significantly greater than required by standards for recreation /open space dedication. (Recreation /open space dedication is not required. No common open space is proposed.) 4. Significantly larger than required stream buffers and lot sizes, and /or other design features are proposed as part of a subdi- vision to be located in a Protected Water- shed 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. (This subdivision is not located in a protected watershed. The stream buffer shown is 25 feet larger than the minimum required. required by the Zoning Ordinance. The 4 of The lot sizes are also larger to allow for more stormwater infiltration. Limiting clearing will also help protect water quality.) 5. Topographic and environmental features, such as streams, steep slopes, or watersheds, that would be adversely affected by the use of roads constructed to State standards because of factors such as significant amounts of earthwork (cut and fill) that would contribute to increased runoff of stormwater and siltation. (Building the road to State standards would increase grading and impervious surface as well as eliminate more trees.) EVALUATION SUMMARY: Only one new lot is proposed on an existing Class B Road. Protected Watershed. Lot sizes and the stream buffer are larger than the minimum required. The average lot size is more than twice as large as the minimum. Restrictive covenants will protect existing trees and prohibit further subdivision. The subdivision will not be visible from Dodsons Crossroads. Other subdivisions in the area are served by private roads. The Planning Staff recommends that Falling Cedars Drive remain as a Class B private road. 12 S
