1 that they will pave a section of a road if it is at all possible. John Link pointed out that if they can get all

10 Commissioner Halkiotis suggested that DOT check to see if some of the right-of-way is
11 already dedicated as right-of-way and recorded as such. Mr. Watkins said that they do not get into a lengthy

26 IX. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA
27 A. PROPOSED SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS TEXT AMENDMENTS
28 FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENTIOPEN SPACE PROPOSAL
29 Marvin Collins presented for consideration a list of recommended revisions to the
30 proposed Flexible Development open space preservation strategies which were presented at public hearing
31 on November 27, 1995. These revisions are a result of comments from members of the Board of
32 Commissioners, Planning Board members and citizens. He also mentioned that other items under discussion
33 were groundwater impacts, community wastewater disposal systems and the village option. Information on
34 both of those concerns indicates that in terms of densities in clusters, part of the flexible development
35 provisions allow off-site septic easements. As those provisions are utilized, the same dispersion of well sites
36 as with one acre clusters will occur. The concerns regarding groundwater withdrawal and cluster
37 developments with 1/2 acre lots could be addressed in much the same manner as conventional subdivisions.
38 Staff feels that ample opportunity has been given for citizens and the Planning Board to comment and that it
39 is not necessary to solicit further comment on the village options. The village option, if used, would require
40 more than 33% open space. The larger the development the more open space would be required. The
41 Administration's recommendation is to approve the proposal, including the revisions that have been
42 recommended. The presentation was completed and he requested questions from the Board of
43 Commissioners and Planning Board members. Responses to those questions follows:
44
45 In answer to a question from Commissioner Gordon about locational provisions for villages, Marvin
46 Collins said that villages are one of the flexible development options and as such are allowed anywhere in
47 the County. However, in rural areas which rely on septic systems, the yield plan would determine how many
48 units would be allowed in the village. A village which intended to take advantage of density bonus provisions
49 would be allowed only in transit corridors, utility service areas, etc. There is a ceiling on the density in terms
50 of how many units a village would have. It is structured that way so that a "University Station" could not be
51 located in Cedar Grove Township. The ceiling is controlled by the Zoning Ordinance in the Density Bonus
52 provisions.
53
54 Commissioner Gordon asked if a developer would be allowed to ask for water and sewer if they had
55 sufficient density. Marvin replied that would be permitted only if the development was located in the
