Rural Residential District
It is the intent of this district to set aside areas of the Township where new, low density residential uses can be accommodated. Included in this district are areas north and west of Deitrich Road; areas south of Zion Back Road; areas south of generally surrounding the Village of Hublersburg; the acreage known as the Woods at Sand Ridge in the northcentral section of the Township; as well areas along the ridge at the Township's northern boundary. Public or municipal sewage treatment and/or water supply are generally not available in this zone. Minimum lot size requirements are therefore based upon the need to safeguard the health of the residents and to preserve the peaceful, rural character of these areas of the Township. Multi-family or higher density residential uses are not included in this zoning district, nor are other potentially incompatible non-residential uses.
