(6) <br /> "...Sheet metal siding shall not be permitted in such <br /> districts not over at least fifty (50) percent of <br /> entire structure." <br /> be amended to: "Sheet metal siding shall not be permitted <br /> in such districts not over at least fifty (5) percent <br /> of exterior walls." <br /> Article 2, Section 24, 24. proposed (8) <br /> "Ail future new dwellings in and R -5 single family <br /> residential district shall have an attached double <br /> garage of a minimum of 600 square feet." <br /> be amended to: All future new dwellings in an R -5 single <br /> family residential district shall have an attached <br /> multi -bay garage of a minimum of 600 square feet. <br /> Gerald Rchbein, 6266 Otter Lake Road, was present. Mr. Rehbein <br /> noted that Article 2, Section 24 (2) reads that no residential <br /> structure shall have a width of less than twenty -four feet at its <br /> narrowest point.
