USES OF SUBSTANDARD LOTS OF RECORD.
City Attorney, Alan Jensen presented to the board an ordinance
revising the definition and permitted uses of substandard lots of

changed to the singular.

Director review alternative methods of determining height of
structures and report back to the board.
After further discussion the board returned the ordinance to
counsel for revisions.
