(A) Prior to a two-family dwelling or quadraminium subdivision, the base lot must meet all the requirements of the zoning district.
(B) The following are minimum lot requirements for two-family dwelling and quadraminium subdivisions. (Note: Multiple dwelling are not permitted without public sewer and water.)
