that will be impacted from the proposed use of on-lot sewage disposal
systems. Such analysis will consider and identify the systems and
their dispersion plumes and mixing zones to be calculated from the
surface topography and known geologic conditions. The analysis will
then describe anticipated water quality/quantity impacts to areas
located downgradient and/or along any geologic strike or fault. These
anticipated impacts should also consider existing and potential land
uses located within the affected area.
[4]
Should it be determined that the proposed use(s)
would result in a degradation of groundwater quality, or eliminate

the height of the front of the building.
[b]
Proportion of openings within the
building. The relationship of width to height of windows and doors.

elevation. Structural shape, planning of openings and architectural
detail may provide a predominantly vertical, horizontal or non-directional
character to the buildings facade.
[l]
Scale. Scale is created by the
size of units of construction and architectural detail that relate
to the size of man. It can also be determined by building mass and
how it relates to open space. The major elements of scale may be brick
or stone units, window or door openings, porches and balconies, etc.
[m]

Prevent the disturbance of archaeologically
significant areas of the site during and following construction of
the proposed use;

traffic volumes within the traffic impact area, to be determined by
an extrapolation of former development trends; and, the amounts of
usable area already planned and/or zoned within the traffic impact
area. Any previously approved projects within the TIA that have not
yet been occupied should also be factored in these future traffic
volume projections.
