develop property in the C Conservation District may elect to apply

improvement requirements of this section, with all other major subdivision
requirements applying. The Planning Board shall examine each request
to determine whether it meets the following minimum standard requirements:
(a)
The design of the development shall blend with
the agricultural, open space and rural atmosphere of the C Conservation
District.
(b)
The development shall not adversely affect the
development of adjacent or adjoining property.
(c)
Proposed local streets shall interconnect with

function of providing access to properties abutting the street and
will follow the contours of the land to the greatest extent possible.
(d)
The development shall provide for off-site pedestrian
and bikeway interconnections with other residential developments and
public facilities, e.g., schools and parks.

If it is determined by the Planning Board that the proposed development conforms with the minimum standards listed in Subsection E(1) above, the following reduction in standards and improvements may be allowed by the Board:
(a)
The maximum street right-of-way shall be 40
feet, and the cartway shall be 20 feet with stabilized grass shoulders,

require their installation.

In lieu of a four-foot-wide concrete sidewalk
along one side of a street contained within a subdivision, a six-foot-wide
pedestrian walkway of bituminous asphalt or other material acceptable
to the Township Engineer, installed along one side of a comprehensive
walkway network within the subdivision providing access to individual
lots and located outside of a street right-of-way, may be permitted.
(3)
The following criteria shall be utilized by the Planning
Board during subdivision reviews within the C Conservation District
where it is determined that utilization of a rear-lotting technique
is justified by the Board.

Access to the rear lot may be through an access
strip held in fee-simple ownership, not through an easement over adjacent
property.
(b)
The body of the lot, exclusive of the access
strip connecting it to a street, shall have an area and dimensions
meeting the minimum requirements for the zone.
(c)
The access strip shall be continuous and under
the same ownership as the proposed rear lot.
(d)
The intersection of the access strip with a
street shall be such that access to and from the street and the improvement
and use of the access strip along the full course of the access strip
and proper sight triangles, as well as the drainage and other site
considerations, shall be provided in a manner not adversely affecting
the remainder of the tract or adjoining properties.
(e)
The proposed subdivision shall not adversely
affect the development of the remainder of the parcel.
(f)
In the event an additional lot or use is proposed
and said additional lot can only achieve access via the access drive
of the flag lot, the owner of the access strip shall, at his expense,
pave and improve it in accordance with the Township standards. Such
road improvements shall be made prior to the issuance of a building
