• 5 <br /> * Will clustering be allowed only where conventional sewage collection service (by <br /> OWASA)can be provided? Or should clustering be allowed everywhere, on <br /> alternative treatment systems,provided that there is some public program for <br /> their inspection and maintenance (or operation)? (See also Utility Service Options) <br /> * Clustering ordinances need to be written to ensure that the clustering of <br /> dwelling units occurs away from water courses and other sensitive areas, and that <br /> the open space preserved as part of a clustered development is preserved in <br /> perpetuity. <br /> • Where developments are not clustered, is it acceptable for the overall density of <br /> a parent tract to be the controllirig factor, such that there could be ten acre lots and <br /> two acre lots in a subdivision so long as the overall density does not exceed one <br /> unit per five acres? If the overall density approach is taken,should density <br /> calculations take the area in roads into account,or should roads not be included in <br /> the calculation of the overall density of a tract? <br /> * Should there be additional limits on commercial and industrial uses in the <br /> University Lake Watershed? <br /> * Is a joint land use plan for the watershed area desired? Is such a plan necessary <br /> in order to implement any Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)program as made <br /> be established? (See also Equity) Which jurisdiction should take the lead role? <br /> * Should the local jurisdictions phase in various regulatory and programmatic <br /> options? (See also Timing) <br /> II UTILITY SERVICE OPTIONS <br /> * Will public water and sewer extensions be permitted in the watershed? Should <br /> extensions be permitted only to allow clustering? If extensions are permitted,in <br /> what portion of the watershed will they be permitted? How will that be <br /> determined? <br /> * Should clustering be permitted only on public water and sewer systems,or is the <br /> expectation that clustering will occur also on alternative treatment systems? If <br /> permitted only on public water and sewer systems, should clustering be allowed <br /> only where conventional service is immediately feasible,or also where such service <br /> is eventually likely? (See also Land Use) <br /> • If public water and sewer service is permitted in the watershed,how can the <br /> extension capacity be limited, in order to control the resulting development <br /> potential? <br /> 4 <br /> • <br />
