Delete ARTICLE 6.23 - Extra Requirements for Protected Watershed Districts (PW-II), <br /> ARTICLE 6.24 - Extra Requirements for Water Ouality Critical Areas, and ARTICLE <br /> 6.25 - Development Standards for the University Lake Watershed (ULW) District and <br /> replace with a new Article 6.23 - Extra Requirements for Watershed Protection Overlay <br /> Districts. <br /> The standards contained within the new Article 6.23 are proposed to be applied to 13 <br /> watershed protection overlay districts for the purpose of protecting public drinking water <br /> supplies in a manner at least as restrictive as that mandated by the Environmental <br /> Management Commission in carrying out the provisions of the Watersupply Watershed <br /> Protection Act of 1989. <br /> The lot size and impervious surface requirements proposed for the 13 Watershed <br /> Protection Overlay Districts are as follows: <br /> a. UNIV-CA No substantive change from the standards currently required by the <br /> University Lake Watershed Overlay District is proposed. <br /> b. UNIV-PW No substantive change from the standards currently required by the <br /> University Lake Watershed Overlay District is proposed. <br /> c. CANE-CA Two-acre minimum lot size and 6% impervious surface limit <br /> proposed. (No substantive change from the standards currently required by the <br /> Water Quality Critical Area (WQCA) Overlay District.) <br /> d. CANE-PW 40,000 square foot (.92 acre) minimum lot size and 12% impervious <br /> surface limit proposed. (No substantive change from the standards currently <br /> required by the Protected Watershed (PW-II) Overlay District.) Up to 5% of the <br /> 'CANE-PW overlay, if permitted by the underlying zoning district, may be <br /> developed for non-residential use with an impervious surface limit of 70%. <br /> e. U-ENO=CA Two-acre minimum lot size and 6% impervious surface limit <br /> proposed. Within the portion of U-ENO-CA in Cheeks and Hillsborough <br /> Townships, the proposed standards do not represent a substantive change from the <br /> standards currently required by the Protected Watershed Overlay(PW-II)District. <br /> Within the portion of U-ENO-CA in Cedar Grove Township, there is currently <br /> a 40,000 square foot minimum lot size and no impervious surface limit. <br /> 5 <br />
