(A) Every dwelling or principal building shall be located upon a lot having the minimum required lot width, or a lot of record, or an individual condominium “unit of ownership”, with the required frontage upon a public street, approved private road or approved shared driveway. Lot width shall be measured as defined in the definition of lot width in § 154.003. The Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to § 154.174, may permit modification of this requirement in cases where unusual topographic or geographic conditions exist.
(B) In the A/R, Agricultural/Residential Districts and the R-1C, Single-Family Residential Districts the Zoning Administrator, with the concurrence of the Chairperson of the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), may approve up to a 10% reduction in the minimum required lot width where the reduction would facilitate reasonable and equitable division of land (creation of a parcel(s)). This may be needed, for example, in a fractional section where the county (mile) road has less than a full mile length (5,280 feet). A record of the approval of lot width reduction, including the width in feet, shall be signed by both the Zoning Administrator and Chairperson of the ZBA. This record shall be filed with the township’s property records for the subject property(ies).
(C) Corner lots shall maintain not less than the minimum required front yard on all road frontages.
