GENERAL REGULATIONS

SECTION 303 REGULATION OF LOTS

A. Lot Area - No parcel of land shall hereafter be so reduced or divided

so as to provide less than the minimum lot size required in the zoning

district in which such land is situated, except as otherwise permitted

in this Ordinance.

B. Substandard Lots R-3 and R-4 Residential Districts Only

1. A parcel of land which contains no residential structure and which

was a lot of record on the plat records of the County Recorder at

the time of the adoption of the Ordinance and which fails to meet the

size and area requirements of this Ordinance for residential structures,

may nevertheless be used as a site for a residence. Such parcel, either

alone or when combined or when combined with all or part of an

adjoining parcel, shall contain at least 4800 square feet of area;

it shall have a minimum frontage of 60 feet on a public street;

and it shall comply with the front, rear and side yard setbacks

otherwise required in that district.

2. When any parcel of land containing a residence complies with the

area, setback and frontage requirements of this Ordinance and by

virtue of the fact that there are other vacant parcels of land adjacent

or adjoining it and standing in common ownership, then such parcel

of land and such adjoining or adjacent parcels, or as much land as

may be required to meet the current area, setback and frontage

provisions of this Ordinance shall be considered to be a single

residential lot. No property owner shall sell or convey a parcel

of land which is substandard in size and contains a residential

structure without also selling or conveying such vacant, adjoining or

adjacent parcels of land standing in common ownership, nor shall

he sell or convey any part of his property if, by so doing, he reduces

the total area, the frontage or the setback lines below those required

by the provisions of this Ordinance.

3. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 303 (B) (1), any parcel

of land existing on March 7, 1967 may be used for a residence if the

owner owns no adjacent land and if the owner has owned no adjacent

land for the past 25 years. Such lot shall maintain the required front,

rear and side yard setbacks to the extent possible, but in no event shall

a residence be nearer than two feet to any side or rear property line

or nearer than 15 feet to a right-of-way line.

C. Street Frontage - No principal building shall be erected on a lot which

does not abut on at least one street.
