design process.
[Added 3-4-2010 by Ord. No. 02-2010[1]]
(a)
For any residential subdivision proposing to use the cluster development option, as provided in Chapter 399, Zoning, of the Land Use Code of East Brandywine Township, or any other development proposal incorporating an area or areas of common open space, a design plan for the tract shall be provided showing common open space lands; house locations; streets; trails; stormwater management facilities; and lot lines, developed in accordance with the following four-step design process. An application for any other subdivision or land development where no common open space is to be designated shall be required to demonstrate compliance with this process to the maximum extent feasible; land to be set aside for recreation and/or to be left undisturbed shall be located and planned on the same basis as common open space under the four-step design process.
[Amended 11-29-2018 by Ord. No. 06-2018]
(b)
The applicant shall prepare and submit a narrative explaining how
the four-step design process was used in preparing the preliminary
site design plan. Also, where required by the Planning Commission
or Board of Supervisors, the applicant shall submit four separate
maps indicating the findings and results of each step in the design
process.
[1]
Step 1: delineation of open space lands.
[Amended 11-29-2018 by Ord. No. 06-2018]
[a]
For an application proposing use of the cluster development option or any other development proposal incorporating an area or areas of common open space, the required minimum percentage and acreage of common open space lands shall be calculated by the applicant and submitted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 399, Zoning.
[b]
Open space lands shall be located and configured
in accordance with the following, in consultation with the planning
commission.
[i]
Any portion of the tract containing natural features
shown on the Township Primary Conservation Areas Map shall be included
within the delineated common open space.
[ii]
Any portion of the tract containing natural features,
scenic resources, and/or historic resources shown on the Township
Secondary Conservation Areas Map should be considered for inclusion
within the designated common open space, consistent with the amount
of open space to be set aside; the design implications of complying
with Subsection B(2)(b)[1][b][i] above; relationships to adjacent
tracts and roads; and the intended use of the common open space, e.g.,
for active recreation. Protection of secondary conservation areas
shall be a high-priority design objective in the delineation of common
open space.
[2]
Step 2: building locations.
[a]
Potential locations of principal buildings shall be tentatively
identified, using the proposed open space lands as a base map.
[b]
Building locations should generally be placed no closer than
50 feet from the boundary of any designated open space lands, taking
into consideration the potential negative impacts of development on
such areas, as well as the potential benefits of such locations to
provide attractive views and visual settings for buildings.
[c]
Building locations proposed in proximity to any floodplain,
steep slope, riparian buffer, water hazard soil, or wetland area shall
demonstrate compliance with any required setbacks from those features.
[3]
Step 3: alignment of streets, trails, and stormwater management facilities.
[a]
Upon designating the building locations, a street plan shall
be designed to provide vehicular access to each building, complying
with all applicable design and improvements construction standards
of this chapter and bearing logical relationship to topographic conditions.
Impacts of the street plan on proposed open space lands shall be minimized,
particularly with respect to potential impacts on environmentally
sensitive areas such as wetlands and steep slopes. Street connections
generally shall be designed to minimize the number of new cul-de-sac
streets to be maintained by the Township and to facilitate access
to and from different parts of the tract and, where appropriate, adjoining
parcels.
[b]
Preliminary determination of locations for stormwater management facilities also shall be provided and shall be in compliance with the terms of Chapter 345, Stormwater Management. Such locations shall avoid negative impacts to primary and secondary conservation areas and shall consider aesthetic impacts, as well as Township objectives to maximize groundwater infiltration.
[Amended 2-18-2015 by Ord. No. 01-2015]
[c]
Trails, both internal to the development and providing linkage
to the broader set of connecting trails within the Township, shall
be incorporated into the overall design.
[4]
Step 4: establishing lot lines.
[a]
Upon completion of the preceding three steps, lot lines shall be drawn as required to delineate the boundaries of individual lots, public and private rights-of-way, and open space areas. Preliminary delineation of open space areas, as presented in Step 1, shall be fine-tuned to reflect actual locations of buildings, streets, trails, stormwater management facilities, and other infrastructure. Any adjustment to the delineation of common open space areas shall comply fully with the standards for common open space in § 399-58C(5) of Chapter 399, Zoning.

unless the Historical Commission determines that the study, or certain
elements thereof, are not pertinent to the application under review,
in which case the applicant shall not be required to submit the study
