9. 6.5.4.1 Fii~een foot wide pedes~ian easements are unnecessary. Ten feet is plenty wide. <br /> <br />Fifteen feet allows for a five foot paved path and five foot maintenance and landscaped area <br />on each side of the path. In addition, this would allow enough room for a vehicle to pass in <br />case of an emergency. <br /> <br />10. 6,5.5 Fees-In-Lieu of open space should be fled to a project that clearly serves timt <br /> neighborhood and if not then the fees should go back to the person that paid the fee not the new lot <br /> owners. I would )hlnl~ that the payment would also be supported by an approved plan that has <br /> determined the costs. <br /> <br />The County does have a Parks and Recreation plan and is in the process of updating that <br />plan. Within the plan, park districts are defined. Within the new plan, new districts are <br />being defined. In this voluntary Fee-In=Lieu option, monies paid will only be spent in the <br />park district in which the neighborhood is located. Fees should be refunded to the property <br />owner since those fees were passed on to them when they purchased the home or lot. The <br />new park plan will identify park costs. <br /> <br />11. Table 6.5-1 Mandatory open space requirements for medium sized and large lot developments are not <br /> necessary. These requirements axe taldn$ 8, 10, and 12 percent of usable land away. Allow <br /> developments to tailor their subdivisions to the market instead of taking away the property owner's <br /> land. <br /> <br />The proposed open space policies carry forward policies of each of the member jurisdictions. <br />The AG district is exempt from the standard unless they are doing a cluster subdivision. Not <br />all of the required open space is developable land, up to 25% can have very steep slopes, be <br />in wetlands, or water bodies, etc. <br /> <br />12. 6.6.5.2 While the maximum number of lots is reasonable, what happens for parcels of land that <br /> are' very linear and have no depth and a new road csnnot b~ built. <br /> <br />· They would need to request a subdivision exception and show that it is impossible to meet <br /> the standard. You could possibly do a parallel access road in the situation described. <br /> <br />13. 6.6.6.1.1 Typo. Table should be 6.6-2 not 11.2-2, I think. <br /> <br />· St~ffwill make the change. <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
