(3) The open areas provided in the part of the planned development containing only residential structures shall be preserved over the life of the planned unit development for use only by the residents of the planned development.
(4) For that part of a planned development devoted to residential uses, the Plan Commission may recommend and the Village Board of Trustees may approve access to a dwelling by a driveway or pedestrian walk easement, and spacing between buildings of lesser widths or depths than required by district regulations for the district in which the planned development is located, provided:
(a) That adequate provisions are made which perpetuate during the period of the special use, access easements and off-street parking spaces for use by the residents of the dwellings served;
(b) The spacing between buildings shall be approved by the Plan Commission and shall be consistent with the application of recognized site planning principles for securing a unified development, and due consideration is given to the openness normally afforded by intervening streets and alleys;
(c) The yards for principal buildings along the periphery of the development shall be not less in width or depth than required for permitted uses in the district regulations applicable to the districts in which the planned development is located; and the plan is developed to afford adequate protection to neighboring properties as recommended by the Plan Commission and approved by the Village Board of Trustees.

Seventy feet in the R-1 District.

(a) That protective covenants are recorded which perpetuate access easements and off-street parking spaces for use by the residents of the dwellings served;
(b) That spacing between buildings shall be consistent with the application of recognized site planning principles for securing a unified development and due consideration is given to the openness normally afforded by intervening streets and alleys;
(c) Spacing between principal buildings within a part of a planned development shall be equivalent to such spacing as would be required between buildings by district regulations for the district in which it is located.
