Protected Woodland /Hammock Trails 16 8 To provide for flexibility and adaptability of development patterns to particular site or ownership conditions development within the East Rural Area may occur in one of eight zoning districts in three Tiers representing Large Lot, Conservation and Hamlet subdivision typologies. Tier I -Large Lot Subdivision Property owners in the East Rural Area have the option to retain existing large lot zoning designations in the A-3, A-5 and A-10 zoning districts as established by Seminole County. Permitted densities in Tier One are determined by the applicable minimum lot sizes. Tier II -Conservation Subdivision . Development in Tier II will consist of single family subdivision of a minimum of 20 acres in the three designations below. The total number of permitted dwellings is determined by the designated gross density applied to the site area of the tract. Minimum lot sizes are not directly regulated, but are determined by the amount of developable area (site area of a tract minus the amount of open space required to be retained divided by the gross density. Rural Transitional -Subdivisions with a permitted gross density of 2 dwellings per acre and a minimum of 40% of the site area retained as open space Rural Conservation 1 -Subdivisions with a permitted gross density of 1 dwelling per acre and a minimum of 50% of the site area retained as open space. Rural Conservation 2 -Subdivisions with a permitted gross density of 0.5 dwelling per acre and a minimum of 60% of the site area retained as open space. Tier III -Hamlet Development Development in Tier III will consist of small lot single family attached and detached development of two types. Rural Hamlet - This designation applies as a floating zone that may be considered as a conditional designation applicable at the discretion of the City of Winter Springs on tracts of 40 acres or more which retain a minimum of 70% of site area as open space. Development may consist of a mix of small lot single family detached and attached dwellings including townhouses and patio homes. Lakefront Hamlet -This is a fixed designation which is applied to the existing development adjacent to the fish camp at Lake Jesup.
