(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.
