Great potential with the floorplan. The master bedroom is on the main level with the others downstairs. The large yard provides privacy. Needs work.

Rural Residential District

The RR Use Regulations are intended to create and enhance residential areas where agricultural use compatible with a dominant, permanent residential use is desired. Typically, the RR Use Regulations would be applied to rural or semi-rural areas where urban levels of service are not available and where large lots are desired. Various applications of the RR Use Regulations with appropriate development designators can create buffers between residential and agricultural uses, family or small farm areas, or large lot rural residential developments.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Fire house
Agriculture-Cropland
