In any district where dwellings are permitted, a one-family detached dwelling or accessory building if the lot is already occupied by a one-family residence, may be erected on any lot of official record on the effective date of this Ordinance, even though such lot does not comply with the lot area and width requirements of the district in which it is located, provided said lot has minimum area of 3,000 square feet and at least thirty five (35) feet of lot width with frontage on a public street; and further provided the following conditions are complied with:
(a) If the owner of such lot does not own adjacent property and did not own adjacent property at the time this Ordinance became effective:
(1) In any district where dwellings are permitted, two (2) inches may be deducted from the required minimum width of each side yard and four (4) inches from the required minimum width of both side yards for each foot that the lot is narrower than the required width for the district. In no case, however, shall any side yard be narrower than three (3) feet.
(2) For lots having a depth of less than 110 feet, the depth of the rear yard need not exceed 25 percent of the total depth of the lot, but shall not be less than twenty (20) feet.
(b) If the owner of such lot owns adjacent property, or owned such property at the time this Ordinance became effective, the modification of lot area and yard dimensions as set forth above shall not apply, except as follows:
In order to erect a dwelling or dwellings thereon, the owner of two (2) or more adjacent lots fronting on the same street shall redivide the lots in such a manner that they conform with the lot area and yard requirements for a single-family dwelling in that district where the lots are located. However, if the average width of the lots resulting from such redivision would exceed the required lot width for a single family dwelling by more than fifteen (15) feet, such redivision, if any, may be made so as to provide one (1) more building lot than would otherwise be permitted. In such case, the provisions of subsection (a) hereof relating to the reduction of side and rear yards shall apply.
