side/front entry, or wrapped garage entry from the street. The garage will not face the

proposing deed restrictions on these lots restricting construction of a fence and permanent
structures along the rear of the lots.
Mr. Keener advised that the Fire Marshal has expressed a desire to retain the alley.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Allen and a second by Commissioner
