§ 10-173. Nonconforming lots.

(a)

An individual nonconforming lot otherwise complying with the requirements of the town may be used for a building site and may be developed according to the dimensional requirements of the underlying land use district if:

(1)

The lot does not lie in a residential land use district; or

(2)

The lot lies within a residential land use district and the area, width and depth of the lot each meets or exceeds 70 percent of the minimum dimensional requirements.

(b)

Building height on a lot failing to meet the requirements of subsection (a)(2) will be restricted proportionate to the lot's size relative to the dimensional requirements. For example, if the lot size is 80 percent of the required minimum lot size per subsection (a)(2), then the building height will be restricted to 80 percent of the maximum building height allowed in the land use district. No building height restriction of less than 15 feet shall be imposed, regardless of lot size.

(c)

If a person, partnership, corporation or marital community owns a nonconforming residential lot contiguous to additional property, such lots shall not be developed separately and must be combined through boundary line adjustment or lot aggregation so the lots meet the requirements of subsection (a)(2).
