------- 12 . d. The clustering of dwelling units to preserve,- wildlife, botanical, historic, archaeological and/or recreation sites; (Individual lots with separate homesites are proposed. No clustering of units is proposed. ) 2 . The number, location and/or size of lots to be located in the subdivision are such that, even if constructed to State standards, the streets would not be accepted by the State for maintenance due to density or other State requirements; (When 4 lots are developed, the road would meet the minimum density required by the State. Refer to first staff evaluation comment. ) 3 .

Larger than required stream buffers and lot sizes, and/or other design features are proposed as part of a subdivision to be located in a Protected watershed as designated on the Orange County Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of impervious surface and cause infiltration of storm water runoff to prevent the pollution of water supply reservoirs. (Even though the property is not in a designated protected watershed on the Orange County Comprehensive Plan, a private road would reduce the amount of impervious surface and allow more infiltration of storm water runoff. ) EVALUATION SUMARY: Staff finds that the lot sizes, buffers, design, location and rural character of the surrounding area justify private roads.
