§ 102-13.1 Residential cluster in the MR Mountain Residential District.

See § 102-30 for additional standards.

[Added 12-3-1998 by Ord. No. 255-19-98]

Purpose. The purposes of the land use and development of the municipality as set forth in § 102-3 would be furthered by permitting reduction in lot area of individual lots in the case of certain residential developments in the MR Mountain Residential District, but only where such developments of single-family detached dwellings provide compensating open space. Cluster development which provides for a permitted density modification residential development can:

[Amended 12-19-2002 by Ord. No. 255-35-2002; 11-6-2003 by Ord. No. 255-42-2003]

Be designed with a lower per plot cost for streets and utilities.

Result in a lower total length of streets and utility lines, thereby lowering the municipality's costs of service and maintenance.

Be developed to encourage separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Be developed to include recreational facilities in appropriate relationship to places of residence.

Serve the needs of conservation and development by permitting the preservation of the natural ecological features of the community and enhancing the quality of life of the inhabitants.

Serve the needs of the municipality and the county through the extension of parkland, greenways, established trails or recreational facilities.

Be developed to permit the continuation of an existing agricultural use where the property in question is especially suited for agricultural use.

Accommodate solar-energy generating facilities as accessory uses on rooftops only. (See Article VI, § 102-37.3, entitled "Solar energy facilities" to reference the complete solar ordinance and standards.)

[Added 5-3-2012 by Ord. No. 255.55.2012]

Cluster development shall be an option for residential development in the MR Mountain Residential District and cluster development may be mandated by the Planning Board for the development of property with a lot area of 25 acres or more when the purposes set forth in § 102-13.1A are met and the evaluation criteria established in § 102-13. 1D are attainable through cluster development. If, after a review by the Planning Board of the purposes and evaluation criteria indicate that a cluster development is not suitable for the proposed site, then a conventional development of the site shall be permitted.

[Amended 12-19-2002 by Ord. No. 255-35-2002; 11-6-2003 by Ord. No. 255-42-2003]

Procedure to determine density. The maximum number of lots permitted under the clustering concept shall be determined by establishing the required 70% open space with lots meeting the yard and area requirements of § 102-13G of this section. The required open space of 70% shall not include any portion of a building lot or lots to meet the 70% requirement, even though a portion of the building lot or lots may include a conservation easement, critical areas or such other restrictions which limit development on the lot or lots.

[Amended 4-17-2003 by Ord. No. 255-38-2003]

Evaluation criteria. In evaluating the layout of lots and open space, the following criteria will be considered by the Planning Board as indicating design appropriate to the site's natural, historic and cultural features, and meeting the purposes of this section. Diversity and originality in lot layout shall be encouraged to achieve the best possible relationship between development and conservation areas. Accordingly, the Planning Board shall evaluate proposals to determine whether the proposed conceptual plan:

Protects and preserves all floodplains, wetlands and steep slopes from clearing, grading, filling or construction (except as may be required for essential infrastructure or active or passive recreation amenities).

Preserves and maintains mature woodlands, existing fields, pastures, meadows and orchards and creates sufficient buffer areas to minimize conflicts between residential and agricultural uses.

If development must be located on open fields or pastures because of greater constraints in all other parts of the site, dwellings should be sited on the least prime agricultural soils or in locations at the far edge of a field as seen from existing public roads. Other considerations include whether the development will be visually buffered from existing public roads, such as by a planting screen consisting of a variety of indigenous native trees, shrubs and wildflowers.

Maintains or creates an upland buffer of natural native species vegetation of at least 100 feet in depth adjacent to wetlands and surface waters, including creeks, streams, springs, lakes and ponds.

Designs around existing hedgerows and treelines between fields or meadows, minimizes impacts on large woodlands (greater than five acres), especially those containing many mature trees or a significant wildlife habitat or those not degraded by invasive vines. Also, woodlands of any size on highly erodible soils with slopes greater than 10% should be avoided. However, woodlands in poor condition with limited management potential can provide suitable locations for residential development. When any woodland is developed, great care shall be taken to design all disturbed areas (for buildings, roads, yards, septic disposal fields, etc.) in locations where there are no large trees or obvious wildlife areas to the fullest extent that is practicable.

