a. A 100-foot buffer from all adjacent property lines; or <br />b. A 200-foot buffer from all existing residential dwellings within an abutting residential <br />development, whichever is greater. <br />c. The buffer shall not be a part of a buildable lot. <br />4) Identification of preferred building pad locations. Building pad locations, up to the maximum <br />number of units permitted by LEC 105.12.1050(a), which preserve natural topography and <br />drainageways, minimize tree loss, protect historic sites or structures, and limit the need for soil <br />removal and/or grading shall then be identified. The orientation of individual building sites shall <br />maintain maximum natural topography and ground cover. <br />a. Building pads shall be located outside of required buffers, and shall be sited so as to provide <br />ample room for accessory structures on each proposed lot. <br />b. If individual septic tanks and drain fields for each lot are to be utilized, locations for <br />primary and secondary facilities for each proposed building pad shall also be identified. <br />All such sites must be verified as being viable as a component of PUD preli minary plan <br />review. <br />c. If individual septic tanks utilizing communal drain fields is intended, the plan must clearly <br />identify which communal drain field will service each of the proposed building pads. <br />5) Placement of streets. <br />a. Streets shall then be designed and located in such a manner as to: <br />1. Maintain and preserve natural topography, groundcover, significant landmarks, <br />historic barns, and trees; <br />2. Minimize cut and fill; <br />3. Preserve and enhance both internal and external views and vistas; <br />4. Promote road safety; <br />5. Ensure adequate access for fire and rescue vehicles; and <br />6. Ensure and promote adequate vehicular circulation both within the development <br />and with adjacent neighborhoods. <br />b. The design of streets and the dedication of right-of-way shall be in compliance with the <br />city's current engineering design standards and specifications as may be amended. 28-foot- <br />wide streets with parking on one side are permitted. <br />c. Streets shall not encroach into a required buffer area unless it can be demonstrated that <br />such an alignment is necessary to achieve the goals outlined above, and that no equivalent <br />option exists outside of the buffer. Driving surfaces that cross the buffer area at a 90 degree <br />angle to provide current or future access to an adjacent property or boundary road shall be <br />the only exception. <br />6) Lot creation. Based on the street locations, building pad locations, and septic system locations; <br />lines to delineate individual lots shall then be identified in accordance with the following: <br />a. Lots. <br />1. Single-family lots being served by individual septic tanks and drain fields shall be <br />a minimum of one acre in size; <br />2. Single-family lots being served by individual septic tanks utilizing communal <br />drain fields shall be a minimum of one-half acre (21,780 square feet) 16,000 <br />square feet in size with a 100’ minimum lot width and 160’ minimum lot depth. <br />Lots designed with rear-loaded parking through a secondary access (alley), may <br />reduce the required minimum front lot width to 80’. <br />3. All land reserved for communal septic system use shall be located within a <br />dedicated outlot to be owned by the homeowners' association (HOA) of the <br />development; and <br />4. Base lots for townhomes shall be large enough such that individual unit lots can <br />meet all required structure setbacks contained herein.
