(a)

Scope and purpose. This section applies to the AG 20 Agricultural District. The purpose of classifying land and water areas within this district is to protect viable long-term agricultural/forestry lands classified as land use category Agricultural A under the comprehensive plan from encroachment of incompatible land uses and by encouraging agriculture and related uses. Family lots, temporary family lots, medical hardships, homestead division, and any divisions of less than 20 acres are all prohibited. One dwelling unit per parcel will be permitted and each parcel shall have immediate access to an existing county-maintained road. Minimum lot size is 20 acres. Development must meet building codes and have a county department of health approved well and septic tank installation. Accessory uses and special uses are also permitted. All land divisions smaller than 20 acres are required to conform to subdivision requirements.
