ottawa county sewer district wastewater rules and regulations for ...

4. .4 lot is non-buildable if there is a lack of frontage to build on compared to the
zoning regulations for the same subdivision. The following is an example of
this rule:
a. Case - A particular subdivision has a typical lot width of 50 feet. There is a
50 foot lot located between two (2) of the 50 foot lot owners which was split
in half. Both owners, who are adjacent to the split lot, own 25 feet of the
lot which was split.
ASSESSMENT METHOD: The lot having 25 foot frontage does not have
sufficient frontage to build on in accordance with the zoning regulations
for that subdivision. One of the adjacent owners has a house on his 50 foot
lot. We combine the non-buildable 25 feet with the 50 foot lot. The frontage
will be 75 feet with a property status equal to 1. The other 50 foot lot owner
has an empty building lot. We combine the non-buildable 25 foot lot with the
50 foot lot. The resulting frontage shall be 75 feet with a property status
equal to 2.
b. Case - A particular subdivision has a typical lot width of 60 feet. However.
due to a property split or other cause, an individual parcel having a lot
width less than 60 feet exists which, due to subdivision or Department of
Health regulations, cannot be built upon. Further, the lots on either side
of the individual parcel are owned by separate owners.
ASSESSMENT METHOD: If the property can be developed once a public sewer
is available, the parcel shall be assigned a property status equal to 2 and
assessed. If the property still cannot be developed even though a public -
sewer is available due to subdivision restrictions, the parcel shall be
assigned a property status equal to 4 and not be assessed.
