6. The site is already developed to 100% of the capacity which could be 13 <br /> achieved after approval of the subdivision and some or all of the non- <br /> conforming aspects of existing development on the site will be made <br /> more conforming as a result of the proposed subdivision, and all <br /> conforming aspects of the development will remain conforming. <br /> (Not applicable.) <br /> 7. There is only one subdivision road proposed. Its length does not <br /> exceed 350 feet. It serves no more than five lots. Its grade does not <br /> exceed nine percent. The land being subdivided is not connected to or <br /> is part of another subdivision required to be served by public roads. In <br /> addition, the average lot size within the subdivision is at least 40,000 <br /> square feet. <br /> (Not applicable.) <br /> EVALUATION SUMMARY: The subdivision is located in the Back Creek Watershed and <br /> the streams running through the property flows into Back Creek. Although one of the <br /> subdivision roads would be taken over by the State if it was built to their standards, the <br /> subdivision is located in a rural area of the County designated as Agricultural Residential in <br /> the Comprehensive Plan. The subdivision proposes large lots along the stream, and large <br /> stream buffers. The private roads would also reduce the impervious surface area in the <br /> subdivision. Based on these factors the Staff recommends that the subdivision roads be <br /> private and constructed to Class B and C standards. <br /> 4 <br />
