Suburban Residential District
The purpose of the Suburban Residential District is to acknowledge and respect an established pattern of residential development, predominantly on one- and two-acre lots, such as exists along the Sea Road and Route 35 corridors between Kennebunk Village and Lower Village. The intention of the district is to allow additional development that is harmonious with the established neighborhoods in these areas, can safely coexist with the rural and suburban landscape of these areas, including wooded lands, adjacent wetlands, and a gently rolling topography and roadways that are fitted to that topography and will not unduly change the historic character of segments of these areas. The Comprehensive Plan recognized that public sewer lines serve portions of the Suburban Residential District and may be extended to other parts of the district to replace failing septic systems on poor soils; but the Plan's intention for the district is to maintain a relatively low density of development as a break between the more intensely developed Kennebunk Village and Lower Village.
