ments of this Chapter in harmony with their purpose and intent so
that the spirit of the Chapter shall be observed, public peace,
health, safety and welfars secured and substantial Justice done,

~EOTION 9243. Area (Contd.)
gore shaped lots with more than four lot lines, such regulations
or provisions may be modified or interpreted by the Zoning
Administrator in writing as to an individual lot or to all lots
of similar type involving a common problem and the building shall
be governed by such interpretation. No fence or accessory
building, the location of which is determined in whole or in part
by yards, shall be erected or established upon any lot which is
so irregularly or oddly shaped as to cause cohfusion relative to
interpretation of such regulations until the yard provisions
of this Chapter shall have been determined as set forth above.
