d.
Density calculations. The maximum number of lots
or units allowable shall be calculated by dividing the net area of
the development by the minimum lot area requirements of the residential
district or districts in which the subdivision is located. The net
area is the gross area of the development minus the following:
e.
Planning and platting or dedication of open space. Open space areas are the parks, natural features and passive open
space that distinguish this use pattern from other types of development.
Open space areas shall be designated on the development plan and on
any preliminary or final plat and shall be subject to the following
minimum requirements.
(1)
The minimum land area that shall be devoted to open space shall
consist of an area equal to the net area of the development minus
the maximum number of lots having the maximum lot size. Open space
in excess of the minimum may also be included in open space.
(2)
Open space shall not be further subdivided.
(3)
Open space shall not be developed except as provided below.
(4)
Open space may be included in the net acreage of the development
for density calculations only if it is used as:
(a)
Conservation of open space in its natural state.
(b)
Recreation including, but not limited to, trails, picnic areas,
community gardens, playing fields, playgrounds and courts, lakes and
ponds.
(c)
Water supply and sewage disposal systems for the development.
(d)

or more of open space (if horses are pastured, the number of horses
shall not exceed one (1) horse per acre of pasture).
(e)
Easements for drainage, access, sewer or water lines or other
public purposes.
(f)
Stormwater management facilities.
(g)
Parking areas to serve recreational areas.

Agricultural area to be used for crops and the grazing of animals.
(5)
Open space areas shall to the extent possible abut existing
conservation areas, parks, open space or farmland on adjacent parcels.
(6)
Open space may be designated for dedication for public use,
and in such cases be considered part of the gross acreage of the development
in computing the maximum number of lots that may be created or dwelling
units that may be authorized, only if:
(a)
The area of the proposed cluster development is at least thirty
(30) acres;
(b)
The proposed public use site is dedicated to the public in a manner approved by the County Counselor or legal counsel of the public agency prior to recording of the subdivision plat and the use on the site shall be in conformance with Section 405.090(I)(2)(e)(3) above;
(c)
Prior to the recording of the subdivision plat, a written agreement
between the petitioner and the public agency shall be submitted to
the Director of the Planning and Zoning Division for review and approval.
This agreement shall indicate who is responsible for the installation
of required improvements and indicate when the improvements will be
installed;
(d)
The subdivision plat for record identifies the boundaries of
the dedicated tract within the cluster development;
(e)
The deed of dedication for public use shall provide that in
the event the property shall no longer be used for that purpose, it
will revert to the trustees of the subdivision in which it is located
as common land. The trust indenture required herein shall provide
for the manner in which the common land shall be treated.
(7)
Open space not dedicated to the
public shall be titled to subdivision trustees, as provided herein.
(a)
In developments where common ground which may include open spaces,
recreational areas or other common ground are provided and the acreage
of which is included in the gross acreage for density calculation
purposes, a trust indenture shall be recorded simultaneously with
the final plat. The indenture shall provide for the proper and continuous
maintenance and supervision of said common land by trustees to be
selected and to act in accordance with the terms of such indenture,
and the common land shall be deeded to the trustees.
(b)
In addition, the trust indenture shall contain the following
provisions:
(i)
That the common ground, including open spaces, recreational
areas or other common ground, shall be for the sole benefit, use and
enjoyment of the lot or unit owners, present and future, of the entire
cluster development or that the common ground may also be used by
residents outside the cluster development.
(ii)
If residents outside the cluster development are
permitted to use the common ground, the indenture shall contain provisions
which shall provide, in essence, the following:
i)
No resident of the cluster development shall be
denied the use of the open space, recreational facilities or other
common ground for any reason related to the extension of such privilege
to non-residents of the cluster development;

Flood Insurance Rate Maps, is determined to be suitable for its intended
use and the proposed subdivision adequately mitigates the risks of
flooding, inadequate drainage, soil and rock formations with severe
limitations for development, severe erosion potential or any other
floodplain-related risks to the health, safety or welfare of the future
residents of the proposed subdivision in a manner consistent with
the provisions of this Unified Development Ordinance not modified
by this Subsection.
c.
Approval of a development plan for a cluster development shall constitute
acceptance of the land use, building and architectural character,
development intensity, general street patterns, drainage patterns,
lot patterns, parks and open space lands and the general layout of
pedestrian and bicycle trails, provided that these may be modified
by the Planning and Zoning Commission in conjunction with subsequent
approvals if additional information reveals development constraints
that are not evident during preliminary plat review.
5.
Denial of approval by Planning and Zoning Commission—approval
by County Council by ordinance. If the Planning and Zoning
Commission withholds approval of a cluster development, the application
shall be forwarded to the County Council and such application must
then be approved by an ordinance with approval of five (5) member
of the County Council, and the reasons for approval or failure to
approve such application shall be spread upon the records of the Governing
