MINUTES Planning Commission August 4, 1983 T) Hoffman Div. (Cont.) Mr. Licht felt that the current 40' wide street to the property would be sufficient. The Planning Commission members were not all in agreement as to whether or not the existing 40' wide driveway was sufficient to provide access to 6 lots. Gene DeLonais made a motion to table the proposal until a more detailed presentation can be made by the developer, along with the Planners report. Motion seconded by Tom Ducharme. Motion carried 5 -0. Manufactured Mr. Licht stated that the Council wanted a recommendation from the Homes Planning Commission soon. There is now litigation on cities not allowing manufactured homes. Mr. Licht felt that a massive application of low value housing any where in the city was not acceptable. The Blaine proposal calls for a 24' width requirement and also requires a pitch roof, which, while would allow a double wide mobile home, it would in design, look better. Peter Costa asked what the Council's hurry was in wanting to draft on ordinance. Sharon Timmons asked if the Little Canada City attorney had submitted an opinion on the provisions for manufactured housing. The Planning Commission felt that perhaps, the City could wait and see what action is being taken by other cities. Tom Ducharme pointed out that we, a small city, already had 3 trailer courts and didn't need to encourage any further mobile homes in residential areas. Sharon Timmons made a motion to take no action on this matter, but to make it an on -going study until such time as the Planning Commission had sufficient information on current litigation and other action on this matter by other cities, and that the Planning Commission requests an opionion from the City Attorney, and also requests that a member of the City Council be present at the next Planning Commission meeting, to present the Council's view on the matter. Motion seconded by Gene DeLonais. Motion carried 5 -0, P,JAc1('
