Chairman Wood stated the Commission is not ready to made any recommendations to the City Council at this time. He said Mr. LeBaron is going to make a survey on this. Chairman Wood stated there is a need for larger houses and it needs to be less restrictive. Doug Long came forward. He stated he talked to Mrs. Calvert about what was the rear building line. He said the way it reads now, if you don't have an easement, you can build up to the property line. Mr. Long asked if you have an "L" shaped house, which is the rear wall. He said he talked with the Building Inspectors about this and they had different interpretations. Mr. Long said he understands the reason for changing the ordinance was to allow a person to put a pool up to an easement. He said if we have to stay 5 feet off an easement, we hesitate to give an easement. . Page 3 P & Z Minutes July 12, 1990 .
