The intent for establishing this district is
to encourage the preservation of the existing character and residential
life-styles of the Spring Mill area which is essentially fully developed
and which exhibits a mixture of single-family detached, single-family
semidetached and single-family attached dwellings on smaller lot sizes
than those found throughout the Township which were developed prior
to the institution of zoning controls in the Township. Furthermore,
it is the intent for establishing this District to guide the future
development or redevelopment of the area in order to preserve and
enhance the present character and thus avoid rapid deterioration or
transition to the detriment of the local residents and the general
welfare of the Township.
