For the purposes of providing open space about Industrial properties we need to recognize two basic situations: (1) Industrial areas that are.served by railroad trackage.facilities,-and.(2) Industrial areas that are not served by railroad trackage facilities. Those.industrial - areas with railroad trackage service should be given some open space credit for the railroad right-of=way needed for trackage. Areas without such railroad trackage should be required to provide open space for rear yards and etc. In order to accomplish this werecommend the following: a. Add to Article 33.06: Rear Yard Depth Lots without Abutting Railroad Trackage: 1 story 30 feet 2 stories 40 feet 3 stories . 50 feet Five_..(5) feet more eachadditional story Lots with Abutting Railroad Trackage: None.- b.'

This realignment would provide for two (2) Assistant Chiefs in the Police Department instead of one (1) and for fifty (50) Police Patrolmen instead of the present fifty-one'(51).

This recommendation was initially presented to Mayor Alex P. Smekta and ahas received'his endorsement and approval.
