developments. <br />Flexible site design with narrower right-of-way widths and reduced setbacks allows Saddle Club <br />Fourth Addition to develop a residential conservation subdivision and construct a multi- <br />functional greenway corridor and storm water management system. Some lots may be custom <br />graded for custom built homes. This will also preserve desirable natural resources and trees. <br />c. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing <br />vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil <br />erosion. <br />Wetland buffers and conservation easements will protect the wetland vegetation areas. The seed <br />bank existing in the wetland soils supports rare plant species. Tops soils that are removed from <br />the wetland buffer areas shall be returned to the same area to the greatest extent as possible. <br />d. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and <br />orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. <br />Saddle Club Fourth Addition connects the Foxborough and Saddle Club conservation <br />subdivisions and provides a contiguous multi functional greenway corridor by integrating the <br />stormwater management system, wetland management and open space areas and trails into one <br />unified system. <br />e. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby <br />lowering development costs and public investments. <br />Reduced right-of-way widths and setbacks provide an efficient use of land and lowers <br />development and public investments. <br />f. Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through <br />the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations. <br />Strict application of a 60 foot right-of-way width and 30 foot setback would result in greater <br />impacts to the wetlands and natural resources. <br />Preliminary Plat <br />Per Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision: <br />(1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature pursuant to the <br />following criteria shall be denied by the City Council. <br />(2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision. A subdivision may be deemed <br />premature should any of the following conditions not be met. <br />(a) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Including any of the following: <br />1. Land use plan; <br />2. Transportation plan; <br />3. Utility (sewer and water) plans; <br />2 <br />
