Purpose. The purpose of the "RA" district is to restrict residential development to relatively large lots in recognition of the rural characteristics still prevailing in the Freneau area of the Township. Due to the absence of public sanitary sewerage facilities in this area, septic systems are required. Relatively large residential lots are required for this district in response to the inherently restrictive limitations that the soil and geologic conditions present for adequate drainage and filtering of septic effluent.

Cluster Single-Family Residential Developments are permitted in the "RA" district when connected to public water and sewerage facilities. The purpose of the Cluster Single-Family provision is to accommodate pressures for growth while fostering properly coordinated open spaces and recreational areas, the preservation of flood plain and wooded areas and an optimum street network within the overall development design. (See subsections 25-4.3e and 25-6.2.)
