Swimming Pool Ordinance: The Committee conducted a final review of a

SwImming pools within the Village of Mount Prospect. Our Village
Attorney was present to answer some of the questions of the Committee

to prepare an ordinance with some slight changes from the draft for
first reading at the Board Meeting April 4.
It is the consensus of the Committee that swimming pools should remain
a special use and each permit request Should he,' looked into by the
Board of Appeals at a formal hearing as, has been'the practice of
late.

�OM ittee w,111, �t e on t e charge of looking into the possible
solutions to a problem the Board has recently cpntly been confronted with:
unsightly garbage cans and dumps tern in and about Mount prospect, The
Village Attorney had prepared a draft of 44 ordinance amending Section
19-205, which we understand is in no way a recommendation of the Ad-
ministration — but only something from wilich this Com,mitt6e can work
to develop a proper and fitting ordinance. The Committee has received
the request; we wish the Clerk to place the item on our docket sheet;
and we will be taking up this matter at our next meeting.
Flooring Standards for Residential DwelliR,&§�: While the Committee has
reported, out, on this subject at the Spec al Meeting of Tuesday,
March 28, it should be noted that discussion was had by t4is Committee
to recommend the setting of higher standards for flooring in multiple
family buildings and to simultaneously lower the s,tand4rds in single
family buildings -- thereby making our minimum flooring requirements
unkform, in all residential buildings.
