The land falls in the Medium Density Residential zoning district, which is not described by the previous Ordinance. The previous zoning map includes a description of the Medium Density Residential zone and sets a minimum lot size. 2. The land is suitable for development in its natural state for residential use with minimum alterations as the land is generally flat and does not contain any natural features that would limit development. 3. Each lot has adequate space for the placement of two standard sewage treatment systems. The soil survey indicates that this area has soils that are "Very Suitable" for septic tank and drainfield applications, however soil borings were not provided and would need to be completed prior to septic installation. 4. The governing Ordinance does not provide lot use or dimension standards for a Medium Density Residential zone. The property falls partially within the shoreland area. The zoning map indicates that the minimum lot size for this zone is 20,000 sq. ft. The lots all are greater than 40,000 sq. ft. Setbacks are also indicated on the plat and each lot provides adequate space for development. 5. Each lot has at least thirty-three feet of frontage on right-of-way for the proposed Josh Court. 6. The proposed Josh Court will not have a gradient in excess of 15% as this area is relatively plat and would not require any gradients near that high.
