On November 20, 1950, the Town of Orono Board of Supervisors adopted a zoning ordinance which placed this property in a residential zone within the "Forest Lake District". The residential district standards included the following in relation to buildability standards: "4. No building or other structure shall be erected upon any land within the above residential district except where the land upon which the building or other structure is to be erected constitutes a "building lot" �s hereinafter defined. A building lot is hereb�r defined to be land owned under one ownership which has at least a seventy-five (75) feet frontage and contains at least fifteen thousand (15, 000 ) square feet in area, provided, however, that where, at the time that the resolution and ordinance shall take effect, the land has been platted into lots, and a plat filed of record with the office of the Register of Deec�s , or Registrar of Titles of Hennepin County, Minnesota, and where the area of such platted lots is less than seventy-five (75) feet frontage and contains less than fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet in area, each such lot shall constitute one "building lot" and, provided further, that where, at the time this resolution and ordinance shall take effect, the area of any unplatted separate piece of property owned under one ownership is less than seventy-five (75) feet frontage and contains less than 15,000 squarp feet in area, each such separatE piece of property shall constitute one "building lot".
