This District is intended to allow for a low density semi-rural lifestyle area where topographic features or the natural environment make the land less suitable for row crop production or more intense development. Development in this District is often integrated and appropriately incorporated into natural or wooded areas, which often makes the most suitable use of land for single-family homes on large lots. These areas are designed to be served by private water and sanitary sewer systems on a permanent basis with no central sewers planned for this area.
