TOWN OF GRANBY ZONING REGULATIONS TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECTION 8
SPECIAL REGULATIONS
8.20.7.3 The Commission, in its sole discretion, may permit non-commercial
recreational uses within the open space, provided that such uses are not
inconsistent with or harmful to the preservation of the restricted area or to the
character of the neighborhood. The Commission may also permit activities
and accessory structures necessary to support open space and agricultural
uses.
8.20.7.4 The Commission may modify any application so as to designate Open Space
in locations other than those proposed if such modification will further the
conditions and requirements set forth in Section 8.20.9.1 and Section 8.11.
8.20.7.5 To determine the maximum number of lots permitted in a FRD, the total area
to be developed shall be reduced by subtracting 75% of the wetlands, watercourses,
water bodies, flood plain A zones, 100% of slopes in excess of 20%
that extend 50 linear feet or more, 10% of the total area for roadways, and
100% of all designated use areas other than single family lots and open space.
The remaining area shall be divided by the minimum lot size permitted in the
zone, as outlined in Section 5, in which the subdivision is proposed. An
increase in density may be only allowed as provided in Section 8.11.
For Example: Total acreage minus 75% of wetlands, watercourses, water
bodies and flood plain A zones, 100% of qualifying slopes, and 10% of the
total acreage for roads = "X". "X" divided by the minimum lot size = number
lots permitted. Not withstanding the number of lots produced by this formula, a
FRD must not result in the creation of more lots than would occur in a standard
subdivision. A conceptual standard design plan must be prepared for this
purpose.

Connecticut Department of Health Regulations as administered by the
Farmington Valley Health District and the State Department of Environmental
Protection, as applicable.
