A. Regular Meeting - 9/21/67. Mr. Jackson stated that the minutes concerning his trailer court were not clear and that he was concerned about how they would be interpreted. He understood that he was to have as- builts made, presented to the Borough Engineer for his approval, and then present them to the Assembly for them to consider lifting the closure of the court by attrition. He said that the minutes could be interpreted to mean that his plans should be submitted to P &Z and he would have to start the whole procedure again. Mrs. Hajdu stated that this was what was meant- -that no plans had been submitted originally and that there had not been a hearing held by P &Z on the 50 -unit court. Mr. Lester stated that he agreed with Mrs. Hajdu and that he under- stood the as- builts were to be reviewed by the Engineer and presented to P &Z so that they could submit their recommendations to the Assembly. Mr. Jackson stated that his attorney had advised him that he should not go back to P &Z again. It was decided to continue this discussion later in the meeting, since the only order of business before the Assembly was the approval of the minutes. Mrs. Hajdu moved, seconded by Mr. Bullock, that the minutes be approved as written. Mr. Bullock stated that he had not been at the meeting and requested that the motion be amended to state that the minutes be approved if there were no objections.

It was decided not to read the minutes, and that anyone in the audience could ask to read them if they wished.

ASS E G October 51 197 B. T. T. Jackson re Trailer Court. Mr. Jackson stated that he would like to get the closure by attrition lifted from the court, and that he understood that if he submitted as- -built plans to the Engineer and the Assembly, consideration would be given to lifting the closure. Mr. Jackson stated that the new as- builts had been completed by Barr's Office, but had been rejected by Rolland Jones. He felt that he should not have to go through P &Z again to get permission to use Lots 4 - and 16 of USS 3233 as a trailer court. Mr. Madsen read the P &Z minutes of June 22, 1965, and agreed that as- builts must be submitted to determine if the court covers only Lots 4 - and 16. If there are any trailers located on other than these lots, they will either have to be removed or an appliacation for expansion of the court will have to be submitted to P &Z. After the as-builts have been approved by the Engineer for Lots 4--8 and 16, they should be presented to the Assembly for approval. The Engineer's review will determine whether the court meets the requirements of the ordinance. Mr. Jackson stated that he had received a temporary permit for the trailers on lots other than 4 - and 16. The Assembly did not know of such a permit.

Hajdu asked if the Borough had purchased the sewer and water lines for the school, or if we had only paid for the tie -in.

The part of the line on the property which they lost by non - payment will be appraised and sold. Mr. Lester reported that Mr. Keenan had written stating that if the Borough wishes, future extensions over a certain period of time and above a certain amount can be first approved by the Borough.
