An area equivalent to at least one acre shall be contiguous
"non-critical" acreage, shall not include surface stormwater management
facilities, and must be appropriately situated for the location and
construction of the single-family detached dwelling and its appurtenances,
including the septic system serving the lot. Additionally, the one
acre of contiguous "non-critical" acreage shall be shaped to permit
the inscription of a circle with a diameter of at least 205 feet within
its bounds. No critical lands shall be developed except in accordance
with § 190-606 of this chapter.

New residential development along collector or arterial roadways
shall have a twenty-five-foot-wide buffer area between the collector
or arterial road and any development to reduce the negative impact
of the roadway on the adjacent development. Where the buffer area
is to be within an individual residential lot rather than in common
open space, the twenty-five-foot buffer width shall be in addition
to the required minimum yard area. (See § 190-509 for design
requirements.)
