The property is a 14-acre property to be divided by creating two building sites, <br /> shared driveway, and a conservation outlot. The property owners also own the 20.5 acres located <br /> immediately east of this property. The total lot area owned in common is approximately 34.5 acres over <br /> three separate parcels. <br /> Weinberger noted a sketch plan review is required for this subdivision because the subdivision will <br /> require"flexible zoning". The flexible zoning for this application is a variance for land alteration and <br /> placement of a driveway within a designated wetland area and within 26 feet of the wetland. "The only <br /> land alteration and hardcover that will be located within the wetland is for the crossing. Staff has <br /> reviewed the access issue with the Applicants and has determined the proposed driveway access has the <br /> least impact on the wetland. There is no possible access to County Road 19 without crossing some part <br /> of the wetland. <br /> The proposed site plan meets all requirements for a front lot/back lot subdivision. The lot is in the <br /> RR-1B district,which requires a minimum lot size of two acres. The Applicants are proposing a plan <br /> that would create two building sites on the west property and create conservation land to the east that <br /> would not be developed. The conservation land would consist of five acres on the property being <br /> subdivided and the additional land to the east would be a dedicated conservation easement. The east <br /> parcel is approximately 20 acres in size. There are two dwelling units located on the 20 acre parcel,but <br /> this parcel is only used as one residential site. There is no intent to use the property for two separate <br /> residences. <br /> Staff recommends conceptual approval of the sketch plan subject to the conditions outlined in the <br /> Planner's Report. <br /> Mr. Pass stated it is their intent to preserve the land as much as possible by creating the conservation <br /> land. <br /> Hawn inquired whether the Applicants plan to live in the existing buildings. <br /> Pass stated they would use that land for themselves. <br /> PAGE 25 <br />
