The Planning & Zoning Board may require larger
setbacks and distances, and it may permit smaller setbacks and distances if it
finds that such smaller setbacks will not detract from the purpose and intent of
the ARD. 5. Number of Dwellings. The maximum number of ARD dwelling units in the Town
of Easton shall be limited to a number equivalent to five percent (5%) of the
existing single-family residential housing units (excluding ARD units) location
in the Town of Easton. The number of single-family residential housing units for
the purpose of this By-law shall be established by the Board of Assessors as of
January 1 of the calendar year, in which the special Permit application is filed. a. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted in an ARD shall be
computed by dividing the developable area of the ARD tract (in square
feet) by one-half (1/2) of the minimum lot size required in the underlying
zoning district. For the purpose of this computation, the “developable”
area shall be the total area of the tract, including the Common Land, but
excluding all streams, ponds, wetlands, 100 year floodplains, drainage
easements, and areas subject to existing valid open space restrictions. 6. Streets and Utilities. All streets in the ARD shall be private ways. All streets,
and all sewage, drainage facilitates, and utilities, shall be designed and
constructed in compliance with the Town of Easton Subdivision Rules and
Regulations, except as specifically modified by the following design standards:
a. The minimum width of rights-of-way shall be forty (40) feet. b. The minimum widths of roadways (paved travel area) shall be twenty-two
(22) feet for streets providing access for up to and including 40 dwellings,
and twenty-four (24) feet for streets providing access for more than 40
dwellings.
