The Beckers object to the courrcil's interpretation of the <br />setback ordinance as not forbidding the approved house location <br />when the Beckers, and riot the Lauers object: to that locatlon. <br />That ordinance (Section 34.201)provides: <br />"The setback frorn the shoveline fnr lrrkeshore lots <br />shall be at; least seventy-flve feet and no building <br />may be locat-,d closer to the s hor-ol.inc t.li rn tIW <br />average distance from the shoreline ref' rxisting resi- <br />dence builuings on adjacet►t and nearby lots." <br />Since this setback limitation applies only to "lakeshore <br />lots", the council could propet•ly construe it as being intend- <br />ed to protect the sight line of existing residences to the lake. <br />The council's interpretation of it; own ot'dinance should <br />be given great weight under well-recugnized principles of admini- <br />strative law. <br />So interpreted the ordinance can be def,med not to pro- <br />hibit the approved Rhode house location inasmuch as the Lauers <br />ai,e the only Ilearby nf-1E-1rbors adver•scly :.ffect► u by the location <br />and they want the! house to be �rtjead of Line A -A .
