28 <br />3. Chart 1-B exhibits how the sliding scale applies to 12-lot subdivisions where the maximum <br />allowable density is one dwelling unit per two acres. (The maximum number of lots <br />permitted in a subdivision using private roads is twelve.) <br />Table used to produce Chart 1-B <br />A B C <br />C = 12 * B <br />(C/43560) D <br />D = A*E <br />(D/43560) E <br />E = C/(1-A) <br />(E/43560) <br /> <br /> <br />open <br />space Min. <br />Lot size <br />(sq. ft.) <br />Lots <br />(sq. ft.) <br />Lats <br />(acres) <br />,Open <br />Space Open <br />Space <br />(acres) <br />Total <br />(sq. ft.) <br />Total <br />(acres) <br /> <br />33 130,680 1,568;160 36.00 772,377 17.73 2,340,537 53.73 <br />40 94,807 1,137,600 26.12 758,400 17.41 1,896,000 43.53 <br />45 69,184 830,160 19,06 679,222 15.59 1,509,382 34.65 <br />50 43,560 522,720 12.00 522,720 12.00 1,045,440 24.00 <br />55 40,000 480,000 11.02 586,667 13.47 1,066,667 24.49 <br />4. Chart 2~B exhibits how the sliding scale applies to a 24-acre tract of land. The minimum <br />amount of land required fora 12-lot subdivision, using the sliding scale, is the acreage <br />required for 1-acre lots with 50% open space (24 acres). Application of the sliding scale <br />(for a subdivision with 1-acre lots) to a tract of land larger than 24 acres would create a <br />subdivision having either more than twelve lots or greater than 50% open space and would <br />not be a true comparison of the given options. <br />Table u sed to produce Chart 2-B. <br />A B C D E F G H <br /> <br /> Rounded E(43,560 (A'`E) / 43,560 <br /> down to sq.ft./acre) sq.ft./acre <br /> whole no. <br /> Minimum lot Number of Lots No. of Lots Total Total ~ Open Lots <br />Open size acres Area space (acres) <br />Space (sq. ft.)
