So I have a very dumb question. My company is currently working on a new subdivision and we are currently in charge of creating their lot survey plans. I have a block that is abutting about 5 acres of a restrictive reserve labeled "Restricted to Drill Site, Landscape, Open Space & Recreation". All lots within the block are abutting said Reserve from the rear property line. Their city ordinance does mention that rear setback lines can be either 15', or 20' if it fronts common areas.
Under the definition of common areas, does a reservation for 'drill site' also be considered a common area? the word 'Recreation' automatically makes it a common area by definition, if I'm not mistaken, but being also a drill site is it still considered a common area? I'm leaning towards showing the 20' building line on the rear but still puzzles me if 15' should be the norm for these 'drill site' areas.
"Drill site" is a rather scary wording use. It would be OK if it only allowed one or multilpe potable wells to serve multiple lots but is very scary if it allows oil and gas wells.

It won't matter what we think it means. You need to ask your city planning department.?ÿ
