ins on a corner parcel of property zoned R -1 and com-
posed of two loins of record cUcl,_iavo a 25 foot frontal -e,
was ^:ranted.
The basis of this resolution was the fact that Zoning
Ordinance 306, then in effect, provided that a dwellia ^-
could be constructed on a substandard lot of record at 1;he
time that Ordinance 306 becarne law. Therefore, `ego ,,d
sirable direl i inns could have c;ee' placed on the Q ;'c(, -,

the two 25 foot lots. The property was developed and
i,reated as a sin -;le 50 foot lot, as were '-he adjoinin,, pairs
