The <br /> size of the tract is 12 .72 acres, and the average lot size <br /> is 45,236 square feet. The property is zoned AR <br /> Agricultural Residential. The County Land Use Plan <br /> designation is Agricultural Residential. No watershed <br /> designation has been assigned to the general area. <br /> The property is wooded. Land uses generally to the east <br /> and west are residential and wooded. The north side of <br /> the tract is bounded by Yarborough Road, and the south <br /> side runs along a "Low Swamp Area" paralleling a creek. <br /> The swampy area is primarily on the neighboring Larry <br /> Little property. A 600-foot contour line running through <br /> the southern portions of lots 4, 5, 6, and 7, however, <br /> indicates that there is a possibility of low lying wet <br /> area intrusion into the proposed subdivision. This could <br /> require the inclusion of a drainage easement and related <br /> buffers on the plat. Erosion Control Staff inspection <br /> prior to submission of the Final Plat will assist in <br /> determining this. <br />
