. . Plan Commission Minutes June 26, 1985 Page 3 2. A landscaping plan is submitted to the Director of Planning for approval and landscape material is installed and maintained in accordance with the approved plan. Mr. Douglass seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0. Mr. Jammer asked if the Commission had any objection to the layout of the parking lot being prepared by an engineer stating that he had prepared the drawing himself to show the change in location of the lot and he realized that it was not as well laid out as it could be. Mr. Hamilton said the Commission had no objection as long as the number of spaces provided (16) would remain same as shown on his plan. DOMESTIC SERVICE EMPLOYEES QUARTERS-PROPOSED ORDINANCE CHANGES Since Mr. Goldman was not present at the meeting, Mr. Hamilton asked Mr. McCauley if he would lead the discussion on the proposed ordinance changes regarding domestic service employees quarters.

Mr. McCauley stated that he appreciated the staffs efforts and he feels that the changes Mr. Goldman proposed would help deal with the potential problem with the least amount of enforcement time by the staff.

Mr. McCauley seconded the motion to amend which passed by a vote of 5-0. Mr. McCauley then made a motion to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed changes as amended, to the Zoning Code to read as follows:
