Open Space/Buffers 3 • Under the Estate Lot Option all open space is to be preserved in-lot via deed restrictions or through conservation easements. At least 50 percent of the lot areas must be preserved. These areas are identified on the preliminary plan and will be protected in the covenants and declarations recorded with the final plat. • ERCD has identified a small triangular portion of land in the southeastern corner of the proposal (i.e. Lot 8) that falls within a defined Wildlife Corridor as identified in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. This area will be designated and protected on the final plat and through the declaration of restrictive covenants. • 14.32 acres of in-lot open space are proposed; all of the open space is wooded. • These four lots, if approved, will be incorporated into the existing Homeowners Association that was created prior to the recordation of the previously approved minor subdivision. The supplemental declarations of restrictive covenants are under review by the County Attorney's office. Water-Sewer • Individual well • Individual septic systems and repair areas have received approval from Environmental Health (see agency comments). Parks and Recreation • Northern District Park The Parks and Recreation Advisory Council (PRAC) recommend that apayment-in-lieu rather than a public land dedication be provided. [4 lots x $455 per lot = $1820] The Parks and Recreation Advisory Council initially indicated that a mulched walking trail on the southern side of Sweetflag Lane would be an ideal private recreation amenity. After receiving additional information from the developer proposing an improved nature trail along the South Fork of Little River the Council subcommittee agreed that the trail along the South Forks of the Little River was the better alternative.
