<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I’m hoping to gather your expertise on a zoning matter: If two lots are under common ownership but separated by a street, are they considered merged for zoning purposes? If so, how should
the lots be treated when evaluating new construction, particularly if one of the lots is non-conforming and not independently buildable? (The person inquiring is interested in building on the non-conforming lot).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
