Residential-80 Watershed District
The R-80W zoning districts are known as residential watershed districts. These districts allow very-low-density residential development in the form of single-family detached dwellings and duplexes. A limited number of nonresidential uses are also allowed, but generally only if the Board of Adjustment first reviews and approves a site plan and Special Use Permit for such use.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Housing-Mobile home park
Park & open space
Dec 27, 2024 • Final
Permit for residential wastewater (septic)
Upgrade the septic tank and flow capacity for an existing home to accommodate an additional bedroom. Install a second upgraded septic tank for a pool house to replace a failing unit.
Plumbing
Oct 1, 2024 • Final
Residential alteration
Perform interior alterations to a residential building including moving a non-load-bearing master bedroom wall and removing a kitchen wall section to install a new structural beam. Repair moisture damage by replacing floor joists, subflooring, and the perimeter band, and install a new drop girder with concrete footings for additional support. Modify the sunroom floor height with new purlins and subflooring, and replace a basement column with a new structural beam to address moisture damage.
