Nessrs F.B.Ashdown, H.Jsmes Gut, Edward Higgins, J.L. Ingley and E.F.Lene,members
of t. he Zoning Board of Adjustment, next met with the Commission to consider proposed
changes in the Zoning Ordinance.
Nr Ingley, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Adjustment, then advised that the Board
had reconsidered their request to amend the Zoning Ordinance so that the minimum re-
quirement for ground floor area for dwellings in Districts R-1 and R-1-A would in-
clude paved porte-cocheres and porches where all are under one roof, and now recommend
that it be amended, whereby, in Districts R-1 the minimum ground floor area of 800
square feet for a one story dwelling, exclusive of porte-cocheres and attached porches
will be changed to require a minimum ground floor area of not less than 600 square
feet in the house proper, exclusive of car ports, porte-cocheres, porches and attached
garages. Nr Ingley stated that his Board felt that any reduction in ground floor area
for dwellings should be applicable to all areas zoned in District R-l, instead of
specific areas, so as to allow all property owners in such zones an equal opportunity to
construct this type of dwelling.
Nr Higgins and Nr. Gut also concurred in the recommendations submitted by Nr. Ingley.
Thereupon Commissioner Chase moved that the Commission accept the recommendations
of the Zoning Board of Adjustment and that a Public Hearing be held at 8:00 o'clock
P.N. December 8, 1949, to consider the aforesaid changes in the Zoning Ordinance and
that legal notice of such hearing be published in the Sanford Herald.
Seconded by Commissioner Krider and carried.
