The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on August 30. 1990. There were no comments. The amendment was presented to the Planning Board on September 17, 1990. No action was taken at that time due to concern with item 2(b) of the proposal. Several members of the Planning Board felt that allowing any 30,000 square foot lots would conflict with watershed protection standards which may be adopted for Back Creek and Little River watersheds. The Planning Board again cited the potential for increased density in unzoned townships. On October 15, 1990, the Planning Board recommended approval of the following: IV -B -1 LOT STANDARDS 1 Lots served by individual sewage dis osal systems and-private or community-well-s--shall contain at least 40.1000 square feet. 2 Lots served by ubl'c water and ublic sewer shall contain at least 15,000 s uare feet. 3 Lots located within zoned townghij2s shall contain the minimum lot aLrga re i ed by the Orange-Count Zoning Ordi a ce. 4 Any lot which rov'd s an easement-for individual septic di§20sal for use by a different lot shall contain the minimum area required for that lot plus an additional 20.000 sauareJ feet to accommodate the se t'c easement. The portion of the amendment requiring that lots using an individual sewage disposal system and public water contain at least 30,000 square feet was not included in the recommendation. The Planning Board felt the issue could be reconsidered after the issues of watershed protection and zoning in the northern townships are addressed. The only substantive change recommended was (4) above, which pertains to the minimum size required for lots that provide a septic easement for another lot. All other revisions are for simplification of the text. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed amendments per the Planning Board recommendation. r 2 The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on August 30. 1990.
