Where the owner of a lot of official record in any district at the time of the adoption of this chapter or his successor in title thereto does not have sufficient contiguous land to enable him to conform to the minimum lot size requirements of this chapter, the lot may be used as a building site, provided that:
(A) Any contiguous lots under the same ownership, which individually have less area than the minimum requirements of the district in which the lots are located shall be considered as a single lot or several lots which meet the minimum requirements of this chapter for the district in which the lots are located.
(B) In no case may any lot be developed without sufficient depth or width to construct, at a minimum, a structure of at least 20 feet in both directions.
(C) In no case shall the non-conformities of any existing lots be otherwise increased nor any new lots not meeting the requirements of this chapter be created.
(D) The least intensive use, building or housing type shall permitted.
(E) When the aforementioned criteria cannot be met a variance may be obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
