    The dimensions show that the existing garage that is to remain on lot 3 is not meeting the rear setback requirements. Even if this structure is under 500 sq. ft. and under 14’ high, the closest it can be to the rear property line is 9’. See allowable encroachments here:https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/boise_id/latest/boise/0-0-0-67254TABLE 11-04.4: PERMITTED ENCROACHMENTS INTO REQUIRED SETBACKSSo that shared property line will have to be moved back to meet that setback. Unfortunately, we cannot count the flag towards the total square footage of the lot per code:https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/boise_id/latest/boise/0-0-0-7025011-06-02: RULES OF MEASUREMENT H. Lot Area: The square footage within the boundary of a lot or parcel. Lot area shall be determined exclusive of land that is used for public or private streets, highways, alleys, roads, and rights-of-way. The flagpole or stem portion of a flag lot shall not be considered as part of the lot area.So, these lots will have to be reconfigured in order to meet the minimum lot requirements per zone:https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/boise_id/latest/boise/0-0-0-65331
