This is <br />the general area of Elk River which is not primarily suited to <br />farming due to soil conditions, slope, tree cover, and other <br />physical features better suited for nonfarm housing and related <br />accessory uses. <br /> <br />R-1b - Single FamilY - Low Density Residential <br />
