The Residential Open Space Conservation District applies only to parcels of ten (10) contiguous acres or larger as identified on the Official Zoning Map. Such land area may be in either single or multiple-ownership. If in several ownerships, the application shall be filed jointly by all owners of the properties included in the proposed Residential Open Space Conservation development boundaries. When evaluated as a single zoning lot, the project must possess the severe natural development constraints listed below which, in combination, involve at least thirty percent (30%) of its gross area, but no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of its gross area. Site characteristics and development constraints will be confirmed by the Village Engineer:
(a) Severe slope (slope gradient in excess of thirty percent (30%)).
(b) Wetlands and/or surface water features.
(c) Unstable soils (soil groups possessing severe hazards due to slippage for shallow excavations, dwellings with or without basements, and local roads/streets, as listed in Table 8 of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service "Soil Survey of Cuyahoga County", Dec., 1980).
