Open <br />spaces should be accessible to pedestrians at roughly (1,200) foot <br />intervals along public roadways. Pedestrian corridors between lots <br />shall be at least (50) feet in width and buffered from view of adjacent <br />properties. <br /> <br />i) Septic systems are allowed in a septic easement in the open space as <br />approved by the City. <br /> <br />j) Buffer residential properties from incompatible uses with buffer zones <br />of at least (100) feet to minimize land use conflicts. The buffer zones <br />shall be thickly planted with native grasses, shrubs and trees.
