  • B. The Planning Board may allow a building lot for a single-family dwelling to be a minimum of 43,560 square feet in a conservation development only. In such cases, the building lot must be directly abutting open space area(s) which shall be suitable for the placement of a future ISDS and/or a drinking water well if needed to serve the dwelling on the lot. In making this determination, the Board shall consider the physical characteristics of the open space with regard to its suitability for future ISDS/wells, including but not limited to soil characteristics, topography, presence of land unsuitable for development, vegetation, or other natural or man-made features. If the Board finds that the abutting common open space area is not suitable for these purposes, the lot area for the single-family dwelling shall be not less than 1.5 acres (65,340 square feet).
