Resolution No. 254
EXHIBIT "A"
The existing five foot side yard requirement does not promote
the best spacing of apartment buildings. A ten foot side yard require-
ment will improve the site development for apartment projects and will
significantly reduce the fire hazard caused by the close proximity of
buildings.
