[Massplanners] Putting House on "Not a Building Lot" Parcel

A few years ago the owner of a property came in to do an ANR on a property in Shirley.  They divided out a large parcel into 2 parcels with one having adequate frontage and square footage and the other (though it has over 5 acres of land) only with 89' of frontage (not adequate for that zone) so they appropriately marked it "not a buildable lot" for the sake of the ANR.  The owner of that property now wants to put a house on the "not a buildable lot" property using the Town's hammerhead lot portion of the zoning by-law which only requires 50" frontage.  Is this appropriate even though it is marked "not a buildable lot"?  Is that "not a buildable lot" title a forever thing or can be built on under the right situations?
