Some conservation design strategies include: identifyi ng and avoiding sensit ive natural features, p lanning roads along contours, allowing lots to border natura l open space, integrating ecological stormwater management, using sma ll er lots, and educating developer and buyers about the ecological values of the landscape. The first phase entails an inventory and ana l ysis of the potential development site's natural features, existing land uses , and wetland delineation. The second phase entails ana lyzing the design impl ications of the findings from the in itial phase, alternative stormwater design, and a conceptual design for road and lot layouts.
