the RB, there would be a great deal of pressure to develop and the very low density area that would be achieved by this change would be lost. Collins explained that if a person owned three acres and wanted to subdivide, that each lot would need to have 1.6 acres or 80% of the two acre minimum lot size requirement. It would have to meet the 200 foot width requirement -- 80% of which_.would be 160 feet. Chair Don Willhoit made reference to the number of lots that would be mn.caL nonconforming and eeked if it was absolutely required that the Zoninc; Ordimif ce be amended to be consistent with the Land use Plan in regard or could it be just a part of the Land Use Plan and applied • p -:Os.icct:ively to sebdi.:Tisions. Collins indicated it could be done but there would forever be a contradiction in the standards contained in the two ordinances and the Land Erse Plan.
