Prior to purchasing the lot, Mr. Rhode discussed the "buildability" of the same with Hank Muhich, Zoning Administrator. 20. Mr. Rhode was told that lot had in the past been determined to be "buildable" by prior council action. 21.

The substandard width and area are peculiar to the lot and do not apply generally to other land in the area. b. The lot cannot be combined with undeveloped land.

(2) Mr. Rhode's predecessor in title never had an equitable interest in the lot at the same time he had an equitable interest in any adjacent lot. (3) It was never possible for Mr. Fred Rogers to have combined what is now Jack Rhode's lot with what is now Jason C. Becker's lot. By the time Rogers acquired an interest in Rhode's lot, he had given up his interest in Becker's lot. 22.
