B. Marietta Coons/Tom Boyer - Trailer Location on Lot 4. U. S. Survey 3099 -
Mrs. Coons gave a brief explanation on why they now have five (5) trailers
located on the lot 4B and 4C of U. S. Survey 3099..�She stated that three of
the trailers are permenant and two are on a temporary status. They have about
1} acres of total acreage.' In its present condition the lot constitutes a mobile
home park and she cannot afford to put'one in. She stated that she'Id buy the
license if need be; but cannot put in the requirements of a mobile home park.
She does not charge rent to any of the people. The code states that you cannot
have more than two trailers on a private lot, or else it consitutes a trailer park.
It would have to be subdivided to solve the problem. The space between the
trailers is now adequate. and they are hooked up- to city sewer and water. Mrs.
Gellis asked about issuing a. temporary permit origranting an exception. The
only solution would be to get rid of the excess trailers and replat the lot. The
Haines have been issued a temporary trailer permit by the Building Inspector
for the period of one year on Lot 4B. Mr. Holt moved that a temporary permit
be issued for the placement of this additional trailer, conditional on removal
of the other two (2) trailers by the first of'July, and submission by that time
of the plan to subdivide so that they only have one trailer on one lot Second
