Any lot of record 40 feet or wider existing at the effective date of this chapter in any R District may be used for the erection of a single-family dwelling even though its area and width are less than the minimum requirement set fourth herein. Each side yard shall be a minimum of 5 feet. Where 2 adjacent lots of record with less than the required area and width are held by 1 owner, the Board may require that the lot be combined and used for 1 main building. In either case, the prevailing setback shall be met. Where 3 or more contiguous unimproved lots of record with less than the required area and width were in existence and held under 1 ownership at the effective date of this chapter the Board shall require replatting to fewer lots to permit compliance with minimum yard requirements.
