 Say your town requires 20K sq ft lots and 100 feet of frontage.  There is currently a home on a 70K lot.  To make it easy, lets picture a rectangular lotand the house is all the way on the left side of the lot and currently meets all zoningregulations, all the land to the right side is wooded and buildable.
The owner brings forth an ANR splitting the one lot into 4.  The 3 new lots (to the right) meet current zoning,20k lot size and 100 feet of frontage. The original lot with the house is now only 10k. but meets the 100 ft frontage requirement. The engineer juststamps "unbuildable lot" on the lot with the original house.  This lot already has a house so they don’t care.  Is this allowed?
What if it was reduced to 10K and the frontage also fell under the required 100 ft, would this be allowed if stamped "unbuildable"?
Thanks for your input.
