R-S
Special Residential District
This district is primarily intended to address areas where there are concentrations of undersized lots and many failing on-lot sewage disposal systems. This district is intended to encourage the merger of undersized lots to reduce on-lot sewage disposal problems and to provide adequate separation distances between wells and on-lot sewage disposal systems. Many lots are so small that it is extremely difficult to install a modern on-lot sewage disposal system or to upgrade or replace an existing inadequate on-lot sewage disposal system. This district also is intended to encourage the development of a central water supply and central sewage disposal system in the future to serve this area. This district is also intended to decrease the number and severity of nonconformities.
