Meeting was called to order by Chairman Brown.
Minutes of October 20, 1955, regular meeting, were read and stood
approved with one exception. Mr. Brown wished to correct the state-
ment inadvertently recorded in regards to the County Zoning Ordinance.
The statement should read as follows: County Zoning Board had recom-
mended to the County Commission the adoption of a zoning ordinance,
which had been accepted by the County zoning Board.
Minutes of November 1, 1955, special meeting, were read and stood
approved.
Since there was no immediate and urgent business at hand, the board
then went into a general discussion regarding the proposed Section 62,
Duplex Districts previously submitted by board member, Cliff McKibbin.
After much pro and con discussion, it was the consensus of opinion that
the board should definitely determine what the district should be prior
to adoption of the following proposal:
For the purpose of this ordinance, a duplex shall be defined
as a two family house; each family living independently of the
other, with separate entrances for each family, and the house
not to be over one story in height.
In certain R--1, Rl -X and R1 -B, and R -1A areas, hereafter to be
determined by the prescribed procedure, the construction of
dwellings, known as duplexes shall be permitted, provided the
following limitations are observed:
A. Uses Permitted: Residential
B. Building Height Limit: One Story
C. Building Site Area & Frontage Required:
1. R 1, R1 -B, and Rl -X areas:
7,500 square feet of area & 75 foot frontage
2. RI -A areas: 9,000 square feet of area & 83 -1/3 foot
frontage (3 plots in block of 5 -50 ft. lots)

Also, at this time the board entered into a discussion of (1) eliminating
and /or possibly combining some of the different fourteen zoning districts
and (2) changing the coding of the districts to a more simple form.
However, it was Felt that to change the coding of the different districts
now might possibly throw the residents, business people, especially the
real estate agents, into a state of confusion.
The following was a suggested possibility:
