The average parcel size within theplanning area is almost thirty acres. No subdivision with construction of a streethas been established in this planning area in the past several years.• Natural Features: This entire planning area is located in the flood hazard areaassociated with the Ohio River and is the location of the water well fields used byFort Knox.
