Common open space, particularly perimeter buffer yards, containing
existing attractive or unique natural features, such as streams, creeks,
ponds, woodlands, specimen trees and other areas of mature vegetation
worthy of preservation may be left unimproved and in a natural state.
As a general principle, the preservation of undeveloped open space
in its natural state is encouraged. A landowner and/or developer may
make certain improvements, such as the cutting of trails for walking
or jogging and the provision of picnic areas.
