Therefore, this section should be rewordei ~sgate that any residential building may be located within 500' fIUD al,f:dre hydrant as the fire hose would lay. Section 5 - 404 Sub-paragraph 2A 5 -- The maxinun length of a CI'Ildl~s-ac street should correspond with the length allowed by the Feder.&! mbasing Administration and be pennitted as long as the street has the siaDdard fire hydrant spacing as required by the fire department. Section 5 - 501 -- This section states that - other resident_ and supporting uses may be pennitted within manufactured housing di~ts; however, it does not define the supporting uses which are pezmit1tlsili. Section 5 - 600 -- This section needs to define single dwelling special lot. Section 5 - 700 Table B Residential -- This table needs to incre&s.e; the maximum height restriction column to 45' for all residential uses. 1his will allow homes built on stilts due to the floodplain and \wold also allow 3-story lJI.JIti-family buildings. FUrther, sane hanes Ul! the floodplain are forced to build up their grade. However, if t~ C0ver the additional grade by a brick facing, the measurement would.be !d1gher than the 35' limi t. Also, the mininun site area per uni t shoIlJIll<il be increased to 4.8 dwelling units per acre for single family detllldled. This is the current lot yield per acre in major La Porte subdi~~ions and provides adequate spacing and yard areas for quali ty residemttial developnent. Also the minirrun site area per unit should be incre&S.1ed on multi-family to 27 dwelling units per acre. which corresponds with, the current La Porte practice on multi-family densities. The maxinun, lot cover percentage should be increased for single family detached to 50%. This would allow larger hanes to be bui lt on lots for famil ies desir.ing a sl ightly smaller yard area. The maxinun lot coverage for single family zero lot line should be increased to 70% because this style of homes is specially designed to appeal to hane buyers who desire very little yard maintenance. The maxirmm lot coverage on muIti-fwnily should be increased to 65%. [ lA
