USE PERMIT CASE NO. 68 -126 - MOBILE HOME PARK, 1211 FARRELL ROAD (JONES)
Director Gallop requested permission to introduce a non - agenda item re-
garding the mobile home park approved by this Commission in June, 1968, Resolution
68 U. On motion of Commissioner Skelton, seconded by Commissioner St. Denis,
and unanimously carried, proposed Mobile Home Park at 1211 Farrell Road was intro-
duced as a non - agenda item.
Director Gallop advised that Mr. Jones has completed development plans on
the proposal and would like to make one change on the requirements. The original
requirement was for a 6' decorative concrete block wall on all property lines except
for 15' set back on Farrell Road. In the design of the park, they are asking for a
change in this requirement #10 of Resolution 68 -97 U, where this wall could be re-
placed with a decorative wood fence on the east, west and rear property line. He
stated a concrete block fence would still be installed on the front property line.
Mr. Morton Binder, designer of the mobile home park, was present and stated
they propose a two sided wood fence, primarily because it will be seen from both
sides and because of the trees, it would not be practical to put in footings for
the concrete blocks, and he believed it would be a better job and better looking.
Director Gallop advised that this would be a change of Condition #10 of
Resolution No. 68 -97 U. After discussion, the following action was taken.
RESOLUTION NO. 69 -115 U
