SECTION 5. SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE "RE" RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. <br />The minimum lot size in the "RE" zoning district is five (5) acres, but most of the existing `estates' are located on land parcels much <br />larger than five (5) acres. All but one of the parcels mapped as "estate" are built upon and are not expected to be subdivided or re- <br />developed in the near future. This five (5) acre minimum lot size plan allows for land transfers from the least dense land category to a <br />classification that allows for denser development. However, it is important to note that the Gem Lake Comprehensive plan does not <br />project or assume any immediate change in the existing pattern of development on these properties. <br />If, in the future, this land is sub -divided, it would be is possible to include "RS" development along the perimeter thoroughfares of <br />the "RE" area to provide diversity of housing. <br />Principal and accessory buildings should be located so as to allow for possible future subdivision to "RX" or "RS" lots. In order to <br />maximize the efficiency of roads and municipal services, master planning, clustering or similar land use concepts should be used <br />when sub -dividing "RE" zoned land to maximize benefits. (Refer to pages 5-5 and 5-21 of the 2008 Comprehensive plan for the <br />source of these details). <br />1. Permitted Uses.
