In order for the property to be developed, any use must meet certain dimensional standards, including a 50-foot minimum lot width and a 105-foot minimum depth for the SF-2 development type in the RMD zoning district, or receive approval of a Variance, or a Special Exception, in order to preclude an inadvertent taking of the property. In addition, the minimum lot size for an SF-2 in the RMD zone is 5,500 square feet. In this instance, the Special Exception application seemed more appropriate.
