Larger than required stream buffers and lot sizes, <br />and /or other design features are proposed as part <br />of a subdivision to be located in a Protected <br />Watershed as designated on the Orange County <br />Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of <br />impervious surface and cause infiltration of storm <br />water runoff to prevent the pollution of water <br />supply reservoirs. <br />(Stream buffers, if required, will be indicated on the <br />preliminary plan. The subdivision is also located in a <br />protected watershed and the private road would reduce <br />the amount of impervious surface.) <br />EVALUATION SUMMARY: The subdivision is in a rural portion of the Back <br />Creek Protected Watershed. Although lot sizes are not considerably <br />larger than required, the proposed subdivision contains six (6) lots <br />which cannot be re- subdivided. It is also located on a rural unpaved <br />State road with the surrounding area mostly wooded and rural in <br />character. The Planning Staff recommends that Melody Circle be private <br />and constructed to Class B standards. <br />
