ARTICLE VIII
AREA, YARD AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
Sec 8.1 Generally
This Article is established to show the minimum size, width, and maximum height requirements for the land uses within each designated district. Lot size shall be based on factors including the size of the building required for that use, required parking, and ground water flow. The Planning and Zoning Board is authorized to increase minimum lot sizes and otherwise vary district development standards to accommodate the need to use septic tanks and/or wells and Health Department regulations in this regard. The unavailability of public sewer and/or water shall preclude the ability to develop projects which cannot utilize septic tanks.
