e.' '. e Page 8 PROPOSAL: Carport: a roofed structure, free-standing or attached to another structure designed to provide covered parking for vehicles. A carport shall have no enclosing walls. A structure shall not be considered to be a carport unless it is located directly over a driveway. COMMENTARY: This definition would simply define the term carport so that carports could be differentiated from other types of structures. The second related amendment would be a wording change to Section 10-301.1. The second paragraph of this section, which deals with detached garages and carports, presently reads: : . A detached private garage, or carport, as defined, may be permitted in side yards, provided: (1) they comply wi th all the requirements of this section; (2) they shall be five feet (5') or more from side lot lines; and (3) the side yard does not abut a street right-of-way. PROPOSAL: The first sentence of this paragraph should be amended to omit the word carport. This would prevent a conflict with the carport provisions proposed for Section 10-401.4. As amended the sentence would read "A detached private garage, as defined, may be permitted in side yards, provided..." PROPOSAL: Section 10-500 General Fencinq and Landscapinq Reauirements: 10-507.2. Fences in commercial and industrial zones which are primarily erected as a security measure may have areas projecting into the applicant's property on which barbed wire can be fastened commencing at a point at least seven feet (7') above the ground, and such fence shall not be erected within the required landscaped portion of any yard or the front yard setback of any commercial or industrial establishment. COMMENTARY: Presently, fencing requirements for commercial establishments are not clearly stated. The amendment proposed for the preceding paragraph would help establish clear requirements that are in line with existing fencing requirements for other use zones. ecH'BIT B
