§ 10.01.02. Nonconforming lots.

1.

In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any single lot of record, that was divided in compliance with the ordinance in effect at the time of its division, in a recorded subdivision or a lot in an unrecorded plat that was surveyed and described by a metes and bounds description prior to the effective date of this ordinance, not withstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this ordinance. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for an area or width, or both, that are generally applicable in the district. Variance of setback requirements shall be obtained only through action of the board of adjustment.

2.

Reference other chapters of this ordinance for requirements for subdivisions and exceptions.

3.

No such nonconforming lot may be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its nonconformity, but any lot or portion thereof may be altered to decrease its nonconformity.
