The'Staff discussed with the Commission a problem involving covered patios in the exterior side yard of corner lots. It was noted that the zoning ordinance is silent on how far eaves can project into the required yard areas but normally the Building Code provisions would allow 30 inch maximum eaves in a side yard. It was also noted that un- enclosed patios may be constructed in the rear yard to within five feet of the rear property line. It was the concensus that patio covers, if unenclosed, would be acceptable in the exterior side yards -as they are permitted in the rear yard. The Staff was requested to draft a Code amendment accordingly for consideration by the Commission...- W. C. Warner Secretary THERE BEING•NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THE MEETING ADJOURNED.
