(A) When authorized as a special exception, a building may be erected or altered on any lot held in single and separate ownership on the effective date of this chapter which is not of the required minimum area or width or is of such unusual dimensions that the owner would have difficulty in providing the required open spaces for the district in which the lot is situated.
(B) Where two or more contiguous undeveloped lots are held in single ownership, within a subdivision which has been duly recorded prior to the effective date of this chapter, which lots are individually not of the required minimum area or width for the district in which they are situated, no special exception shall be required for the issuance of building permits provided that such lots shall be developed in groups or fractions thereof, as single lots, to provide the minimum lot frontage required for each structure.
