2 3/29/72 <br />E. Square footage minimums will apply to the basic outline dimensions of <br />the building, and square footage credits ere not allowed for living <br />areas on different levels. <br />Apartments <br />It was suggested we might stay with the same requirements as for a single <br />family dwelling and this would give us a simple base to work from. Mr. Korth <br />indicated there is no yard area as such end, therefore, the square footage <br />requirements for apartments and townhouses really should be more. Mr. Marier <br />said people might feel we got stuck on this 1,000 foot figure. Mr. Hill <br />suggested starting with the 3 bedroom and have it remain the same as the <br />existing code, 1,040, and then drop 120 foot per room, which would amount to <br />about a room and a closet. Mr. Kelling felt that the Council should not have <br />to raise our minimums, it wound be better for them and the listening public <br />if they should have to lower the recommendations. After considerable discussior <br />these minimums were agreed upon for apartments: <br />3 bedrooms <br />2 bedrooms <br />1 bedroom <br />efficiency <br />4 bedroom <br />a.. <br />MO <br />WO <br />Townhouses and euadTiminiums <br />1,040 sq. ft. <br />920 sq. ft. <br />800 sq. ft. <br />680 sq, ft. <br />1,160 sq. ft. <br />It was felt that these should be kept more to the larger size or they could <br />end up as slum areas in 20 years. Mr. Kelling felt that Mr. Jandric should <br />come before the group with awfully good reasons for lowering the square foot- <br />age. Mr. Hill noted that the variable droppage is 150 and 100 sq. ft. He <br />suggested having it drop 120 as for apartments. These minimums were agreed <br />upon: <br />3 bedroom <br />2 bedroom <br />4 bedroom <br />pl :nngd Unit Jevelooment <br />1,300 sq. ft. <br />1,180 sq. ft. <br />1,420 sq. ft. <br />The board all agreed they were not familiar with this type unit, They took <br />Mr. Van Housen's advice when making up the code, They felt apparently one <br />bedroom and efficiency were one in the same. It was recommended they be set at: <br />1 bedroom and efficiency - 700 sq. ft. <br />Mr. Kelling moved to <br />as presented above. <br />Mr,, Kelling moved to <br />unanimously. <br />recommend to the Council the floor area dwelling figures <br />Seconded by Mr. Karth.
