A minimum twenty (20') foot buffer shall be provided from all external lot lines, except that portion which fronts on an external street. Such buffer shall be kept in its natural state where wooded; and when its natural vegetation is sparse or nonexistent, the landowner shall be required to provide a year-round visual screen as determined by the approving authority.

No principal or accessory use or structure, including, without limitation, off street parking and loading areas, shall be permitted within the required buffer area, but the approving authority may, upon a finding of reasons thereof, permit a portion of a buffer area to be used for utility easements or streets to ensure access to or from adjacent property.

Required buffer areas shall be included for the purposes of computing compliance within open space requirements and may be conveyed to unit owners as part of common elements, but in no case shall a buffer area be utilized for any active recreational or other active use.

The area, yard and bulk requirements applicable to permitted uses are as set forth in Schedule 2-2, Area, Yard and Bulk Requirements.[1]

Buildings shall not exceed a one hundred eighty (180') foot length.

Each residential development shall contain a minimum of twenty-five (25%) percent of its total land area in open space.

A minimum twenty (20') foot setback from buildings to internal roads shall be provided. A minimum ten (10') foot setback to parking areas shall also be maintained.