Leaves scenic views and vistas unblocked or uninterrupted, particularly as seen from public roadways. (For example, in open agrarian landscapes, a deep no-build, no-plant buffer is recommended along the public roadway where those views or vistas are prominent or locally significant. In wooded areas where the sense of enclosure is a feature that should be maintained, a deep no-build, no-cut buffer should be respected, to preserve existing vegetation.)

Avoids siting new construction on prominent hilltops or ridges by taking advantage of low topographic features.

Protects wildlife habitat areas or species listed as endangered, threatened or of special concern by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and/or by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

(9)

Designs around and preserves sites of historic, archaeological or cultural value and their environs insofar as needed to safeguard the character of the feature, including stone walls, spring houses, barn foundations, cellar holes, earthworks, burial grounds, etc.

(10)

Protects rural roadside character and improves public safety and vehicular carrying capacity by avoiding development fronting onto existing public roads. Establishes buffer zones along the scenic corridor of rural roads with historic buildings, stone walls, hedgerows, etc.

(11)

Landscapes common areas (such as community greens), cul-de-sac islands and both sides of new streets with native specie shade trees and flowering shrubs with high wildlife conservation value. (See § 102-23 regarding standards pertaining to natural features and landscaping.)

[Amended 12-6-2001 by Ord. No. 255-32-2001]

(12)

Provides active recreational areas in suitable locations offering convenient access by residents and adequately screened from nearby houselots.

(13)

Includes a pedestrian circulation system designed to assure that pedestrians can walk safety and easily on the site, between properties and activities or special features within the neighborhood open space system. All roadside footpaths should connect with off-road trails, which in turn should link with potential open space on adjoining undeveloped parcels (or with existing open space on adjoining developed parcels, where applicable).

(14)

Provides open space that is reasonably contiguous and whose configuration is in accordance with this section. For example, fragmentation of open space should be minimized so that these resource areas are not divided into numerous small parcels located in various parts of the development. To the greatest extent practicable, this land shall be designed as a single block with logical, straightforward boundaries. Long thin strips of conservation land shall be avoided, unless the conservation feature is linear or unless such configuration is necessary to connect with other streams or trails. The open space shall generally abut existing or potential open space land on adjacent parcels and shall be designed as part of larger contiguous and integrated greenway systems.

Design process and criteria. Each conceptual plan shall follow a four-step design process, as described below. When the conceptual plan is submitted, applicants shall be prepared to demonstrate to the Planning Board that these four design steps were followed by their site designers in determining the layout of their proposed streets, houselots and greenway lands.

Designating the open space. During the first step, all potential open space areas are identified.

Location of house sites. During the second step, potential house sites are tentatively located. Because the proposed location of houses within each lot represents a significant decision with potential impacts on the ability of the development to meet the 14 evaluation criteria contained in Subsection D above, applicants shall identify tentative house sites on the conceptual plan.

Street and lot layout. The third-step consists of aligning proposed streets to provide vehicular access to each house in the most reasonable and economical way. When lots and access streets are laid out, they shall be located in a way that avoids or at least minimizes adverse impacts on conservation areas.

Lot lines. The fourth step is simply to draw in the lot lines.

In order to develop single-family detached dwellings with no common open land as a conventional development within the MR Mountain Residential District, the applicant must demonstrate to the Planning Board's satisfaction that all of the following conditions are met, where applicable:

[Amended 12-19-2002 by Ord. No. 255-35-2002; 11-6-2003 by Ord. No. 255-42-2003]

The tract in question is unsuitable for cluster development due to factors such as the size or shape of the tract or the location of natural features, and the purposes for a cluster development as set forth in § 102-13.1A and the evaluation criteria established in § 102-13.1D are not applicable to the applicant's site.

Where the property is wholly or partially in agricultural use, that the property is not feasible for continued or future agricultural use due to its physical characteristics. Existing features such as soil conditions, rock outcroppings, wooded areas, the tract's shape or size, past farming activities and suitability for efficient use of farm machinery shall be considered.

The proposed conventional development will not have a disruptive effect on the existing topography, steep slopes, floodplains, wetlands, mature woodlands or other natural features on the site.

An environmental impact statement and visual inventory of the site have been submitted.

The proposed conventional development shall be consistent with good design principles and land development practices. Specifically, it shall be designed to minimize views of dwellings from exterior roads and to avoid stripping out of lots along these roads.

§ 102-14 R-1 1/2 Single-Family Residential District.

The tract in question can be developed in a manner consistent with community goals as expressed in the Bethlehem Township Master Plan.
