Currently these lots are in separate ownership. The owner of 420 wants to purchase 430, keep them as separate lots and construct cabins on each. Am I reading the below code correctly in that even though they are separate"record lots"today when they are owned by the same person they must be combined into a new, larger"record lot"to get closer to the 5.0 acre requirement? Sec.78-568. Lot area requirements. 2
