(a)
Tract Area. A tract area of not less than 50 acres
shall be required to be held in single and separate ownership in order
to qualify for designation as a "CD" Cluster Development Residential
District.
(b)
Public Utilities. A tract must be served by both public
sewer and public water systems.
(c)
Density.
(1)
The overall density of development within this
district shall not exceed one single-family detached dwelling unit
per 40,000 square feet of developable acreage area, provided that
the total number of lots that may be approved within such district
shall be computed by subtracting from the total developable acreage
area in the cluster development tract, 20% thereof for street right-of-way
purposes. This method shall apply regardless of the amount of land
actually required for street rights-of-way.
(2)
By permitting the reduction of minimum lot areas
and yard requirements in such district, the remaining land in the
development shall be set aside as permanent open space in accordance
with this Zoning Code. The overall density to which the area was originally
zoned shall be maintained.
(3)
There shall be not more than eight single-family
dwelling lots in each cluster of homes within the cluster development.
No buildable area of any lot in one clustering of homes shall be closer
than 160 feet from the buildable area of any lot in another cluster.
(d)
Permanent Open Space. There shall be such provision
for the ownership and maintenance of permanent open space as is reasonable
to ensure its preservation. The Board of Supervisors shall require
the landowner to provide for and establish an organization for the
ownership and maintenance of the permanent open space consistent with
the requirements of the Pennsylvania Uniform Condominium Act, and
such organization shall not dispose of the permanent open space by
sale or otherwise, except to the Township or, after approval of the
Board, to an entity established to own and maintain the permanent
open space. If the permanent open space deteriorates or if, in the
judgment of the Board, it is not maintained in a reasonable manner
in accordance with any approved plan or otherwise, the Township may
proceed to remedy any such deficiency by enforcement of any applicable
Township ordinance or by injunctive relief or otherwise.
