(a) Any lot or parcel shown on a recorded subdivision, plat or assessor's plat, or conveyance recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds for Dane County prior to the adoption of this ordinance, may be used as a building site, or for any use permitted in the zoning district in which the lot is located even though such lot or parcel does not conform to the minimum frontage or area requirements of the district in which it is located; provided, however, that no multiple family dwelling or residential unit in combination with some other use shall be erected, altered or converted in use on lots having a width of less than 50 feet. (b) When two (2) or more lots or parcels of land each of which lacks adequate area or dimensions prescribed for the zoning districts in which they are located, are contiguous and held in one ownership, they may be used as one lot if they meet the area and dimensional requirements of the district; provided, however, these provisions shall not apply where a principal building or use is established on each of the undersized lots. With such addition, such lots or parcels do not reach the minimum area or frontage required in such district; provided, however, that subsequent to such addition, the side yard, open space and percentage of occupancy provision for lots of the resulting size shall apply; and provided further, that after buildings have been erected on such Tots or parcels their area or width shall not thereafter be reduced, except in conformity to the provisions of this ordinance.

(e) No existing building, erected prior to the adoption of this ordinance, which projects into the setback area shall be moved, structurally altered or added to so as to increase that part of the building projecting into the setback area.
