Resources protected as in present manner. OPTION B. Allows for five-acre lot developments, treated as Minor Subdivisions, with an expedited and simplified subdivision review process (staff approval) , private roads, and lower fees as incentives . Resources protected as in present manner. OPTION C. Allows for clustered 1-acre lot developments with 40% open space. OPTION D. Allows for a planned developments with a density of 0 . 72 (72 units per 100 acres) and 67% open space. OPTION E. Allows for development of a Rural Village, with a density of 0 . 84 (84 units per 100 acres) , 80% open space and minimum of 200 acres in size. Use of transferred development rights would be required in order to utilize this option. 2 ) The Committee recommends that four of these five development options be a matter of right for the property owner. Option E would be allowed as per item 3) below: 3) The Committee finds that Option E is significantly different from the other options, and should therefore be permitted with the following conditions: a. There should be a minimum tract size of 200 acres . b. Public water and sewer extension should be required for Option E, developments . Such lines should be adequately sized and limited to serve the village only. 1•
