The length of a line beginning at the midpoint of the <br /> northern lot line and extending in a southerly direction perpendicular to the northern <br /> lot line until it intersects another lot line. For irregularly shaped lots, the midpoints of <br /> the 2 southernmost lot lines shall be connected to form a line for the purpose of <br /> determining north - south dimension. (See Figure 9.2790(2)Solar Lot Requirements <br /> and Figure 9.2795 Solar Setback Standards.) <br /> Northern Lot Line. The lot line that creates the smallest angle with a line drawn <br /> east -west and intersecting the northmost point of the lot. If the north line abuts an <br /> undevelopable area on another lot other than a required yard area, the northern lot line <br /> shall be at the north edge of such undevelopable area. If 2 lot lines have an identical <br /> angle relative to a line drawn east -west, then the northern lot line shall be a line 10 <br /> feet in length within the lot parallel with and at a maximum distance from the front lot <br /> line. (See Figure 9.2790(2)Solar Lot Requirements.) <br /> Nursing Home.

Fractional dwellings shall be <br /> rounded to the next highest integer, e.g. 2 beds equals 2 dwellings. <br /> Open Space.
