The City Council reviewed the application at their July 11, 2005 meeting and recommend approval of a remodel/addition or a rebuild based on the following findings: a. The lot line re-arrangement proposed will allow the applicants to meet all other requirements of the Zoning Ordinance without negatively impacting the adjacent neighbor at 1090 Wildhurst Trail. b. The lot has a restrictive buildable area due to the sewer line running diagonally through the lot and also due to the pinch of the side lot lines to a point of approximately 30' forcing any home to be located in the back 1/3 of the lot.
