A.
Lot regulations.
(1)
Lot frontage. The minimum lot frontage of any lot shall be measured along the minimum building setback line as required for the district in which it is located.
(2)
Required area or space cannot be reduced. The area or dimension of any lot, yard, parking area or other space shall not be reduced to less than the minimum required by this chapter; and, if already less than the minimum required by this chapter, said area or dimension may be continued and shall not be further reduced.
(3)
Minimum lot sizes where there is no public water or sewer. Unless the regulations of the district in which they are located require greater lot areas or widths, the following regulations shall apply:
(a)
Not served by public water or sewer. Lots not served by a public water or sanitary sewer system or other systems approved by the Division of Sanitation, New York State Department of Health, shall not be less than 100 feet frontage at the building line and not less than one acre in area.
[Amended 10-3-1994 by L.L. No. 2-1994]

(c)
Minimum lot size for two or more family dwellings. Lots to be developed with private water supply and sewage disposal systems or private sewage disposal systems for two or more family dwelling structures may require larger lot sizes and widths than are specified above and because of unusual subsoil or geological conditions found to exist on the particular location in question. In such cases, the minimum lot area otherwise required shall be increased where necessary to the extent required to allow the proposed water and/or sewage installation to operate effectively in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Detailed plans for such water and/or sewage systems shall be submitted to the Code Enforcement Officer and approved by him/her before a building permit shall be issued.
