    All residential or accessory structures hereafter constructed, or renovation of any existing structure, shall not exceed 35 feet in height. The height shall be determined by measuring from the highest point of the structure, excluding chimneys and television or radio signal receiving antennae, down to a point equal to the average of the finished grade on all sides of the structure at the time of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Modifications to the finished grade after the final building inspection and issuance of a certificate of occupancy, which cause the structure height to exceed 35 feet, shall be prohibited.

    (g)

    Whenever a permit is requested for the construction of a single-family residence and the applicable minimum lot size is met by the property owner's ownership of two or more contiguous lots, the lots needed to meet the minimum lot size shall be combined prior to issuance of the building permit. Combination shall be accomplished by the recording of a deed and plat in the public deed records of the county and filing with the county property tax authorities. The combined lot shall not thereafter be subdivided in a manner that reduces the area of the lot on which the residence is located below the applicable minimum lot size.
