2 remaining 15 lots ranged in size from two to five acres, with the larger of the residential lots located adjacent to and west of the stream. The applicant also proposed a 5-acre park in the northwest corner of the property and a stream buffer of 100' on the east side of the stream and 150' on the west side of the stream. Restrictive covenants would prohibit any clearing or development in the buffer. The main entrance road into the subdivision was proposed to be public, with most of the individual lots served by one of four Class B private roads which access to the public entrance road. The private, road standards of the Subdivision Regulations require that a private road serve no more than 25 lots. The main entrance road into the subdivision must be public because the portion between High Rock Road and roads A and B will serve more that 25 lots. In most cases, either public or private roads are recommended within a subdivision, but not both. In this case, the Planning Board found in the Concept Plan review that private road justification criteria were met through a combination of the average lot size and setbacks, both of which are significantly greater than the minimum required, the preservation of a wooded area in the vicinity of the creek on the western portion of the property, and restrictive covenants which require approval of all development and clearing by a review board made up of the builder and developer. A pedestrian/equestrian easement was proposed within the stream buffer which would intersect with an existing pedestrian easement in the Spoon Lake Subdivision to the south. Access to the 5-acre private park site (which includes a waterfall) would thus be provided to residents of both subdivisions. The applicant has indicated that a review board made up of the developer and builder would examine all site plans and house plan elevations to optimize the effect of climatic conditions (prevailing winds, solar access, shade, etc. ) minimize disturbance and clearing in areas containing hardwoods and other significant vegetation types, and assure consistency in architectural style. On April 18, 1994, the Planning Board approved the Concept Plan for Hannah Creek subject to the following conditions: 1. Submit restrictive covenants, homeowners association documents and private road maintenance agreement documents for review with the Preliminary Plan. Provision for a review board which examines all site plans and house plan elevations to optimize the effect of climatic conditions (prevailing winds, solar access, shade, etc. ) and minimize
