Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 12, 2007 Page 14 of 30 plication, and asked that it become a part of the record for tonight's Ineeting. Copies were processed by staff, provided as a bench handout. Mr. LeTendre provided his calculations on the dimensions noting that to- night's application is a modification of the one considered at the Council meeting on October 9, 2006, that had contained a driveway easement to benefit the existing home but inadvertently burdened the newly-proposed lot. Mr. LeTendre noted lot line issues addressed in the staff report dated Febnl- ary 12,2007; and provided his interpretation of City Code 1003.06F re- quirements for side lot lines that "shall be substantially at right angles or ra- dial to the street line." Mr. LeTendre addressed what "substantially" Ineant as it related to the application before the City Council and the westerly lot line at right angles to W oodlyn Avenue, with the easterly lot line not entirely at right angles to W ood1yn Avenue. Mr. Stark noted as an aside to future applicants that the verbal scale and geographical scale may not provide similar or accurate information and pro- ceeded to provide interpretation and accurate to-scale data for Council re- view and consideration. Discussion included revisions from this application from the previous appli- cation based on the movement of the driveway location; desire of the appli- cant to meet City Code requirements; staff s desire for additional review time during the meeting to correctly scale the proposed lot lines; and City Attorney Anderson's rationale for interpretation of ordinance or statute lan- guage intent, based on the entire document, definitions for rules of statutory construction on the defined meaning of undefined words, and interpretations of the word, "substantially" and "radial" by the applicant and the City. Mr. LeTendre opined that the City had set precedent with a previous and similar approval at 2161 W County Road B (Forman property). At this point Mr. Stark returned with his to-scale renderings of the angles for the property for Council review and consideration.
