The is no direct access to a public road for the Christiana <br /> portion of the property. Access to the house is gained from Rothie Road in the Town of Deerfield. No sensitive <br /> environmental features observed. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in an Agricultural Preservation area. As indicated on the attached density study <br /> report, the property is eligible for a single split under the town plan. The existing residence was constructed in 1992 <br /> after the town adopted its density policy in 1979 and therefore counts as the one split available to the property. No <br /> further division of the property would be permitted for additional non-farm development. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: The proposal is outside the resource protection area, however, a mapped floodplain area <br /> is to the east. <br /> STAFF: The proposal meets the dimensional standards of the zoning district. Staff recommends that a deed <br /> restriction be recorded on the balance of A-1 EX zoned land owned by the applicant in the town of Christiana <br /> prohibiting further residential development, in accordance with town plan policies. A waiver from the 66' of road <br /> frontage requirement in the land division ordinance is being requested for the proposed CSM. <br /> TOWN: Approved with no conditions. <br />
