(a) Modifications of the standards as outlined in Chapter 1230 may be made in the districts when the following conditions are met:
(1) Lot dimensions may be reduced in accordance with the following schedule, provided that the number of residential lots shall be no greater than if the land area to be subdivided was developed in the minimum square foot lot areas as required for each one-family district under Chapter 1230. All calculations of density for residential development shall be predicated upon the one-family districts having the following gross densities (including roads):
Modifications to Standards
Not Less Than | |||
Districts | Dwellings Per Acre | Lot Width | Lot Depth |
R-1 (Utilities) | 1.7 | 90 | 170 |
R-1 (No Utilities) | 1.2 | 120 | 195 |
R-2 (Utilities) | 2.2 | 75 | 150 |
R-2 (No Utilities) | 1.6 | 110 | 160 |
R-3 | 3.1 | 65 | 140 |
R-4 | 4.0 | 60 | 130 |
(2) For each square foot of land gained under the provisions of (1) above within a residential subdivision, through the reduction of lot sizes below the minimum requirements as outlined in Chapter 1230, the equal amounts of land shall be dedicated in a manner approved by the City.
(3) The land area necessary to meet the minimum requirements of the intensity and dimensional standards of Chapter 1230 shall not include bodies of water or wetlands which would make land unsuitable for recreation purposes, except that lakes or ponds, when landscaped and maintained as portions of larger open space areas within the development, may be included in density computations. All land reserved for recreation shall maintain its natural drainage. The entire area may, however, be located in a floodplain.
(4) A parcel to be dedicated for the common use of the subdivision shall in no instance be fewer than five (5) acres and shall be in a location and shape approved by the City, provided that a parcel divided by a road or stream shall be considered as one (1) parcel.
(5) Access shall be provided to areas dedicated for the common use of the subdivision for those lots not bordering on such dedicated areas by means of streets or pedestrian access ways.
(6) Under this subdivision open space approach, the proprietor shall dedicate sufficient park area so that each final plat is within maximum density requirements; provided, however, that the entire park area within a single block shall be dedicated as a whole.
(7) Application for approval of the subdivision open space plan shall be submitted at the time of submission of the preliminary subdivision plat for approval as required by the City of Perrysburg subdivision regulations.
