MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSLON JUNE 10, 2004 Knudsen asked if the majority of the surrounding suburbs allow a 5-foot setback on one side yard. The Planner replied that many do. The biggest issue for these cities is that the 5-foot setback is allowed for garage space which results in ensuring that the minimum setback of 10 feet is maintained for living area. Barraclough stated that he supported the Text Amendment, but did not want to require property owners to submit surveys of adjacent properties. Barraclough stated that he also would like to see the Ordinance better define living area. Wojcik stated that he supported the Text Amendment. Keis recommended approval of the Ordinance amending Chapter 905.050 of the Little Canada City Code, known as the 7.oning Ordinance, by providing for side yard setbacks for attached garages as submitted by the City Planner with the requirement that the Ordinance include a better defnition of living space.
