This is copied from your zoning code (some of the information did not line up correctly). I've highlighted the pertinent information:
Section 400. R-2 WOODLAND CONSERVATION AND RURAL FARM DISTRICT
Section 401. SPECIFIC INTENT
In addition to the general goals listed in Section 101, it is the purpose of this district to encourage woodland con-
servation, rural conservation and farming by preserving natural features such as forests, watersheds and water-
courses, and farm land while perpetuating the rural atmosphere, open space and scenic landscapes. Residential
use is allowed but not encouraged provided that sufficient space is available for on-lot sewage disposal which
will not create any menace to public health, and natural features are not unduly disturbed.
