Public water and sewer service is thus used <br /> as an incentive for conserving open space . <br /> The types of uses permitted within open-space area(s) can be found <br /> in DEFINITIONS (Section IV) at the end of this document. <br /> NOTE: Open-space projects in some water supply watersheds may have <br /> density or impervious surface limitations as per State watershed <br /> rules. <br /> OTHER DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS FOR SPECIAL CASES <br /> A.
