2 <br />Tony Blake asked how it would affect the buffers. Patrick Mallett advised that it wouldn’t to begin with because minor 55 <br />subdivisions don’t have that but the trade off is the open space requirement. Tony Blake mentioned subdivisions that aren’t 56 <br />finished yet and asked if they would be able to convert the remaining space to something like this. Patrick Mallett answered 57 <br />that what’s likely to drive that is the soil and whether the subdivisions were built on private or public roads. Patrick also 58 <br />informed him that the road is cumulative and that’s why 12 is the cap and if you go above 12 you have to have a public road. 59 <br />Michael Harvey added that it would be on a case-by-case basis for a multitude of reasons. 60 <br /> 61 <br />Craig Benedict added that the examples being presented are just graphics and it’s likely these clusters will not be so close to 62 <br />the road. The idea is to create more open space and give it rural character. 63 <br /> 64 <br />Patrick Mallett concluded presentation 65 <br /> 66 <br />Rachel McCook presented 67 <br /> 68 <br />Lydia Wegman asked if they’ve gotten feedback from developers.
