Sawmill Road West <br /> is a paved State-maintained secondary road. Approximately <br /> twenty-seven (27) acres are proposed to be developed out <br /> of a 77 . 8 acre tract. Twelve (12) lots are proposed with <br /> lot sizes ranging from 2 . 00 acres to 3 . 12 acres. The <br /> average lot size is 2 . 23 acres. <br /> The property is not zoned. It is designated Agricultural <br /> Residential and Protected Watershed in the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. A private Class A road is proposed to serve all 12 <br /> lots. The private road is justified with twice the <br /> minimum lot size required, larger than required setbacks <br /> and a large stream buffer. <br /> Lots will be served by individual wells and septic tanks. <br /> All lots would receive access from the subdivision road. <br /> A 1991 traffic count on Sawmill Road West indicated 700 <br /> trips per day. <br /> The Planning Board reviewed the Concept Plan for Grassy <br /> Creek at its June 21, 1993 meeting. The plan was approved <br /> with a Class A private road and the following condition: <br /> 1. All lots shall receive access from the interior <br /> subdivision road. <br />
