Using that criteria, said Fannon, most of the county will be conservation.
“That’s the way it cuts,” McNear agreed. If a landowner wants to subdivide 1000 acres that’s predominantly under 14 percent slope and zoned agriculture but has areas in flood plain or with steep slopes, the density can be reduced proportionally to the number of acres that don’t meet the 14 percent slope requirement for five acre lots,' the planner explained.
Then, instead of 20 lots on the 100 acres, the developer may get only 12 or 15, once flood plain and steeply sloped areas are eliminated.
He describe the delineation of specific boundary lines for conservation and agricultural land on a zoning map as “enforcing the basic concept (of the county’s land use controls) so it’s easier to administer.
“If you can’t Find any areas with a significant amount of land under 14 percent slope, you ought to zone the entire county conservation," McNear dded.
