It is zoned Rural Buffer, Protected <br />Watershed II, and University Lake Watershed. The tract <br />is designated Rural Residential in the Joint Planning <br />Area Land Use Plan. Adjacent land uses are <br />residential. <br />The total acreage of the tract is 28.38 acres. Six (6) <br />new lots are proposed. one will be a 2 -acre lot; the <br />other five lots are approximately five acres each. <br />This division complies with the current ULW standards <br />which would have allowed a maximum density of five 2- <br />acre lots and three 5+ -acre lots to be proposed. <br />Individual wells and septic tanks are required. <br />A new Class B private road is proposed with the <br />applicant's private road justification included in the <br />attachments. The Planning Staff's evaluation of the <br />private road request follows the applicant'submittal. <br />The factors used to justify the private road are: <br />1. Larger lots than the minimum required; <br />2. Clustered units; <br />3. Restrictive covenants to provide tree protection <br />and prohibit further subdivision; <br />
