6.2.   CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
6.2.1.   Purpose and Intent
The purpose and intent of this section is to provide landowners in the rural and suburban portions of the Town a development option that provides additional development flexibility to build on smaller lots when additional open space set-asides are provided, and the development is designed and located in a way that protects rural character, agricultural activities, or natural and historic features on the site. This is done in order to:
   A.   Conserve open land, including those areas containing productive agricultural soils, unique and sensitive natural features such as flood plains, wetlands, river and stream corridors, areas with mature deciduous trees, and watersheds;
   B.   Promote existing rural character particularly in areas visible from major roadways in the Town;
   C.   Retain and protect existing environmental, natural, and cultural resources;
   D.   Create a linked network of open lands; and
   E.   Provide reasonable economic use of the land.
