If approved the Concept Plan serves as a ‘roadmap’ for the developer with respect to the acceptable lot and road layout as well as location of proposed/required open space and recreation areas. • Third Action – Once a concept plan is approved, the Planning Board reviews and makes a recommendation on the approval of the Preliminary Plat for the project. • Fourth Action – The BOCC reviews and take action on the Preliminary Plat application. • Fifth Action – Once all construction activities have been completed, or appropriate bonds have been approved, staff will sign off and allow the recordation of a Final Plat allowing for the individual lots to be created. Proposal: The petitioner has submitted a Major Subdivision Concept Plan application proposing to develop a maximum of 16 single-family residential lots with an overall gross density for the project of 1 dwelling unit per every 2.9 acres of land area with approximately 15 acres of dedicated open space. Proposed lots range in size from 1.18 acres (smallest) to 2.18 acres (largest). It should be noted the original application called for the creation of 17 lots. After comments received at the NIM, as well as a reassessment of access management issues and stormwater requirements, the applicant voluntarily chose to eliminate 1 proposed lot towards the intersection of Paper Birch Lane and Pleasant Green Road. This area is denoted on Sheet C-2 as being ‘Reserve Space’. The applicant has determined what the final use/disposition of this area will be. Please note required open space area is met without inclusion of this aforementioned area. UDO Requirements: Per Section 2.15.2 (C) (2) (b) of the UDO, major subdivision concept plan applications are required to submit both a conventional and flexible development option. The flexible development option involves the preservation of a minimum 33% of the total tract’s land area as protected open space. Development of individual lots is then allowed consistent with three ‘flexible development’ subdivision classifications detailed within Article 7 Subdivisions of the UDO, namely: • Estate Lot Option: Characterized by lots having a minimum area of 4 acres where the building envelope does not exceed 50% of the total lot area. • Conservation Cluster Option: Characterized by lots clustered together with a potential minimum lot area of 40,000 square feet. Allowable lot yield is based on compliance with density limits denoted within Section 4.2.4 of the UDO and as found in Section 6, Joint Planning Land Use Plan. • Village Option: Allows for mixed-use development including various residential options (i.e. single-family, multi-family, townhome, etc.) as well as public/civic areas and non-residential development. This option is expressly prohibited within the RB zoning district as detailed within Section 7.13.2 (C) of the UDO. As previously indicated, the applicant has decided to submit a conservation cluster flexible development layout with proposed lots adhering to the 40,000 square foot lot size, consistent with the R-1 general use zoning district guidelines, and proposing approximately 15.3 acres of open space. A summary of the proposal is as follows: Subdivision Type Number of Lots Average Lot Size Area in Open Space (Proposed) Open Space Percentage 31
