407 ~4r. Swift said thaE that was right and that Mr. Schneider then filed an appeal, which started the whole process. Mr. ~ercer inquired if it was staff's contention that the area ~qith the 13 feet, 5 inches setback is the side yard ra~her than the ~ac~ yard. Mr. Swift replied that the Zoning Administrator has the ability to prescribe setbacks on irregular lots and that it is staff's contention that Lot 20 is an irregular lot. He added that when the Planning Commission reviewed the site plan, it did not make a determination as to which was the side or rear yard. The Commission, however, indicated that Lot 20 was an irregular lot and that the plan complied with the condition for the 20-foot rear yard setback. He explained that this is a PUD decision rather than a determination as to which the side yard is and what the setback should be, but that if a determination would be necessary to make the house legal, the corner Mr. Schneider referred to would be considered the side yard. Mr. Mercer asked Mr. Schneider if he had any concerns about the neighbors looking into his back yard. Mr. Schneider stated that he was concerned about the power of the Planning Department to override a Council-approved PUD. Mr. Brandes clarified that it was the Planning Commission and not the Planning Department that made the finding about Lot 20. Ms. Mohr inquired if the Council approved the final map. Mr. Swift said yes and added that the PUD condition empowered the Planning Commission to determine where the houses would be si~ed on the lots. Consequently, the Council did not see the house siting plans. Mr. Mercer inquired if it was the interpretation of the ~lanning Commission and staff that the 20-foot setback was for the Back yard rather than for the side yard. Mr. Swift replied that the 20-foot rear ,yard setback was a condition of the PUD. The Code defines the front yard setback as the 23 feet of the frontage of the lot that is adjacent to the street and the rear yard setback as the 20 feet along the rear property line. The definition of Lot 20's rear property line is not clear because the lot has five sides. That is the reason why the Code allows the Zoning Administrator to determine the rear and side yards for irregular lots.
