The proposal shows <br /> a 9.5% building coverage. Approximately 40% of the proposed lot consists of Class II soils. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area. Development is limited to one lot per <br /> 35 acres owned. The property was originally eligible for a total of 3 splits. 2 housing density rights have been used to <br /> create the adjacent residential lots. Note that the town counts separation of existing residences as a split. If the <br /> petition is approved, the splits will be exhausted for the original farm. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: The proposed lot is outside the resource protection area. <br /> STAFF: The proposal meets the dimensional standards for the zoning district. Housing density rights will be <br /> exhausted on the 94 acres in the Town of Deerfield. Staff recommends that a deed restriction be recorded on the <br /> balance of A-1 EX lands prohibiting further residential development. <br /> TOWN: Approved conditioned upon a deed notice being placed on the property to prohibit further residential <br /> development on the remaining A-1 Exclusive zoned lands. <br />
