NEW ORDNANCE
FOR CITY PLAN
Revised in Hope That Matter
Will Meet Approval of
Board of Aldermen

A revised ordinance, believed to
cover the situation in a more salts
factory manner than the one prev
iouslY submitted for the approval OF
the Board of Aldermen was drawn
UP at the special meeting Of the City
Plan and Zoning Commission held
last night in the city hall.
City Attorney Leo Lioldberger
vas present at the meeting to advise
the members of the commission con-
cerning the wording of the ordin-
ance and to state the position of the
Board of Aldermen on the question
Mr.. t4cldberger took the ,sition al
ready stated by Alderman-at-Large
il ~ Wester. that the board merely
ohje.. ed to the wording of the prev
ious ordinance for the reason that in
some cases it would be unjust while
working good in others.
The ordinance returned by the al
dermen for revision and alienation
provided that no garage be erected
less than fifteen feet from the prop
erty line. The board did not con-
slider it advisable to pass such an
ordinance. owing to the hardship it
would impose upon the owners of
corner lots.
1t was further inadvisable for the
reason that it was indefinite in its
wording. AS pointed out by City At
torney Goldberger, each lot has four
property lines and by the former
ordinance it was not stated which
property line was meant.
After considerable discussion of
the matter between the city attor-
ney and the members of the City
Plan Commission had aired all sides
of the question so thoroughly that
no further misunderstanding could
longer exist, a provisional ordi-
nance was drawn up by Mr.. Gold
berger and read to the commission
for approval. After it had been
explained by the city attorney and
had been discussed in reference to
its limitations and possibilities a
vote was taken which resulted in
revised wording. The ordinance
will be represented to the Board of
Aldermen for approval and passage
at the next meeting.
Substantially the revision will
make the ordinance read as follows,
although certain minor changes may
be made before its final passage:

Amboy.
