R-1 Districts: 10,000 square feet. D. Special designs: (1) In cases where a developer has designed special groups of dwellings and garages, the Planning Board, after inspecting plans and elevations, may approve smaller minimum lot sizes than those in Subsection C above, provided that the sanitary systems are approved by the State Health Officer, that the average density does not exceed that permitted within the zoning district in which the land occurs and that the layout is not detrimental to the health and general welfare of the community. (2) For each square foot of land gained within a residential subdivision through the reduction of lot size below the required average density requirements as set forth in this chapter, equal amounts of land shall be preserved and maintained as open land and the development rights thereto shall be conveyed to the Town of Sodus. (3) The balance of the land not contained in the lots or the road right-of-way, if provided, shall be contiguous and of such size and shape as to be usable for recreation or agriculture. (4) Such land shall be held in corporate ownership by the owners of lots within the development, and the developer shall incorporate into the deeds of all property within the development a clause giving to the owners an interest in such open land which shall be used for recreation only. No structure other than those incidentals to the recreational use shall be permitted thereon. (5) Open land shall be a minimum of three acres and shall be subject to taxation, unless it is deeded to the Town. In the case of such tracts of five or more acres, the developer may petition the Town to take over the land to be used in perpetuity as open space. E. Any residential development proposed under the provisions of this section shall follow all applicable procedures, standards and requirements of Chapter 109 , Subdivision of Land, of the Code of the Town of Sodus.
