§ 160-186 Required conditions.
The following requirements shall be complied with in the LDI Zone for uses other than golf courses.
A.
Minimum lot area: 15 acres for uses proposing to depend on individual septic and well and 7 1/2 acres for uses proposing to utilize an extension of the existing wastewater system.
B.
Buffers.
(1)
A buffer of not less than 200 feet, adequately landscaped, shall be required between any existing or proposed residential use or zone either in White or Harmony Township. A buffer of not less than 100 feet, adequately landscaped, shall be required between existing or proposed nonresidential uses or zones in White and Harmony Township.
(2)
Buffering shall be required when topographic or other barriers do not provide reasonable screening and when the Planning Board determines that there is a need to shield the site from adjacent property to minimize adverse impacts such as incompatible land uses, noise, glaring lights and traffic. The Planning Board may require landscaping, fences or walls, or a combination thereof, in order to accomplish this purpose. Generally, a dense planting of year-round vegetation with a mature height in excess of 50 feet will be required.
C.
Accessways. Each separate parcel shall have not more than two accessways to any one public highway or street. Neither of such accessways shall be more than 32 feet in width. The intent of this subsection is to encourage the use of common accessways by two or more parcels in order to reduce the number and closeness of access points along the street or highway and to encourage the fronting of permitted structures upon a marginal street and not directly upon a public highway. Not more than one crossing of Buckhorn Creek shall be permitted. Access from this area shall be principally from Foul Rift Road or a service road with one point of access to County Route 519.
D.
Maximum building coverage permitted shall be 5%.

H.
Greenhouse requirements. Greenhouses used as part of a customary and conventional farming operation shall conform to the minimum requirements set forth in § 160-130 except that greenhouses are permitted up to 25% total building coverage, including 20% for crop production and 5% for non-crop production operations.

The minimum tract size shall be 150 acres of an eighteen-hole course. For a nine-hole course, the minimum area shall be 75 acres.
