streets, parking and roads. A sketch plan of said development setting

resting with the Town Board. The sketch plan shows that the planned
unit development encompasses a total of 390 acres, of which 300 will
be devoted to single-family units. The balance may be devoted to parklands.
A proposed 40 acres of parkland comprises 10.25% of the total of 390
acres. The density of the single-family units is 1.7 units per acre.
