<div dir="ltr">Hey there - <br><br>Here's the TL;DR:
Does the "buildable" status of an <u>unimproved</u> pre-existing non-conforming lot (which predates 1975, and predates zoning area regulations) survive a lot line adjustment that doesn't increase its size?<br><br>The details:<br><div><img src="cid:ii_kql958pn2" alt="image.png" width="439" height="405"><br><ul><li>All lots are pre-existing, but seriously non-conforming.</li><li>Lot B1 has an existing structure.</li><li>Lot A has no structure, but is determined to be a 'buildable' lot by the Zoning Officer.</li><li>Lot A is a buildable lot, and has a single-family dwelling on it.</li><li>Lots B2-B5 were in separate ownership, but are now owned in common with Lot B1 (lot B is now being treated as a single lot for zoning purposes).</li><li>Even if all lots (A and Bs) were combined together, the total area would not meet minimum zoning requirements.</li></ul>The desire is to adjust the internal zig-zag lot line between Lot A and Lots B, as indicated by the blue line, squaring off the two separate lots.<br><br>The lot line change would not make either lot "conforming" to minimum area requirements. Again, neither lot is conforming now. <br><br>To my mind, no new non-conformities would be created, so this isn't a case of creating a zoning violation through ANR.<br><br>Does this jibe with your reasoning?<br><br>- Doug.<br><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Douglas Finn, Administrative Assistant<br>Edgartown Planning Board<div>70 Main Street, PO Box 5130<br>Edgartown, MA 02539</div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">508-627-6170<br></span><a href="mailto:dfinn@edgartown-ma.us" target="_blank">dfinn@edgartown-ma.us</a><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
