(3) 
Not more than 50% of any recreational or open space area shall be in one or more of the following: a floodplain, an area with a slope of greater than 10%, watercourse or other area unsuitable for recreational purposes due to environmental considerations.

The board with jurisdiction may require a developer to make improvements, including but not limited to the removal of dead or diseased trees, nonnative invasive plants, and landscaping [see Subsection D(1) below]. In all areas where critical habitat for endangered or threatened species restricts development, the open space plan should be designed to eliminate or severely restrict human activity in those areas. Other environmentally sensitive land in conservation areas should be designed for limited human use in accordance with state and federal regulations.
(12)
