This district is intended for rural portions of the Town which
are characterized by farms, extremely low density residential uses
and preservation of open space. In accordance with the Town of Lysander
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, preservation of farmland shall be of
the highest priority. Properties within this district typically rely
upon individual on-site systems for provision of essential water supply
and septic disposal. Therefore, in order to ensure adequate separation
of these essential systems and to prevent any undue burden upon the
natural environment, the required minimum residential lot size is
the largest within the Town. The large lot is furthermore intended
to promote a separation of farms and unrelated residential uses to
protect both activities from the potential adverse effects each has
upon the other. The overall level of development within this district
is encouraged to be maintained at a low intensity so that the cumulative
effects of development are able to be absorbed within the existing
unimproved conditions and facilities of the area.
