Footnotes for Subsections 403.D.1 and 403.D.2.:
[1]	In instances where a major subdivision is proposed in the GMS or GD District for a conventional development on tracts of land at least 25 acres in area, an applicant may utilize the minimum, maximum and average residential lot size provisions noted in Subparagraph [e] hereinbelow, provided that:
	[a]	Any lot designated for nonresidential purposes, including detention basin lots dedicated to the Township or otherwise restricted to permanent open space use, shall be included in the computation of tract size, but shall not be included in the calculation of the minimum, maximum and average lot sizes;
	[b]	The minimum lot depth may be reduced to a minimum of 250 feet for lots less than two acres in size; except for the lot size and lot depth provisions, all other "Area and Yard Requirements" specified for the GMS or GD Districts, as the case may be, shall apply;
	[c]	Every lot within a subdivision utilizing the minimum, maximum and average lot size provisions specified herein shall contain an area equivalent to at least one acre in size which shall be contiguous "noncritical" acreage appropriately situated for the location and construction of the detached single-family dwelling and its appurtenances, including the septic system serving the lot.
	[d]	All other requirements of this ordinance governing the development within the GMS or GD District, as the case may be, shall continue to apply; and
	[e]	Residential Lot Size Provisions.
		Minimum	1.0 ac.
		Maximum	3.2 ac.
		Average	2.0 ac.
[2]	The specified minimum "lot area" shall be contiguous non-wetland, non-wetland buffer and non-one-hundred-year floodplain acreage, and such area must be appropriately situated for the location and construction of detached single-family dwelling and its appurtenances and customary accessory uses; otherwise the minimum required lot area shall be 24,900 square feet.
[3]	Vacant lands contained within any commercially operated golf course established in the GD Growth District in the Pinelands Regional Growth Area (RGA) in Medford Township prior to the effective date of this ordinance but not including areas containing fairways and greens or any other areas or developed lands associated and necessary for the use of said golf course, may be counted to calculate the maximum number of residential dwelling units if the lands to be developed are located within the golf course and the applicant restricts by deed restriction (1) the entire golf course area for use as a golf course only except for the lands to be developed, and (2) provides that ownership of the golf course shall revert to the Township of Medford with all accessory uses including any clubhouse, pool, tennis courts or other similar facilities in the event the golf course is discontinued or abandoned for any reason whether voluntarily or involuntarily including bankruptcy.
	The applicant shall demonstrate that no liens exist on the record at the time the deed restriction as required herein is filed on the record. In no event shall the gross maximum density, including Pineland Development Credits use, for residential development exceed the permitted gross density nor shall any other previously deed restricted open space in the golf course be used in calculating density.
	The Board may approve less than maximum density for said vacant land if the Board determines that the resulting residential development density will (a) reduce the size of the existing golf course play area, (b) adversely interfere with the use and enjoyment of the golf course, or (c) have an unreasonably adverse impact upon the area in which the development is proposed to be established.

The regulations are also intended to promote a desirable visual environment that reflects the historic village character of the Medford Business Districts.

Footnotes for Subsection 415.D.1:
[1]	The minimum tract size shall be 10 acres. No residential use shall be located on a parcel of less than one acre unless served by a centralized wastewater treatment plant.
[2]	The specific minimum "lot area" shall be contiguous non-wetland, non-wetland buffer and non-one-hundred-year floodplain acreage, and such area must be appropriately situated for the location and construction of the dwelling unit and its appurtenances and customary accessory uses; otherwise the minimum required lot area shall be 30,000 square feet for Single-Family Detached Dwellings and 9,000 square feet for Patio Homes and Two-Family Dwelling Units.
[3]	Design Elements and Decks as described below may extend into the minimum required yard area, provided that in all cases the first floor and second floor design elements may intrude not more than three feet into the minimum required yard area (decks may extend further), and provided further that, for semidetached and two-family dwelling units, the extensions will only be allowed when privacy walls, screening or fencing are incorporated as part of the overall design of the attached dwelling unit or where the subject yard area abuts major open space areas at least 100 feet in width along the entire length of the subject lot line.
	First Floor Design Elements: Chimneys, window elements, eaves, entranceway elements, and similar architectural and foundation projections as approved by the Planning Board, provided that the total length of such extensions is limited to 45% of the linear distance of the foundation wall.
	Decks: Decks may be located in side and/or rear yard areas only, shall be set back a minimum of 10 feet from all property lines, and shall occupy not more than 25% of any particular side or rear yard area within which the deck is located.

[5]	All sheds shall meet the setback standard for accessory structures unless located to the rear of all walls/parts/features/decks, etc., of the principal building, i.e., the point on the structure farthest from the street line. If a shed is so located, and less than 200 square feet in gross floor area, it may be placed within five feet of any property line. For a corner lot, the reduced setback standard above will apply to both street frontages; provided, however, that sheds along common property lines shall be placed to the rear of the front facade of the principal structure on the adjoining lot or 50 feet from the street on which frontage is shared, whichever is greater.

No portion of any building shall be closer to any portion of any other building than the combined distances of the abutting requirements for each building, providing that the corner of a building off-set more than a 20° angle from a line drawn parallel to another building shall be considered a side of the building. In addition, no building shall be located closer than 50 feet from the right-of-way line of any arterial street, 40 feet from the right-of-way line of any collector street, 30 feet from the right-of-way line of any local street or 20 feet from any parking area.

Within the non-wetlands, non-wetlands buffer and non-one-hundred-year floodplain open space, at least one contiguous area shall be large enough to have inscribed within it a circle with a diameter of 250 feet, which diameter shall not pass over any detention or retention basin or street right-of-way.
