Nan-exem t tree or ve station. Vegetation that is not exempt from the solar access regulations. North-south dimension. The length of aline beginning at the midpoint of the northern lot line and extending in a southerly direction perpendicular to the northern lot line until it reaches a property boundary See Figure 3}. Northern 1 of line. The 1 of line that i s the smallest angl e from aline drawn true east-west and intersecting the northernmost point of the lot, excluding the pole portion of a fl ag lot. I f the earth line adjoins an undevelopable area other than a required yard area, the northern lot line shall be at the north edge of such un- devel opabl a area. I f two 1 of lines have an identical angle rel a- ti ve to a 1 i ne drawn true east-west, then the northern 1 of 1 i ne shall be aline ten feet in length within the lot parallel with and at a maximum distance from the front lot line see Figure Z}. Shade point, The part of a bui l di ng or non-exempt tree that casts the longest shadow onto the adjacent northern lots} when the sun is at an altitude of ZZ.6 degrees and an azimuth ranging from 30 degrees east and west of true south; except a shadow caused by a narrow object such as a mast or whip antenna, a dish antenna with a diameter of three feet or less, a chimney, utility pole or wire. The height of the shade point shall be measured from the shade point to either the average elevation at the f rant 1 of 1 i ne or the elevation at the midpoint of the front lot line. If the shade paint is located at the north end of the ridgeline of a building oriented within 45 degrees of the true north-south 1 i ne, the shade point computed according to the previous sentence may be reduced by three feet. If a structure has a roof oriented within 45 degrees of the true east-west line with a pitch that is flatter than five feet vertical} in 1Z feet ~horizanta1}, the shade point will be the save of the roof. If such a roof has a pitch that is five feet i n IZ feet or steeper, the shade point will be the peak of the roof see Figures 4 and 5} . Shadow pattern. A graphic representation of an area that would be shaded by ZZ.6 degrees and an azimuth ranging between 30 degrees east and west of true south see Figure 1Z}, Solar access hei ht limit. A serf es of contour i i nes estab- 1 i shi ng the maximum permitted height for non-exempt vegetation on 1 ots affected by a sal ar access guarantee. Solar ac,ce.ss permit. A document issued by the city that des- cribes the- maximum height that non-exempt vegetation is allowed to grow on lots to which a solar access permit applies. Solar bat once ai nt, The solar balance point i s one-hat f ~ of the minimum reduction of the solar setback that would be necessary to leave the applicant's solar feature unshaded by an existing or potential shade point 1 orated an a l of to the south ~ see Figure 8} .
