Single family residences are proposed for the lots. The lots will be served by septic systems and wells, as well as cisterns due to the depth of the aquifer in the area. Access for all 4 lots will be offof Spring Creek Road. Two shared accesses are being proposed due to the terrain of the lots in regards to sight and safety.
