It was agreed that Mr. Jones should again review the plans and the court and state exactly what has to be done on-each item to make the court meet the requirements. It was also agreed that Mr. Barr's office should do further labeling on the plans. Mr. Jackson stated that he would like a permit which would enable him to borrow money with which to build, since no money 'Hold be obtained with the court closed by attrition. Mrs. Hajdu pointed out that I "lr. Jackson was asking for a permit for 58 trailers, but that he has not yet met the minimum require- ments for 50 trailers. Mr. Jackson stated that he could supply sewer and water to 58 trailers, but since there are also 7 houses, a permit for 50 trailers would be all right with him. Mr. Carter stated that he felt the closure by attrition should be lifted, with individual approval for each space required before it could be used. Mrs. Hajdu stated that there was previously a conflicting recommendation on the lifting of the attrition from the building inspector, and that one of the requirements had been that the plans would have to be approved first. ) ASSEMBLY MEETING - September 7, 1967 IX NEW BUSINESS X CHAIRMAN'S REPORT A.
