The first involves interpre- <br />tation of the Schedule of Required Land Use Buffers as <br />it applies to subdivisions in the unzoned townships. <br />The second amendment to Section IV -B -8 will clarify <br />the purpose of the buffer waiver provisions and extend <br />the scope of IV -B -8 -g to include waivers for other <br />landscape requirements contained in the Subdivision <br />Regulations. <br />The amendments to Section IV -B -8 were presented at <br />public hearing on February 26, 1990. No citizen <br />comments were received at that time. <br />The Planning Board considered the proposed amendments <br />on March 19, 1990, and recommended approval. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed <br />amendments to Section IV -B -8 of the Subdivision <br />Regulations. <br />
