_2_ enclosed revised survey which shows that the eastern parcel has been widened in the area aligning the existing house. Scaled measure- ments indicate that the width of the revised eastern parcel, in the area aligning the existing house, is 75-85 feet, so there should be ample room to construct a house in this area. In their action of November 23, the Council also directed that the variance resolution be amended by deleting 2.a. in the first BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED. The .revised variance resolution shows this deletion. We would note that No. 2 of the first BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED has been further amended by deleting 2.b. and inserting that the unique circumstance is the unusual shape and size of the parcel. This change has been made because it appears questionable to us whether there is a uniqueness in a property that can only be subdivided by means of a variance. A variance would be needed to subdivide all substandard lots in the City. If this change is not in keeping with the Council's intent, the resolution will be revised. The revised variance resolution also indicates that a further condition has been added to the second BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED con- cerning the alignment of the house to be constructed on the eastern parcel. This condition defines a 100 foot depth area within which the house would be required to be located. This condition was added based on our understanding of the Council's concern for the general alignment of houses. If it is not the Council's intent to regulate the alignment of houses in this manner, this condition cou]_d be deleted.
