This combined footprint allows for superior site planning, optimized drainage, and the potential for a larger-scale residential community of 18+ units (subject to final county approval). Infrastructure: Move forward with confidence—preliminary research indicates that municipal water and sewer lines are within reach to serve the site, a critical advantage for high-density development.
