Minutes of Regular Council Meeting. September 28. 1959 2 . Mr. Kennedy moved that this be considered the first reading of an ordin- ance to rezone this Grudnoske property from residential to commercial. that amount not to exceed amount requested in petition. The exact amount to be determined before ordinance is drafted. Mr. Crepeau seconded motion. Motion passed. Mr. Kennedy suggested that the Council should insist that a survey of land- to be rezoned be furnished with petition requesting rezoning so that ~ the exact parcel in question can be easily determined. Mr. S. J. Kranak appeared before the CounCil, at Council request. The Council req~ested Mr. Kranak to surface Gramsie Road to Rolling Hills Road. Mr. Kranak stated that he will have it done before cold weather sets in. Dr. Edward Walsh, 1401 Forest Lane, asked the Council if they had re- ceived a report from their attorney on the legality of building a swim- ming pool on Forest Lane. The proposed pool is to be built by not more than 10 familias on a lot not yet purchased by the families. Attorney Courtney stated that he had found nothing in our building code or ordinance specifically referring to swimming pools. If a pool is to be an accessory building to a home, it would require a permit and any problems concerning it would be referred to the Board of Appeals. If the proposed pool construction is not a private pool, the Council has the . power to pass an ordinance permitting construotion and regulation. He recommended that the Council amend the zoning ordinance to ~efine swimming pools or else pass a separate ordinance dealing with pools, describing prooedure and specifioations. Dr. C. E. Watz. 1415 Skiles Lane and P. B. Hale. l40l Skiles Lane. adjacent property owners to the proposed pool brought up several points they would like the Council to consider before they passed such an ordin- anoe. They did not feel that it would be possible for the Counoil to enact an ordinance that would make this project nuisance-free to the adjacent property owners. Mr. Kennedy stated that the Public Welfare Committee had also considered this matter at their committee meeting. The committee did not oppose the idea of pools but could see many proplems , arising with them. If an ordinance was passed onabling this pool to be built, they felt ,that all surrounding property owners should have acoess to the pool. The committee also felt that a chain-link fence of sufficient height would be neoessary ~ to keep small children out of the pool area at unsupervised times. The mayor reoommended that the SWimming pool matter be laid over until the next regular Council meeting. The Council ooncarred and felt that the matter will need to be considered carefully and there will probably have to be an amendment to the zoning ordinance before the pool can be built. . Engineer Carley was allil:ed when the 12 Village street maps requested by the Council would be ready. He stated that he expected to have them the next day.
