4 The minimum lot area is 4 acres. Within that lot, a “building envelope” of no more than one acre will include all land that is to be disturbed.

5 The maximum impervious surface ratio is 18% of the one-acre building envelope.

6 If adjoining a lot which contains a single-family dwelling outside the MDR Zoning District, the required minimum setback is 50’.
