and noted that in order to setback 150' from all lines, you would need a lot of property. Director Keating clarified that this setback applies only to commercial kennels in an Agricultural District; there will be different regulations for those in Commercial Districts. Page 44 - 10.d. Criteria for Noncommercial Stables. Commissioner Wodtke felt if we require such uses to be on lots of no less than 2 acres, this would preclude having a stable in RS -1 or RS -3 or RM -3 to a certain extent. Director Keating noted that conceivably you could have a large tract zoned RS -3 or RM -3, and this would allow a non- commercial stable as an accessory use. Commissioner Wodtke confirmed that the 100' setback pertains only to the structure, but felt this limits the use of the property. He then discussed the requirement for a fence 4' high totally enclosing the area, and wished to know what determines the kind of fence, i.e., barbed wire, electric, etc. Director Keating noted that while we do not have a specific definition for fence, we do have a specific fence ordinance, and in any zoning district other than Agricultural, a barbed wire fence would require special approval. Commissioner Bird inquired what the minimum is that an individual would need in order to have a lot and house one horse, and Director Keating stated that it would require two acres and proper zoning. He further noted that accessory uses are only allowed on a lot after construction and use of the principal use. Commissioner Scurlock felt that an 100' setback is too much and that 50' or 75' would be more reasonable, and Commissioner Wodtke agreed, noting that most existing barns would not be legal because of the 100' setback as people generally do not put a barn in the center of their property. Commissioner Bird suggested the setback requirement be reduced to 50', and this was agreed upon. 25 JAN 16 1935 BOOK 5- F-nUF 479 I
