3. The cluster development does not exceed six (6) residences per cluster; <br />4. No residential dwelling within the cluster is further than one hundred (100) feet <br />from another residential dwelling; and <br />5. Sixty percent (60%) of the land outside of the cluster remains in contiguous open <br />space in perpetuity. Open space in cluster plats shall be held in common <br />ownership or maintained at existing land use or agricultural use. <br />6. Conservation plats are subject to the following provisions: <br />1. The conservation development does not exceed the density permitted by the zone <br />in which the development is located; <br />2. No conservation plat is adjacent to another cluster or conservation plat so that the <br />total conservation development exceeds six (6) units unless the proposed <br />developments are separated by an existing County road; <br />3. In a residential development in a conservation plat, lots must be located adjacent <br />to one another upon no more than fifty percent (50%) of the total property being <br />divided. <br />4. Seventy percent (70%) of the land outside of the conservation cluster remains in <br />open space for resource use in perpetuity. Open space in conservation plats may <br />either be held in common ownership, owned by a conservation entity, or remain <br />in the ownership of the farmstead or resource parcel. <br />7. Agricultural plats are subject to the following provisions: <br />1. No Agricultural plat shall be adjacent to another cluster, conservation or <br />agricultural plat so that the total development on the parcels within the adjacent <br />plats exceeds 10 units; <br />2. The agriculture development does not exceed the density permitted by the zone in <br />which the agricultural land is located. <br />3. The agricultural plat is necessitated or pursued for one or more of the following <br />reasons: <br />1. to accommodate housing for farm labor or farm family members; or <br />2. to implement an irrigation improvement; or <br />3. to create parcels of real property for financing purposes; or <br />4. to improve or increase agricultural efficiencies or dispose of property no <br />longer useful to the agricultural activities; or <br />5. to allow gradual or sequential platting as needed to ensure the economic <br />viability of the farm's future; or <br />6. to facilitate residential dwellings on acreages with varying sizes to allow <br />"small" farms such as Community Support Agriculture (CSA), local <br />farmer's market suppliers to exist in Ag and other zones while acres in <br />excess of those purchased remain with original owner but carry <br />nondevelopment status to meet the density of the underlying zone. <br />4. Dwellings shall be located with the plat in a manner which secures the necessity <br />of the plat as defined in 4(c) above and in a manner which does not adversely <br />impact productive farmland or on- or off-site agricultural activities. The <br />possibility that lots and dwellings may be located where they are impacted by <br />dust, irrigation water, or agricultural treatments or chemicals, or will encourage <br />trespass, or will interfere with the movement of agricultural vehicles or livestock, <br />or may be adversely impacted by noise or odor, should be minimized.
