(a) Purpose of agricultural district. The agricultural district protects
land needed for agricultural pursuits from encroachment by untimely
and unplanned development. The agricultural district includes areas
of the township used for farming, dairying, forestry and other rural
activities, including vacant, fallow and wooded lands interspersed
among the farms. Gradually, based upon the township's adopted
master plan, some agricultural districts will be converted to other
uses.
(b) Purpose of one-family district. The one-family districts are established
to provide principally for one-family dwellings at varying densities.
The specific interest of these districts is to encourage the construction
and continued use of one-family dwellings and to prohibit the use
of the land which would substantially interfere with the development
of one-family dwellings and to discourage any land use which, because
of its character and size, would create requirements and costs for
public services substantially in excess of those at the specified
densities and to discourage any land use which would generate excessive
traffic on local streets.
(c) Permitted uses. The letter "X" designates the district in which the
use may be permitted.

The minimum size or lot area and width for one-family districts
may be reduced as provided in the township's subdivision regulations.
Where public sewer and water service are not available, all R-1-B
and R-1-C lots shall have a minimum area of 12,000 square feet. No
one-family lot shall have a depth greater than three times its width.
| |
|
**
|
Minimum area of lots in the A-1 agricultural district which
are used, in whole or in part for agricultural purposes, shall be
five acres, with a minimum frontage of 300 feet. Minimum area of lots
in the A-1 agricultural district, where no agricultural activity is
conducted, shall be one acre, with a minimum frontage of 120 feet.
For purposes of this section, the term "agricultural" shall mean the
raising or keeping of animals, including poultry, for any purpose.
Livestock density shall be one animal per acre, exclusive of lot area
occupied by structures. For purposes of this section, the term "livestock"
shall include, by way of example and not limitation, horses, cattle
and sheep. A suitable fence or other enclosure shall be erected around
the area occupied by livestock.
| |
|
***
|
With the approval of the planning commission, where the size
and shape of the parcel or the proposed curvilinear road pattern requires
greater flexibility in subdivision design, a platted subdivision may
be permitted to contain not more than 15% of all lots with less than
120 feet of depth in the R-1-C district; 130 feet in the R-1-B district;
150 feet in the R-1-A district, 200 feet in the R-20 district, 250
feet in the R-30 district. Where such permission is granted, the minimum
lot width of such lot shall be increased by two feet in all residential
districts for each one-foot reduction in lot depth; however, in no
case shall the lot depth of any one-family residential district be
decreased by more than 10 feet from the depth standard contained in
this paragraph.
