More than 100 residents
crowded the Plymouth City
Commissionmeeting last week in
response to a new ordinance
which limits home sizes in the
city.
The commissioners heard
from several residents who were
opposed to the current spate of
“Bigfoot” homes being construct-
ed on lots which formerly held
smaller, older homes and from
others who felt the new rules
weremuch too restrictive.
A second reading of a new
ordinance limiting the size of
homes by a ratio of lot sizes was
on the agenda for a second read-
ing and approval by members of
the commission.
The new limitswere approved
with only Commissioner Colleen
Pobur casting a no vote on the
new ordinance, saying that she
felt it was too restrictive.
The new ordinance, the Floor
Area Ratio Ordinance, was
developed by members of the
planning commission as an effort
to curb the construction of large
new homes or extensive remod-
eling homes on smaller lots.
The new ordinance is one of
several recent changes in rules
for new home construction in the
city, according to officials, includ-
ing restrictions on the size of
garages which face the street and
allowing larger porches.
The new ordinance floor area
ratio will limit the size of houses
that can be built on various size
lots. Currently, a property 50 feet
by 120 feet, would be allowed to
construct a 4,200 square foot
home. With the new ordinance,
set to become effective next
month, the building or remodel-
ing would be limited to a maxi-
mumof 2,400 square feet.
The adopted restriction is a .4
floor area ratio, the lowest con-
sidered by members of the com-
mission, although some audience
members sought to make it even
more restrictive. The ratio
excludes garages but does
include the total square footage
of the home, preventing the con-
struction of large second floor
additions which previously could
double the size of ahome.
During discussion of the ordi-
nance, Pobur noted that this was
a 40 percent reduction in
allowed floor area for new home
construction.
Kevin O'Keefe, a developer
currently building four homes in
the city, said that the new rules
would have prevented the con-
struction of three of the houses.
He said tearing down substan-
dard homes built just after World
War II and building newer homes
for families is good for the com-
munity and thehousingmarket.
