being met: a) this lot is significantly and disportionately impacted by
the no-construction green belt; b) the boundaries of the "no construction
area were" not established using surveyed lines and setting pins,
but are an estimated boundary drawn on the final plat; and given the imprecise
method of establishing these areas some flexibility in the interpretation
of the intended location is necessary; c) the intent of the green belt
is the preservation of wildlife habitat, mainly movement corridors. Some
unbuilt open space, which would provide a buffer between structures. Most
of the green belt is adjacent to the roads and back slopes of the road
network, in reality providing little of the intended use; d) the total
area estimated as green belt is 9.9 acres, the total park requirement
for this major plat is 4.3 and this results in an area twice the amount
of required parkland being set aside; and e) the Board of Commissioners
concurs that allowing the construction of the house, well, septic system,

Environmental Quality will not result in violation of the intent of the
green belt agreement on the face of the final plat. Seconded by Commissioner
