She indicated <br /> I she would feel better by staying with the policy. <br /> Mayor Probst indicated he originally was the one to raise the issue of the comer lots, and in <br /> , reviewing, Staff has realized the comer lot formula was used on two comer lots, but not on the two <br /> outlot comers. He indicated he would be comfortable with looking at the reduction for lack of a <br /> better example. <br /> I Councilmember Hicks inquired if the formula were used in the original calculations, would this <br /> mean a different per foot rate.
