He felt it was not fair to <br />the people in developments with larger size houses for people to come in with <br />smaller type houses. <br /> <br />Building Official Berg stated there has been 13 permits issued for houses <br />that did not conform to the old ordinance. This was 13 out of 25 permits <br />issued since the ordinance was changed.

Three of them were for 1,092 sq. ft. and the one in <br />High Point was for 960 sq. ft. houses. He said he hasn't had any other <br />complaint than the one concerning the house in High Point. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox said he didn't have any problem with the sizes of houses <br />in the new ordinance or with the areas where there is no development yet. <br />However, he thought there should be a garage required in the ~reas where <br />there is a development already there. He said he was not for getting a lot <br />of new residential development because it might affect commercial and <br />industrial development. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilman Cox to change the ordinance to add a garage requirement <br />to the 960 sq. ft. Rambler. <br /> <br />Motion died for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said the city got the prices of the houses down to the $50,000 <br />range by not requiring garages. He suggested going back to the old ordinance <br />rather than changing the garage requirement in the new ordinance. <br /> <br />C/October 28, 1980 <br /> Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
