§ 6.5. Substandard lot.

In any residential district, a one-family detached dwelling and its accessory structures may be erected on any legal lot or parcel of record which was recorded in the office of the county recorder of deeds before the effective date or amendment of this ordinance.

Such lot or parcel must have been in separate ownership from abutting lands on the date of adoption or amendment of this ordinance. If abutting lands and the substandard lot are owned on that date by the same owner, the substandard lot shall not be sold or used without full compliance with the provisions of this ordinance. If in separate ownership, all the district requirements shall be complied with insofar as practical. The board of zoning appeals shall interpret the requirements to be followed in such cases upon request of the zoning inspector.
