residential development, primarily in single-family platted subdivisions
or site condominium developments. Reduced lot sizes are permitted
in those locations where public water and sanitary sewer are available
or can be provided. This district is specifically intended to accommodate
housing in areas of the Township where low density development has
previously occurred. Development within the R-1 District should preserve,
to the extent feasible, natural resources and rural character, consistent
with the goals and policies of the Township Master Plan.
