Estate Residence District

The ER-1 Estate Residence District is intended for single- family residential development on estate type lots. These lots would also allow for individual private wells and septic disposal systems, if needed or required. This district is intended to create an environment that allows a mixture of agricultural uses and homes on lots larger than typical for urban type residential areas. The permitted uses, lot area, setbacks and other requirements are designed to encourage a quality residential area in a rural setting. The district is located where similar rural development presently exists and where similar residential development appears likely to occur in the future. Land annexed to the Village is automatically zoned ER-1 until otherwise rezoned by an ordinance approved by the Village Board. This district is not intended for commercial, office or industrial uses; however, certain facilities required to serve governmental, educational, religious, recreational and other needs of the area may be permitted within the district as special uses subject to restrictions intended to preserve and protect its residential character.
