There are houses on all of the sublots except the large middle one (sub- lot 4) which is being squared off. It was clarified that there was a splinter of land running off sublot 1 because if they attached it to the rear of adjacent properties, it would create split zoned lots.(sublot 1 is residential). Mrs. Watts explained that they were selling sublot 4. Mr. Aforgan is questioning why the non-coforming lots could not be joined since they are owned by the same people. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that the section of the codes that requires non-conforming lots owned by the same person to be joined together specifies that this is required at the time the lots are developed and sublot 4 is vacant.
