Adequate building sites must be provided outside of the stream buffer.

This document should include maintenance responsibility for all open space and other privately owned improvements, and must be reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office. 9. [ZMA200600011 Proffer 2] Each lot is required to be a minimum of 40,000 square feet. Provide the square footage calculations for each lot rather than the acreages. 10. [ZMA200600011 Proffer 4] Prior to Final Plat approval, an overlot grading plan must be submitted that meets all requirements listed in Proffer 4 for Engineering review and approval. This review may result in a reduction of the number of approvable lots. 11. [ZMA200600011 Proffer 7] The Application Plan approved with ZMA200600011 shows a picnic shelter within Open Space J and two trails leading from Open Space J and connecting to the larger trail system within the subdivision.

These amenities should be provided as shown on the Application Plan; show the trail system as indicated and note that the picnic shelter will be provided.
