Re: Duplex Guidelines.

unobstructed access to and egress from each space at all times, behind the

required front. yard set back. ec] That one only, duplex be permitted within a cul-de-sac.

I propose the folicwing changes to the Zoning By-law: a] That section 502 (3) (b) be revised to read - 'in the RS-1 zone shall not be permitted closer than 600 ft. from any other Two Family Residential Use along both sides of any street.' , a = b] ‘hat the following clause be added - ' shall not be permitted where any other Two Family Residential Use is existing within the same cul-de-sac.’ ec] That under Accessory Off-Street Parking Use a section requiring in a Tio Family Residential Use shall provide one space per dwelling unit in a manner _ _ . go as to permit unobstructed access to and egress from each space at ail times, =

lLecated to the rear of the required front yard.

are about to issue a permit, but regardless of there opinions the permit would be
