14 <br /> 2. The number, location and/or size of lots to <br /> be located in the subdivision are such <br /> that, even if constructed to State stan- <br /> dards, the streets would not be accepted by <br /> the State for maintenance due to density or <br /> other State requirements; <br /> (A minimum of four lots is required for a <br /> cul de sac to be accepted by the State for <br /> maintenance. Provided permanent residences <br /> are constructed and occupied on at least <br /> four lots that access the road, it would be <br /> eligible for State maintenance. Refer to <br /> the Staff response regarding density <br /> requirements on pages 1 and 2 .) <br /> 3 . Recreation and/or open space areas, includ- <br /> ing lands containing significant botanical, <br /> wildlife, historic and/or archaeological <br /> sites, are to be dedicated and/or preserved <br /> through restrictive covenants in amounts <br /> significantly greater than required by <br /> standards for recreation/open space <br /> dedication. <br /> (Recreation/open space dedication is not <br /> required. No common open space is <br /> proposed.) <br /> 4. Significantly larger than required stream <br /> buffers and lot sizes, and/or other design <br /> features are proposed as part of a subdi- <br /> vision to be located in a Protected Water- <br /> shed as designated on the Orange County <br /> Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of <br /> impervious surface and cause infiltration <br /> of storm water runoff to prevent the <br /> pollution of water supply reservoirs. <br /> (This subdivision is not located in a <br /> protected watershed.) <br /> 5. Topographic and environmental features, <br /> such as streams, steep slopes, or <br /> watersheds, that would be adversely <br /> affected by the use of roads constructed to <br /> State standards because of factors such as <br /> significant amounts of earthwork (cut and <br /> fill) that would contribute to increased <br /> runoff of stormwater and siltation. <br /> (Building the road to State standards <br /> would require grading more area than with <br />
