A symmetrical convex grid polygon is a polygon such that:

For example, the left polygon is a convex grid polygon which has neither horizontal nor vertical symmetry, while the right one is a valid symmetrical convex grid polygon with six vertices:

Define $A(N)$, the minimum area of a symmetrical convex grid polygon with $N$ vertices.

You are given $A(4) = 1$, $A(8) = 7$, $A(40) = 1039$ and $A(100) = 17473$.

Find $A(1000)$.
