THE TENTATIVE REPORT
1. Section 3. The Board of Zoning Appeals appointment procedures are
changed so that a separate Board of Zoning Appeals is created.
2. Section 25, which covers the Powers and Duties of the Board of Zoning

Appeals can be appealed to either the Board of City Commissioners or
to a court of record. As presently written there is an appeal only
to a court of record.
3. Section 12, subsection 15. In 1958 this section was amended to per-
mit cleaning establishments in District "E" (General Business District).
The ordinance which was passed at that time has been incorporated into
the present suggested ordinance.
4. Section 19, subsection 13. This subsection has been changed so that
the maximum height of accessor buildings in residential areas will
be 15 feet (previously 18 feet and the area occupied by such an
accessory building may not occupy more than thirty (30) percent of

S. Section 11, subsection 9d. This covers use regulations in District
"D" (Local Business) governing filling stations. In the tentative
report it reads, "d. All fuel, oil or similar substances shall be
stored at least thirty (30) feet from any street or lot line," In
the final report this has been changed to read, "d. The storage of
fuel and oil shall be in accordance with the current regulations of
the State Fire Marshalls Office and any subsequent amendments thereto".
6. Section 11, subsection 15. This subsection regulates the number of _
persons which can be employed in laundries operating in District "D".
