§ 9.3  PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: G, AR AND RR ZONES.
   (A)   General. The following property development standards shall apply to all land and buildings, other than accessory buildings, permitted in their respective zones; except that, any lot shown on an official subdivision map that was duly approved and recorded, or any lot for which a bonafide deed was duly recorded in conformance with the zoning in effect prior to the date of adoption of this code may be used as a building site; excepting therefrom any lot having an area of less than 6,000 square feet. For access purposes, each building site shall have a minimum 30-foot wide easement or right-of-way. A turnaround with a minimum radius of 25 feet shall be provided at the end of each easement over 150 feet in length. No fences or other obstructions shall be placed in the easement area, except with written permission of all other property owners served by the easement. For any parcel of land created after 1-3-1995, an access road to the parcel must be provided prior to the delivery of any combustible building materials. Said access road must be constructed to an all weather standard.
   (B)   Special requirements.
      (1)   In the AR and RR Zone, the minimum lot size shall be one acre. However, larger minimum lot sizes may be specified and designated on the Official Zoning Map by attaching a number designation following the zone classification: such number shall be in increments of one-half acre. For example, “AR-2” means “Agricultural Residential - two-acre minimum lot size”; “AR-2-1/2” means “Agricultural Residential - two and one-half acre minimum lot size”; and the like.
      (2)   In the G, AR and RR Zones, structures permitted under § 9.1(C)(3), Public and Semi-Public Uses, § 9.1(C)(4), and Other Uses, shall maintain a minimum setback of 50 feet from all property lines. Interior side and rear setback areas may be used for off-street parking, landscaping and recreational purposes.
      (3)   A travel trailer, park model or fifth-wheel trailer, but not a recreational vehicle, may be established as a permanent residence in the G or AR Zones, subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Establishment shall require the installation of a permanent wastewater disposal system and connection to appropriate utilities. Establishment shall require a town building permit.
      (4)   In the G, AR and RR Zones, one recreational vehicle, park model or travel trailer per lot or parcel may be used for temporary residency not to exceed 100 days per year; provided, the lot or parcel is not already occupied by a dwelling. A temporary use permit shall be obtained prior to establishing said temporary residence, and the travel trailer, park model or recreational vehicle must be removed from the parcel upon the expiration of the temporary use permit. Approval may be subject to conditions.
      (5)   In the G and AR Zones, a temporary use permit may be issued to allow the storage of one mobile home per lot or parcel for a period not to exceed 30 days.
      (6)   In the G, AR and RR Zones, as a precaution against unauthorized use, swimming pools when located within 300 feet of a neighboring residence shall be enclosed by a wall or fence not less than five feet in height, in accordance with the requirements of the town.
