(A) A pattern of subdivision development which places dwelling units into compact groupings may be allowed when the proposed clustering provides a better means of preserving agricultural land, open space, woods, scenic views, wetlands, and other features of the natural environment than traditional subdivision development.
(B) Except for minimum setbacks and heights limits, altered dimensional standards may be allowed as exceptions to this chapter for planned cluster developments, provided:
(1) In rural districts of this chapter the number of dwelling units allowed shall not exceed the total number of dwelling units allowed if the development was based on the minimum lot size requirements for a single-family residential subdivision.
(2) In urban districts of this chapter and only where public sewer and water will be installed in the proposed cluster development, the number of dwelling units shall not exceed 50% more than the total number of dwelling units allowed if the development was based on the minimum lot size requirements for single-family residential subdivision.
(3) Open space shall be preserved. At least 50% of the length of shoreland or bluffland frontage as viewed from the river shall be kept in its natural state.
(4) Temporary docks, if allowed, shall be centralized and of a size not to exceed the needs of the residents of the development.
