(b) If individual septic tanks which utilize a communal drain field (or fields) is the chosen methodology to serve the development, then the location(s) for communal drain fields shall be identified within the area(s) deemed the most suitable on the site for supporting septic utilities according to the soils analysis. All such areas shall be clearly denoted on provided plan sets. (3) Identification of Required Buffers No build zones from each property boundary shall be derived as follows: (a) A two -hundred (200) foot buffer from all adjacent property lines that abut an existing residential development or a parcel of land not eligible for future development as an open space planned unit development due to insufficient parcel area. (b) A one -hundred (100) foot buffer from all adjacent property lines that abut land that is eligible for future development as an open space planned unit development. (c) If the development site is adjacent to an existing or approved OP development, the required buffer shall be equivalent to the buffer that was required of the adjacent development [see § 154.035(B)]. (4) Identification of Preferred Building Pad Locations Building pad locations [up to the maximum number of units permitted by 154.657(A)] which preserve natural topography and drainageways, minimize tree loss, protect historic sites or structures, and limit the need for soil removal and/or grading shall then be identified. The orientation of individual building sites shall maintain maximum natural topography and ground cover. (a) Building pads shall be located outside of required buffers, and shall be sited so as to provide ample room for accessory structures on future lots. (b) If individual septic tanks and drain fields for each lot are to be utilized, locations for primary and secondary facilities for each proposed building pad shall also be identified. Generalized locations for such may be shown during the PUD Sketch Plan phase, but all such sites must be verified as being viable as a component of PUD Preliminary Plan review. (c) If individual septic tanks utilizing communal drain fields is intended, the plan must clearly identify which communal drain field will service each of the proposed building pads. (5) Placement of Streets (a) Streets shall then be designed and located in such a manner as to: (i) Maintain and preserve natural topography, groundcover, significant landmarks, and trees; (ii) Minimize cut and fill; (iii) Preserve and enhance both internal and external views and vistas; (iv) Promote road safety; (v) Assure adequate access for fire and rescue vehicles; and Page 8 of 26
