Medium Density Residential District
This district allows a residential density of up to 1 dwelling per acre. The minimum lot size for single-household detached dwellings is 40,000 sq ft. Residential compounds will be the preferred type of residential development because they have low visual and environmental impact and fit the rural landscape. This district presently includes large estates, farms and large single-household residential lots, and the character of these lands should be maintained. Any intensive development here is not recommended. However, if major subdivision activity is proposed, cluster zoning techniques should be encouraged. Public water and public sewer service may be available but are not required. In addition, topographic and soil conditions in some portions of this district make large-scale development impractical. These areas may be environmentally sensitive and may contain much of the town's wetlands and prime agricultural areas.
