Regarding swimming pools as permitted special uses, the Ordinance Com- mittee felt they should be accessory uses rather than the Council being deluged with special use permits. Johnson said if they thought there would be trouble with pools, review it once, and set down certain recom- mendations then. Page 18, Subd. D (3) is to be deleted. The Ordinance Committee wanted a definition of "Non-residential area". Spitzer felt it should be "non-standard". Mr. Johnson is to check this. Spitzer explained reasons for the front, side and rear yard setbacks; they want 300 feet after the road is cut out ( subdivision). Devney questioned whether they would be unduly restricting development. Spitzer said you have to allow for the roads. Mr. Johnson stated Howard Kuusisto should be consulted as to some kind of a number of feet. Spitzer explained the maximum percentages of area to be covered with parking surfaces or structures. Johnson suggested changing some of the percentages in the business area. He said every acre set aside on large development is a large economic factor. Regarding "item to retain a natural appearance", Johnson felt it should be inserted under "Intents and Purposes" rather than Gai page 26. There were many questions on the meaning of "open use of land".
