This A-1 district is established to protect woodlands and agricultural lands from
the premature or unnecessary conversion to more intense land uses. Their protection
will help to minimize environmental hazards such as flooding, erosion, siltation,
and air and water pollution. Prevention of excessive land conversion will serve to
maintain the character and quality of the rural environment and will minimize urbanization
in those areas where roads and other public facilities are scaled to meet only rural
needs. Large lot subdivisions may be permitted where not in conflict with the intent
of this article.
