SECTION VIa
"R-R" RURAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
2A-10a PURPOSE
The "R-R" Rural Residential District is intended to
provide regulations for land that is being converted
to large lot residential uses . Tracts of land to be
included in this District must be larger than one and
one half (1 . 5) acres but smaller than ten (10) acres .
Because availability of either water or sewer services
for properties in this District are provided through
the use of individual wells or rural water type system
and septic systems they must meet Board of Health
standards . Areas to be developed shall be conducive
to the construction and operation of onsite waste
treatment systems and private water wells to be
determined by the Black Hawk County Health Department .
The Health Department may require an engineered plan
for onsite waste treatment systems and private water
wells . The purpose of this District is to restrict the
permitted uses to those that are compatible with
agricultural , residential, and environmentally
sensitive areas . Individuals building in this area
should be made aware of potential conflicts with
agricultural uses (such as the spreading of manure)
and that the City of Waterloo provides no protection
against 24 hour agricultural operations . Police and
fire protection, as well as other services, in the "R-
R" Rural Residential District may not be comparable to
other residential districts in the City of Waterloo.
This district should only be used in areas where the
City of Waterloo does not foresee extending
infrastructure due to topography or other barriers and
not used as a means to circumvent extending city
services in areas where it is feasible .
