able. A $500 square foot minimum
is required where both are avail
able.
The planning commission some
time ago said its aim was to dis
courage subdivision in the upper
county area except under the best
of conditions. Many critics charged
that some upper county residents
had wanted to maintain the coun-
try club estate atmosphere that
exists in some areas, but they said
such an atmosphere was not pre-
dominant throughout the county's
rural areas.
Much WOrdage
The regulations are not brief.
They consist of ID pages of single
typed copy accompanied by four
more pages of the specification and
procedures.
The ordinance has a number of
unique clauses.
One states that roads, ain order
to discourage through traffic and
high traffic speeds and increase
the Suitability and stability of the
subdivision by preventing monoton-
Gus development, in level or nearly
level areas straight portions of
primary and secondary residential
roads of undue length shall be
avoided wherever possible by the
use of slight amounts of curva-
ture."
Another clause forbids subdivi-
sions along route 240 from having
lots with direct access on to the
highway. Another requires that
building lines be at least 81 feet
from the center of a road which
has not been classified under proce-
dures of the county road code.
The ordinance also requires con-
formity with the road code.
9 Lot Size
One section of the ordinance re-
quires that a lot be not more than
three times as deep as it is wide.
The upper county planners, who
worked with select groups through
cut the county in developing the
regulations, are now at work on
temporary master coming plan that
will embrace the 20 per cent of
the county's area which lies outside
the suburban area.
The council in adopting the ordin-
ance pointed out that it had met
in three lengthy night sessions to
consider it. The council last Sc
ptember had strenuously denied
"rumors" that the public hearing
would have no effect on the coun-
ellis action on the regulations.
