(Reserved for future water extensions.)
A. Purpose and intent. The A-R District is intended for
undeveloped portions of the Town in proximity to areas already developed
for residential purposes and is likely to be developed for suburban-type
development in proximity to existing services within villages or the
city. The district is intended to accommodate the continued use of
existing farms and to allow for some minimal residential development
in appropriate locations (e.g., within proximity to existing or proposed
water infrastructure but not within proximity to existing or proposed
wastewater infrastructure extensions). Residential land use within
this district will rely on individual on-site septic systems for wastewater
disposal within the estimated planning horizon of 10 years. Therefore,
residential lots in this district are larger than the R-1 District
to ensure that wastewater effluent does not burden local groundwater
supplies. A secondary rationale is to discourage the premature extension
of public sewer infrastructure.
B. Uses permitted by right with a building permit as
required shall be as follows:
(1) Single-family dwelling on a permanent foundation and
