Special Harbor Planning Meeting

STONE HARBOR - The Planning Board will hold a meeting Monday. August 6 in Brough Hall at 1:30 p.m. to allow the general public an opportunity to comment on a preliminary recommendation by the Board to require larger lot sizes for future duplex construction and conversion of single family homes intoduplexes in ,, B"and "C” districts. This subject has been under discussion at the Planning Board’s bi-

monthly meetings for some time. Their recommendation is being made to conform with the Borough's Master Plan vmich specifies future restrictions on the growth of duplex residences. Under present zoniqg ordinances on minimum lot sizes both a single family home or duplex has the same lot area requirements. However, in an effort to control population density the

Board sees logic in requiring duplex properties to have more ground for living space and . off-street parking than that required by.a single family Home. ' According!, the Board urges the general public to attend this all important meeting so they may consider any additional public comments on this subject when they present their recommendation to require larger lot sizes for future duplexes.
