Land Tracking Summary for the 4th Quarter of 2012 (October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012)
Prepared January 25th, 2013
The most meaningful numbers from the attached Tracking report to focus on are as follows: Residential
Subdivision Rate, Residential Development Rate, Preservation Rate and Density Reduction. All of the other
numbers and definitions are used to calculate these four numbers. This page of the report will summarize these
four numbers for both the current quarter and cumulatively from April 1, 2004 on for the target areas (buildable
subdividable R-40, R-80 and AC). In addition a summary of the Target Area follows indicating the acreages
within the target area that have been developed and preserved and the acreages that are still available for
development.
4th Quarter of 2012 Summary

Definitions
Density Reduction Preservation: Preservation of buildable land that contributes to density reduction, for
example development rights purchases.
Non-density Reduction Preservation: Preservation of buildable land that does not contribute to density
reduction, for example clustered open space created through the subdivision process.
Density reduction non-preservation: Land that contributed to density reduction but that is not considered
preserved, for example certain covenants and restrictions.
Acreage of Preservation: The acreage of preservation is calculated as the sum of DENSITY
REDUCTION PRESERVATION and NON-DENSiTY REDUCTION PRESERVATION.
Residential Subdivision Rate: The residential subdivision rate is calculated as NUMBER OF NON-
SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS CREATED divided by the sum of
ACREAGE OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS CREATED and
ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION. ACREAGE
OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS will also include ROW and
recharge areas created through the subdivision process. The NUMBER OF NON-SUBDIVIDABLE
BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS CREATED includes those created by both the Planning
Board and the ZBA. Only ZBA approvals that create new parcels compared to the Town Assessors'
records as of April 1, 2004 will be included in the numbers above. Further subdividable parcels will not
be tracked until they become non-subdividable or preserved.
Residential Development Rate: The residential development rate is calculated as NUMBER OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS divided by the sum of ACREAGE OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS and ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION and
DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION. Note that the NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS may not equal the number of new residential building permits
actually issued in cases where permits for multiple family dwellings are issued. Building permits issued
on subdividable parcels will be included in this number with the developed acreage being equal to the
minimum zoning acreage. Should this development end up as part of a subdivision where it is clustered
to a smaller parcel or within a defined building envelope then the parcel or envelope size will be
considered the developed acreage and the numbers above will be adjusted. Renewal, accessory,
remodeling, etc. building permits are not included above.
Preservation Rate: The preservation rate is calculated as ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION divided by
the sum of ACREAGE OF PRESERVATION and ACREAGE OF NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
UNITS ISSUED PERMITS and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATiON.
Density Reduction: The density reduction is calculated as the difference of NUMBER OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY ZONING and NUMBER OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS divided by NUMBER OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY ZONING. The NUMBER OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING UNITS ALLOWED BY ZONING is calculated as the sum of DENSITY
REDUCTION PRESERVATION and DENSITY REDUCTION NON-PRESERVATION multiplied by
the subdivision factor from the 2020 Comp Plan update plus the NUMBER OF NEW RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING UNITS ISSUED PERMITS.
