Use your "Make Parallel/Perpendicular" tool to align the second line and then use your temporary dimensions to position it or an actual dimension can be set to Perpendicular with the same tool.

 

Lots of options with Chief...   You can also edit a cad line to any angle you want.

Yup.  Lots and lots of ways.  A few more...

 

1.  Use Copy/Paste Hold Position and concentric edit mode to move the copy (use the Concentric Jump distance).

2.  Use Multiple Copy to drag out a new copy (use the Primary Offset distance).

3.  Draw a line that simply snaps to the end point of your desired lot line and then move orthogonally (use the Tab key and then enter the desired distance).

 

Many many more methods but those are just a few ideas to get the ball rolling.
