Starr reported on the problems of the Planning Committee in developing an ordinance. She noted six areas which an ordinance or-dinance needs to address: (1) landscaping land-scaping - should it be' five percent of the total acreage or a front strip approximately live feet wide; (2) fencing - should a chain link fence be required around each lot or not; (3) a clear vision triangle should be required. (4) should a five feet setback set-back with a zero side clearance be accepted. (5) speculation in land values in a park should be avoided, it could result in undeveloped lots and making land prices for industrial development (6) stores - the present city ordinance allows for retail stores in industrial areas, if stores are allowed what kind should they be and how will that affect the city's com-v com-v mcrcial center. i ' "We need a good restrictive ordinance or-dinance otherwise we could get a real h o d g e p o d g e development. Speculation is sometimes a real i;('oblem. The ordinance should help 16 "make the development more ' uniform.
