matter was disCU8sed at this time. Secretary 3hambora read ex~erpt froM Minu.tes of
Aug 6, 1974 meeting on this subject.
Chairman "olfe stated that the Hoard had created a hardship involving old sub-
divisions when it passed the Xoning Ordinance o"i July 1974 as far as lot width and
size requirements are concernod. lie recommended that the Hoard study this matter
and then send a recommendation to the G1 ty COlmOn to change the '~oning Ordinance.
He suggested thRt if 50 ~ of n 5ub-division is alreaDY built on single lots that
there be no chan~ in requirement for ne;; homes i.Yl that aree, that if the sub-di v-
ision is bvil t on ~o lots the.+. thero will be no change. V:r. I,ovnl~nd rcc07:iID,ended
that instead of lots we should use a fro!lt foote.J]:'e. Ur.en ttiughf;il1\ wi sheil to go
on record as being opposed to that portion of the Zoning Ord. when it was discussed
initially by this Board and he feels the.t the requirements should only perttdn to
new Bub-diviBione. FUrther discpssion brought out the following reconrmeniat1onss
1. 'l'hat any new house bull t in en old sub. must meet or exceed the old setbG.cks.

3. 'l'hat the terme plot, lot, site plan 9 etc. w111 be used in the suggestftd chango
to the ~oning Ord.
Further discussion brought out that the 't.oning Ord., can only be changed four times
a year and tha.t it is too late to act on the matter and have it decided on by the
Nov. cut odif date. Hr Sh8DIbora moved that we table discussion of th'l.8 mattor for
further study at next meeting or till a meeting oan be arranged to study this prob-
lem. Second made by ){r Glaser. Ur Glaoer sug~ted that the members make a list
