§ 157.033 NONCONFORMING LOTS OF RECORD.
   (A)   In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, notwithstanding limitation imposed by other provisions of this chapter, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any single lot of record at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter. Such lot must be in separate ownership and not of continuous frontage with other lots in the same ownership. This provision shall apply even though such lots fail to meet the requirements for area or width, or both, that are generally applicable in the district, providing that yard dimensions and other requirements not involving area or width, or both, shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located. Variance of area, width, and yard requirements shall be obtained only through action by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
   (B)   If two or more lots or a combination of lots and portions of lots with continuous frontage in single ownership are of record at the time of passage or amendment of this chapter, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements for lot width and area as established by this chapter, the land involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purpose of this chapter and no portion of the parcel shall be used or sold which does not meet lot width and area requirements established by this chapter, nor shall any division of the parcel be made which leaves remaining any lot with width or area below the requirements stated in this chapter.
