D � e • • a C� 221 park/open space purposes. This item will be considered by the Board of Commissioners at its February 1 , 1988 meeting. Jacobs asked if the County could use restrictive covenants to prevent further subdivision of previously subdivided lots. Collins responded in general , no and referenced the County Attorney ' s letter as follows: In making that determination the County should be looking for subdivisions which, among other things, "preserve a natural area through deed restrictions and special design features. " To satisfy that requirement, a developer could propose a private road subdivision with restrictive covenants which both limit lot size and prohibit future subdivision of the lots. Collins continued that the condition for private roads is the best way at this time to prevent further subdivision . Jacobs continued asking about the reference to Lot #2 as a flag lot in the Planning Board minutes of April 16, 1984. Collins responded that flag lots are currently restricted under the ordinance. He indicated the only areas likely to have flag lots are the two northern townships where the minimum frontage requirement is twenty feet. He indicated that the proposals to the Ordinance Review Committee are to allow flag lots where property constraints are such that a flag lot would be the only way for access to a buildable area of the lot. MOTION: Margison moved approval with the Staff condition. Seconded by Eddleman. Best asked about the location of the driveway. Kirk demonstrated the location of the driveway on the plat. Pilkey commented that the proximity to other Jurisdictions and consistency of regulations needed to be addressed. VOTE: Unanimous. AGENDA ITEM #7 : MATTERS HEARD AT 11/23/87 PUBLIC HEARING a.
