[Ord. 6-4-84, 6/4/1984, § 7.01]
The regulations of this district are designed to provide an
area for residential uses that are located adjacent to agricultural
areas of the Township. The rural residential zones are distinguished
by the absence of public water and sewers, with no possibility that
those facilities will be installed within the foreseeable future.
Although predominantly residential, these areas are compact in size
and retain a rural character, and the provisions of this article are
further designed to protect and enhance the combined features of the
district.
