Substandard lot provisions

A. Standards: A substandard lot or parcel of land for which a deed has been recorded in the office of the Anoka County Recorder on or prior to the effective date of this Chapter shall be allowed as a building site provided it: 1\. Has frontage on a public right-of-way. 2\. Such use is permitted in the zoning district. 3\. The lot was in separate ownership from abutting lands upon or prior to the effective date of this Chapter. 4\. Its area and dimensional measurements are within Fifty (50%) percent of the requirements of this Chapter. 5\. All sanitary requirements are complied with as far as practicable. 6\. The resulting structure will not pose a hazard to the public health, safety, welfare of adjoining property owners. B. Contiguous Lots: If, in a group of contiguous parcels of land, under a single ownership, any individual parcel does not meet the lot size minimum area and dimensional requirements of this Chapter, such individual parcel cannot be considered as a separate parcel of land for the purposes of sale or development, but must be combined with adjacent parcels under the same ownership, so that the combination of parcels will equal one or more parcel of land, each meeting the requirements of the applicable zoning district.
