R-1
Residential District
The R-1 Residential District is intended to maintain areas of low population density, compatible with the existing rural character and pattern of single-family residential land use, the significant constraints imposed by the natural environment particularly steep slopes and groundwater limitations, the lack of existing or planned community sewage facilities, the limited capacity of the road network, and the policy of the Township to limit the use of central water supply systems within the district in order to provide for orderly growth and utilization of natural resources in accordance with the Township Comprehensive Plan. Residential densities and dwelling types are established as means to achieve this land conservation objective and as appropriate components of the overall pattern of land use that is provided throughout the Township. Clustering of single-family dwellings is offered and encouraged as a site design mechanism to further the resource conservation objective.
