Development in this zone is without municipal utility service j and with only limited demand for accessibility. Rural Residential zoning should be used to preserve rural character. The purpose and intent of the Forest Management zone is to provide a zoning classification for sustainable management of forested areas,to establish and maintain timber resources,to protect the natural environment,to preserve undeveloped areas and to provide recreation opportunities. Development patterns are characterized as very low- density residential without municipal utility service and with only limited demand for accessibility.
