CON
Conservation District
Much of the Township land abutting the Connoquenessing Creek is in the 100-year floodplain or impacted by wetlands. Development has long been present in the floodplain, mostly residential and mainly summer cottages, some of which are now permanent homes. Further development within the floodplain should occur only in accordance with the Township's floodplain management regulations. Very-low-density housing and open space activities are appropriate in this district.
