23 <br /> EVALUATION SUMMARY: The subdivision is located in the Back Creek Watershed and the <br /> stream running through the property flows directly into Back Creek. Although the subdivision roads <br /> would be taken over by the State if they were built to their standards, the subdivision is located in a <br /> rural area of the County designated as Agricultural Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The <br /> subdivision proposes conservation easements along the stream and along High Rock Road, larger than <br /> required setbacks, and a park area to protect vegetation and a waterfall area. The private roads would <br /> also reduce the impervious surface area in the subdivision. Based on these factors the Staff <br /> recommends that the subdivision roads be private, except for the main entrance road, and constructed <br /> to Class A or Class B standards, as required for the number of lots to be served by the individual <br /> private roads. <br /> 4 <br />
