40 foot setback lines). A lot approved in the first addition, 3322 Katie Lane, is very similar in shape and size to Lot 3 Block 1. The Zoning Code defines the front property line as: "The boundary of a lot abutting a street. On a comer lot, the shortest street lot line shall be the front lot line." In the case of Lot 3 Block I, the property line adjacent to the street is curved and continuous without a clear change from a front to a side property line. Ifthe entire length ofthe property line adjacent to the street is designated as the front property line, the length would be 165.88 feet (from the 30 foot setback line), which is well above the minimum 95 foot width. The western side property line is 139 feet, which exceeds the minimum 120 foot length. The lot width near the middle of the property is approximately 97 feet wide, as measured along a straight line from northwest to southeast. While it is somewhat difficult to directly apply the subdivision regulations to Lot 3 Block I, the lots appears to meet the spirit and intent of the Subdivision Code and is not out or character with other lots in throughout the Hazelnut Park subdivision. Depending on the orientation of the structure, the rear property line and setback could be assigned to the shared property line with either Lot 2 or 4. The rear property line will be determined during the building permit review process. Nevertheless, a dwelling of substantial size that respects all setback requirements could still be constructed. The front setback requirement will apply to the entire length ofthe property line that is adjacent to the street. B.
