The following specific development standards shall be adhered to in the design and layout of any Conservation Development:
(a) Minimum Setbacks from Project Boundaries and Streets: All buildings, structures and parking areas shall comply with the minimum setbacks set forth in Schedule 1143.13.
(b) Minimum Separation Between Buildings: In order to ensure reasonable privacy and separation, individual buildings including terraces, decks and patios shall be separated by the minimum spacing set forth in Schedule 1143.13.
(c) Height Requirements. All principal and accessory building shall comply with the regulations in Section 1141.09, Height Requirements.
(d) Lot Requirements: Dwelling units are not required to be on lots. However, when lots for standard detached one-family dwellings or subdivision lots for cluster one-family detached dwellings are included as part of a Conservation Development, such lots or sub lots shall be of sufficient size and shape to accommodate dwelling units in compliance with the spacing requirements of this Section.
(e) Required Buffer: A buffer area from an existing public street right-of-way and from a perimeter side or rear property line is required and shall be landscaped with an acceptably designed wall, fence, planting screen, or mound, or some combination thereof, to provide adequate landscaping between the proposed development and adjacent areas to assure privacy for existing and future residents.
(f) Utilities: Underground utilities, including telephone and electrical systems, are required within the limits of a Conservation Development. Appurtenances to these systems that can be effectively screened may be exempted from this requirement if the Village finds that such exemption will not violate the intent or character of the proposed Conservation Development.
(g) Sewage Disposal: Sewage disposal systems shall comply with all applicable regulations of the Lake County Health Department and may be located within open space areas when approved by the Village and the Lake County Health Department.
(h) Building Zones.Development should generally occur in the building zones shown on the Zoning Map.
(i) Additional Standards: Additional development requirements, whether standards or criteria, formulated to achieve the objectives of the Conservation Development may be established at the time a Conservation Development site plan is reviewed. Any such development requirements adopted with such plan shall become binding land use requirements for the development.
(j) Waivers: In the event the Village, determines that certain standards set forth in this Chapter do not or should not apply specifically to the circumstances of a particular project and an alternative method of achieving the objectives of the numerical standard is equal to or better than the strict application of the specified standard, the Planning and Zoning Commission may relax such standard to the extent deemed just and proper, provided that the granting of such relief shall be without detriment to the health and safety of the community and without detriment to or impairment of the intent of this Chapter. However, if the Planning and Zoning Commission permits the required open space to be located on individual, subdivided lots, a deed restriction or other legal mechanism should be utilized to insure that the required open space remains in the state shown on the approved final site plan.
