It is the intent of this article to provide areas for religious,
educational, health, retirement, municipal and community facilities

large scale might require and at the same time prevent the domination
of or disruption of the amenities of life in neighboring residential
areas while providing the landowner with the option for single-family
development.

mausoleums or crematoriums.

of the above-permitted uses.
Each lot shall have a minimum lot width of not less than 200

owner may elect one of the streets to establish the minimum lot width
for purposes of this section.

lots and vehicular accessways may not exceed 40% of the total lot

a public street which must have a minimum thirty-foot paved cartway.
The existing road system must be able to accommodate, in a safe and
efficient manner, the peak traffic generated by the institution. Existing
residential traffic shall not be infringed upon by significant volumes
of traffic from the proposed facility.
D.
Access. A planned system of efficient ingress, egress, and internal
