Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 19, 2017 Page 13 Mr. Brokke agreed with the timing, advising that the initial discussion was related to the cash versus land portion when this came up, with 10% seeming more con- sistent if both were addressed.

Discussion ensued with staff providing numerous examples of materially different dimensions and those preferred to be regulated out versus conventional scenarios with street curvatures for radial properties.

Specific to pie-shaped lots, Councilmember Willmus suggested that minimum lot widths at the rear setback line may not preclude pie-shaped lots, but assured rea- sonable width with situating a home on the lot. Mayor Roe sought feedback on Councilmember McGehee's suggestion of allot- ting half of the front yard width; with Councilmember Etten opinion that half of the front could be too much and instead suggested half the minimum width, with
