§ 5.9. Application to lots of record

Where the owner of a lot of record does not own and cannot reasonably acquire sufficient abutting land to enable him to conform to the open space and other requirements herein prescribed, such lot may be used by such owner as a building site provided the open space and other provisions conform as closely as possible in the opinion of the board of appeals to the requirements for the district in which it is located and subject to section 13.2, Powers of Board of Appeals.

Where two or more abutting lots of record are held in one ownership, either in fee simple and/or under a vendee's land contract interest, or subsequently come to be held in one ownership, they shall be considered the same as a single lot of record for the purpose of this appendix, and the provisions of this appendix shall not thereafter be circumvented or avoided by the willful sale or conveyance of a part or portion of any parcel or parcels.
