It is zoned Residential -i and <br />designated as Rural Residential in the Land Use <br />Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Adjacent land uses <br />are residential. <br />In 1988, a plan for Falling Cedars was submitted for <br />nine (9) lots. However, the Health Department <br />approved the Preliminary Plan for only eight (8) lots. <br />The Final Plat was approved with eight lots served by <br />a Class B private road and individual wells and septic <br />tanks. Two lots (1 and 7) had easements on other lots <br />for sewage disposal. <br />Following recordation of the Final Plat, the owner <br />acquired the services of a soil scientist who was able <br />to identify a ninth location for sewage disposal that <br />was subsequently approved by Environmental Health. The <br />applicant has submitted a revised Preliminary Plat to <br />create the ninth lot in Falling Cedars. <br />The total acreage of the tract is 20.53 acres. The <br />average lot size (exclusive of right -of -way) is 2.01 <br />
