Previous subdivision of adjacent properties has provided limited access which restricts <br /> development potential. [From Andover] <br /> C.

[From <br /> Andover] <br /> D. Property is located within a Shoreland District, Scenic River District,Wellhead Protection Area, <br /> or Drinking Water Supply Management Area due to State requirements towards limiting impacts <br /> to the above noted items.
