. The property is surrounded on 3 sides by 2.5 acre lots; to the east is M-Vale, to the south are 2.5 acre lots, to the north is Hobitt Hills and to the west is an undeveloped 40 acre parcel. The surrounding properties are all zoned Rla. Wetlands There are 10 wetlands that impact this development. Six are located in the north and northeast portion of the plat. They impact the layout of the road as well as the configuration of the lot lines.
