Planning and Review
1. Roads, parking, campsites and required facilities shall be planned in accordance with the basic principles outlined below, and shall be shown on the proposed plan which is submitted for review and approval as a Conditional Permitted Use:
a. A logical sequence of entry and circulation should be created: entrance, administration and storage, parking, campsites, toilets and laundry, playing fields or shoreline.
b. Campsites should be clustered in groups according to intensity of use (low density, medium density, etc.) and also related to common support service areas (laundries, play areas, etc.) serving a number of campsite clusters. The purpose is to minimize road length, increase accessibility, and preserve open space.
c. Footpaths and roads should follow "desire lines" of pedestrian and vehicular movement between campsites and all jointly used facilities. Parking areas may be grassed provided there is a dry and stable subbase.
d. Access roads shall be laid out as loops to the greatest extent that is practicable, although "culde-sacs" or "dead-ends" may be allowed to serve up to twenty campsites.
2. A soil erosion and sedimentation control approved by the County Soil and Water Conservation District shall be submitted. In addition to data on soils, slopes and drainage, a vegetation map showing the following items may be required:
a. The major types of vegetation should be identified and described (as to age, height, openness or density, and pattern, either natural or reforested).
b. New planting should be selected to provide screening and shelter, to tolerate existing and proposed site conditions, and to blend compatibly with existing natural vegetation.
c. All vegetative clearing should avoid creating straight-line edges between open land and surviving stands.
d. Areas of activity and/or traffic should be sited to avoid wildlife areas (such as thickets for birds and small mammals, or deer yards and trails).
