The <br /> Roland Kelly Special Committee of volunteers met at length on two occasions. <br /> Third District <br /> The highlights of the Bill are as follows: <br /> John Broden <br /> Fourth District 1. In § 2-76.1 (a) (20) it would include the listing of twenty (20) areas <br /> throughout the City which would be specifically designated as RDA's. <br /> David Varner <br /> Fifth District 2. In § 2-77.1 (b) it would delete the current language set forth in¶ 1 <br /> and¶ 2 which reads: <br /> Thomas Zakrzewski <br /> Sixth District (1) The lots and/or parcels on which the dwellings are to be <br /> constructed must have minimum frontage of sixty (60) feet, and must have a <br /> Sean Coleman minimum lot area of six thousand(6,000)square feet; <br /> At Large <br /> (2)The front, side, and rear setback requirements shall be those <br /> John Hosinski of the"A"Height and Area District Regulations of this Code <br /> At Large <br /> to enable a multifaceted approach to single-family construction. <br /> Cleo Washington <br /> At Large 3. It adds the state law condition that all single-family owner-occupied <br /> residentially zoned dwellings must meet all local code standards for habitability, <br /> Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand and that no fees for RDA designation,except all required cost of publishing the <br /> Council Attorney required notice,if applicable. <br /> 4.

With this legislation,it is <br /> hoped that the City's goal of having 2000 new single family units constructed <br /> within the City can be reached if not surpassed by the year 2000. <br />
