(A) Required open space shall comprise at least 40% of the total area of the PUD. Land occupied by buildings, streets, driveways or parking spaces may not be counted in satisfying this open space requirement; provided however, that land occupied by recreational buildings and structures may be counted as required open space.
(B) At least one-half of the required open space shall have an overall finished grade not to exceed 10%, shall be suitably improved for its intended purposes, and all lawn and landscaped areas reserved for common use shall be provided with a permanent watering system adequate to maintain such areas.
(C) The remaining one-half of the required open space may also be improved, or may be left in its natural state, particularly if natural features worthy of preservation exist on the site. Open space left in its natural state shall be kept free of litter and shall at no time constitute a health, safety, fire or flood hazard.
(D) If the development is to be accomplished in stages, the development plan shall coordinate improvement of the open space, the construction of buildings, structures and improvements in such open space, and the construction of dwelling units in order that each development stage achieves a proportionate quality of the total planned development.
