If you had a one-acre lot in this portion that existed prior to 1990, it would still 42 <br />be recognized as a legal conforming lot but you can’t take a two-acre lot in this area and subdivide it because the 43 <br />minimum lot size and the density wouldn’t allow for it. 44 45 <br />Attachment 2 – Excerpt of Draft <br />April 2, 2014 Planning Board <br />Minutes <br />149
