<br />This text presents a creative method to balance
<br />conservation and development in the design of residential
<br />subdivisions. Arendt offers a four-step subdivision design
<br />process that involves identifying a development site's
<br />sensitive environmental lands (e.g., floodplains),
<br />configuring lots and homesites on the most buildable
<br />portions of the site, and maintaining at least half of the site
<br />as undeveloped open space. (See chapters 3 and 4 of this
<br />report for a detailed description of the process.)

<br />Describes various means to preserve rural and small

<br />conventional subdivision development, most importantly
<br />advocating open space subdivision design (cluster
<br />development) to increase open space, protect
<br />environmentally sensitive areas, and prevent sprawl.

<br />Offers cost-effective principles, techniques, and case

<br />sites that contain constraints associated with topography,
<br />geology, groundwater, surface drainage, vegetation, and
<br />climate. Regulatory constraints, such as zoning and
<br />environmental protection, are also addressed.
