6.9 FLEXIBLE LOT FRONTAGE AND WIDTH Upon approval of the Planning Board as part of a conservation development as provided in the Land Development and Subdivision Review Regulations, the lot frontage and lot width variations listed below may be permitted by the Planning Board, through a request for a waiver.

  1. In residential R-200, R-80 and R-Med zoning districts, the Planning Board is authorized to reduce the lot frontage and lot width of newly created lots on any public or approved private street to a minimum of twenty (20) feet.
  2. Open space lots, within an approved conservation development, may have zero frontage on a street, as long as the Planning Board approves access to the open space by easement or other means.
  3. As part of the application to the Planning Board for flexible lot frontage and width, a "conventional yield plan" as defined herein, shall be required. No more buildable lots shall be allowed using flexible lot frontage and width provisions than are allowed by using conventional frontage and width provisions.
