Zoning-New Construction-Narrow Lot Width

[Kevin Polite]

We found a lot which is an infill in an intown area. The agent stated it could be split, however when I went to County the person in the planning dept. said the county has a new 75' wide minimum width. This seems rather large especially since the county is now trying to be urban designs. this property is 80' so it he said it couldn't possibly be split. All the other lots are 40' wide narrow.

My question is this worth pursuing to try to split. I'm pretty sure we can get the price down to where is would be profitable for one home, but we have a really modern design available that would fit perfectly on a 40' wide lot.

Would our best bet be to get a real estate attorney in that county that specializes in zoning?

Any suggestions
