Any lot ar ea width less than the minimum described above shall not be calculated in the required area dimension or used for any other purpose. (3) Frontage can be reduced by 50% when it provides the only access to one dwelling unit on a lot which is equal to at least twice the minimum lot area requirement, provided that: (a) Not more than two lots with such reduced frontage can be placed side by side.

No lot on which a building is located in any district shall be reduced or changed in size or shape so that the building or lot fails to comply with lot area, width, setback or yard provisions of this bylaw, or, if such building or lot already fails to comply with said provisions, such reduction or change would bring about a greater degree of noncompli ance with said provisions. This prohibition shall not apply, however, when a portion of a lot is taken or conveyed for a public purpose. In the above Article, as the Retail Commercial District no longer existed, it was deleted from the lot area, width, sh ape and frontage portion of 250-5.1. Limited Business/Residential was added along with a required lot area of 40,000 sq. ft., required lot width of 100 feet, and required lot width and frontage of 100 feet through the building. P.
