Those regulations did not allow for impervious coverage <br />over 20% unless a variance was sought and approved. When Sailor Tom's Way was approved the entire <br />subdivision was approved as one lot. Adhering to the old regulations would prevent any future additions <br />to the homes in that part of the subdivision as those improvements would exceed the impervious <br />coverage limits. The request before the CPDC is to allow for the subdivision to be reviewed and <br />approved under the new Aquifer Protection District regulations. Under these regulations, each lot would <br />be subject to compliance and will limit impervious coverage to 15% or 2,500 square feet, whichever is <br />greater. Mr. Zambouras has reviewed the infiltration calculations using the new regulations. He <br />recommends the CPDC approved the modification request and lift the previous conditions imposed by <br />the CPDC. The previous conditions included limiting the maximum impervious amounts to 24,080 <br />square feet for each lot and that the driveways are to be constructed with turfstone — a pervious material. <br />Page 1 of 7 <br />
