Creative Zoning Idea

Hello everyone!

Looking for a zoning expert’s idea for this.

I’m looking to purchase this lot of land. The land is currently unbuildable. The reason is that the lot is too small for a septic system. There’s also not much room to work with.

The lot is nestled between two homes. The homes end right on their property line so there’s not much room to expand.

I believe that the design of the property wouldn’t be a problem, however I would like some ideas on how to make this lot buildable in the eyes of the zoning department.

I’m a total amateur when it comes to zoning codes and rules so I’m open to any insight I can get!

Thank you!

Unfortunately, if it needs septic and there isn't enough room for a leach field, you won't be able to build a home on it. There's no zoning variance that will change that.  No one's mind will be changed, ever. It's best to leave it and move on.
