Motion carried.
Reviewal and discussion of the proposed zoning ordinance com-
menced, with the following comments and suggestions being made:
Page 2, Subd. 8 --there was some discussion regarding foster
children and whether in line 2 there should be an age limit set
of sixteen years. Mr. Schmock read a portion of a letter from
David Licht relating to the State Code regarding foster children
which indicated that this subd. does not conflict with the State
law.
Page 6, Subd. 35 --agree with LRPC that wording should include
blood relatives living together.
Page 8, Subd. 44 --there was some discussion regarding the per-
missable home occupations allowed.
Page 10, Subd. 57 --agree with LRPC that the wording "separate
outside entrance" should be changed.
Page 13, Subd. 78 --agree with LRPC that last line should read
"Furthermore, hardships cannot be demonstrated on a purely econo-
mic basis."
Page 15, 515.07, Subd. 3 --questioned the meaning of "50% of
physical obsolescence" as suggested by LRPC - think "50% of fair
market value" is better wording.
Page 16, Subd. 9 --agree with LRPC to change wording in the second
last line to read "which do not physically extend or intensify. ".
Page 16, Subd. 10 --agree with LRPC to take out word "bulk" from
the second last line and insert instead "size or volume".
Page 17, Subd. 2 --think this subd. needs clarification. There
was discussion regarding the difference between basements and
cellars, whether bedrooms are permissable in basements, and
questioned whether this subd. would affect people sleeping in
tents in the summer in their back yards.

September 24, 1973 - continued
Page 19, Item 7 --there was some discussion regarding the change
