A discussion regarding the proposed Mobile Home Ordinance was
conducted.
Mr. Douglas, Instant Homes representative, felt that this
ordinance was too restrictive in that it called for too large a lot
and did not contain any variance provisions for unusual circumstances.
He felt there was a need to blend 'the homes for a neighborhood effect
and for appearance. He also felt .that there was: too much space wasted
between mobile homes and this large a lot would cause the charges to
each home owner to be too high. Mr. Douglas felt that a great deal
more study should be given to the overall concept and this. ordinance
should be compared with others from ether areas. He also would like.
to see the Planners involved as they had had much valuable. experience.
Bill Jensen, engineer for Instant Homes;: explained their
master plan for the mobile home park and how much land would be dedicated
for parks and school. They also plan to have a nine hole golf course.
Don Rye, Midwest Planners.,. also felt that 6,000 sq. ft.
was too excessive. He felt that 5,000 sq. ft. was adequate with credit
given for off site parking recommended.
Mr. Boeckman, Farmington School Supt., explained how the
developer could build a central core :unit that. could be used for a gym
or other purpose and portable classrooms would be used to take care
of kindergarten through grade 3. Other homes in the area could utilize
the school so that there would be no segregated type area.. He felt
that this would be a genuine cooperative effort between school and
community.
Mr. Douglas stated that he felt the planned unit development
approach would be best:
The council then went through the proposed ordinance and
discussed different questions It was felt that a development
contract with the developers was needed in addition to the ordinance.
