Since the property in question has one PIN and the legal description <br />included all the property, it is one parcel. Division of any parcel must comply with City <br />requirements, including lot size. <br />Mr. Joyer and the Thorps are questioning when and how the two lots became combined <br />• under one PIN. It is their contention that the two lots were purchased seperately and <br />
