Lot Width Measurement. <br />Before the Shoreland Ordinance was in effect, lot width for a lakeshore lot was <br />measured (as a matter of policy) at the 75’ setback and the street setback lines Stnce <br />the definition of lot width relied on having a front yard, and lakeshore lots by deiinition <br />did not have a front yard, this resulted in the need for staff to develop a policy, which <br />we did. <br />During the Shoreland Ordinance review, the Lake Use Committee agreed with <br />staff that lakeshore lot widths should be measured at the shored and at the requ^d <br />lal;eshore setback line (7571007150’ depending on GD/RD/NE classificauon), while <br />non-lakeshore lots would continue to have lot width measured at the street setback Ime. <br />Perhaps one of the first cases in which the new definition r^e into effect w^ <br />the Boykc subdivision on Lydiard Lake. Because the easterly lot with the <br />abut the shoreline, its width was measured at the str«t setback lute <br />oullot Idle width of the newly created lakeshore .01 to the west was . . <br />straight line from the side lot lines at the shoreline and at the <br />this lot had a lengthy narrow "flagpole" section, that met the width standards as does the <br />McCarthy proposal. <br />Background <br />Note that for non-lakeshore siriations and for lakeshore <br />Shoreland Ordinance, the City has historically <br />a back lot. These include an eas ement through the front lot, a t gp <br />lOj; or creation of an outlot over the nanow flagpole portion.
