A local street may separate lots from <br />open space. <br /> <br />d) Views shall be preserved on and off-site to the maximum possible. <br /> <br />e) Locate neighborhood recreation open spaces such that they are an <br />integral part of the neighborhood or the surrounding home sites, are <br />at an elevation appropriate to their intended recreational use, have <br />boundaries that are clearly defined and are accessible to all <br />neighborhood residents from a public street. <br /> <br />f) <br /> <br />Preserve natural habitat to the maximum extent possible in a <br />contiguous, connected configuration.
