It is zoned Residential-1 and <br /> designated Rural Residential in the Land Use Element <br /> of the Comprehensive Plan. In 1987 the traffic count <br /> for SR 1102 near Highway 54 was 1400 trips per day. <br /> Adjacent land uses are residential. <br /> The total acreage of the tract is 35.91 acres. Eight <br /> (8) lots are proposed which range from 1.11 to 7.51 <br /> acres in size. These lots will be served by individual <br /> wells and septic tanks. The only soils suitable for <br /> sewage disposal are located along the top of the knoll <br /> near the central eastern boundary (refer to attachment <br /> showing location of perc sites) . For this reason, the <br /> lots on the west side of Forest Knolls Drive are <br /> larger than those on the east side. Restrictive <br /> covenants are proposed to prohibit further subdivision <br />
