Hardcover zone balancing <br />List of Exhibit! <br />A <br />B <br />Sketches Regarding Lot Width Issue <br />Sketches Regarding Hardcover Issue <br />1. Lot Width Measurement. <br />Before [he 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. Since <br />the definition of lot width relied on having a front yard, and lakeshore lots by detimtion <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 shoreline and at the lequued <br />lakeshore 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 line. <br />Perhaps one of the first cases in which the new definition came into effect was <br />Uie Boyke subdivision on Lydiard Lake. Because the easterly lot with the house did not <br />abut the shoreline, its width was measured at the street setback Ime from the driveway <br />outlot The width of the newly created lakeshore lot to the west was measured as a <br />straight line from the side lot lines at the shoreline and at the 150 setback^Even though <br />ihis fot had a lengthy narrow -fiagpole- section, that met the width standards as does the <br />McCarthy proposal. <br />BackgfQUM <br />Note that for non-lakeshore situations and for lakeshore situations prior to the <br />Shoreland Ordinance, the City has histoncally seen three option for gaimng a^ess to <br />a'-ack lot. These include an easement through the from lot; a flagpole to create a Oag <br />UJ or creation of an outlot over the narrow tlaepole ponion
