MOK 8. NGE 91110 process shall not exceed 120 acres with the remainder of the area designated as open space. Then, if they decide for market conditions that they need 1 acre lots, it means they have put their own cap on density at 120 units, but if they decide the market is 1/2 acre lots, then they get 240 units, but no more than 240. Director Keating felt the big point is that Attorney Watts has said,the density is irrelevant, and he did not agree with that. The more density you get, the more impacts you will have. By limiting the choice of development type by mandatory clustering, you will get more resource protection, but you still will have an impact from an increase in density. He did believe that generally we are pretty close on what we want, but he felt the two decisions to make right now are the difference between 1/5 and 1/21 and 1 upa maximum lot size as opposed to 1/2. Commissioner Scurlock wished to know if the actual construc- tion of these units under the applicant's scenario ends up with an equal amount of what we are requesting under the 1/5, and Director Keating stated that their scenario of a maximum of 120 acres disturbed would actually provide more protection than ours. Attorney Vitunac asked if there is any way to send up something between the two figures. Attorney Watts again stressed that he does not have the authority to do that and just asked that the Board transmit his applicant's proposal without binding themselves to it. Commissioner Scurlock did not believe that Attorney Watts would be interested in submitting this if they did not have some confidence that DCA would approve it. Chairman Eggert expressed her concern that with smaller lots you are putting more people on the property, and more people tend to disturb protected property more. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. 90 L J
