(The property is located in a designated watershed. There is one stream 26 <br /> located on the property which runs along the eastern property line. A large <br /> 125' buffer has been proposed along this stream. A private Class A road is <br /> proposed. Building the road to State standards would require grading more <br /> area than with the proposed private road.) <br /> 6. The site is already developed to 100% of the capacity which could be <br /> achieved after approval of the subdivision and some or all of the non- <br /> conforming aspects of existing development on the site will be made <br /> more conforming as a result of the proposed subdivision, and all <br /> conforming aspects of the development will remain conforming. <br /> (Not applicable) <br /> 7. There is only one subdivision road proposed. Its length does not <br /> exceed 350', it serves no more than five (5) lots, its grade does not <br /> exceed 9%, and the land being subdivided is not connected to or part of <br /> another subdivision required to be served by public roads. In addition, <br /> the average lot size within the subdivision is at least 40,000 square feet. <br /> (Not applicable) <br /> EVALUATION SUMMARY: The subdivision is located in the Little River Watershed. <br /> Although the subdivision road would be taken over by the State if it were built to their <br /> standards, the subdivision is located in a rural area of the County designated as Agricultural <br /> Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The subdivision proposes large lots, larger than <br /> required setbacks, and a large stream buffer along the eastern side of the property. The <br /> private road would reduce the impervious surface. Based on these factors the staff <br /> recommends that the subdivision road be private and constructed to Class A standards. <br /> 4 <br />
