Any nonconforming lot of record as of May 22,
1979, which does not meet the minimum lot area and/or minimum lot
width and depth requirements of this chapter for the zoning district
in which such lot is situated shall be considered as complying with
such minimum lot requirements, and no variance shall be required,
provided that:
A.
Such lot does not adjoin other lots in the same ownership;
provided, however, that all such lots in the same ownership shall
be treated together as one lot.
[Amended 2-20-1997]
B.
The interpretation of Subsection A is that the section applies to effect a merger of two undeveloped lots. It would also apply to effect a merger of one developed and one undeveloped lot under the same ownership. It will not apply to two developed lots. See Zoning Board of Appeals minutes of November 14, 1988.
A.
A natural person who, on May 22, 1973 (effective date
of Executive Law, Article 27, Adirondack Park Agency Act), and since
said date has continuously owned land in the Adirondack Park portions
of the Town of Bolton may, by devise, bona fide gift or grant without
consideration, convey a vacant portion of such land to members of
his or her immediate family, and such division of land shall be exempt
from the minimum lot size criteria specified by this Code. In no case
shall any division of land pursuant to this section create a lot less
than one acre in area. The use of such lot shall be for a single-family
dwelling or mobile home, provided that such use is permitted in the
district within which the premises are located.
[Amended 8-2-2005]
B.
This section is intended for long-term use of the
individual receiving the land.
