MINUTES Planning Commission Feb. 9, 1984 Manufactured Homes Adjourn Mr. Locke felt that the only way to prevent a single -wide manufactured home from coming in would be to put a minimum width requirement in the Code. Locke also pointed out that any restrictions on the manufactured housing would apply to a single family home as well. Mr. DeLonais asked if the City could restrict single -wide trailers from being brought in a residential neighborhood. Mr. Locke replied that only by the width requirement. Mr. French asked why Mr. Locke objected to a minimum width of 24 feet. Mr. Locke replied that this would apply to single family homes as well and the City has some that are 22 feet wide. Locke pointed out that the widest single -wide trailer is 18 feet. Mr. Licht suggested that the minimum width requirement he 22 feet and that manufactured homes must conform to the Guidelines for Manufactured Housing Installations. The Commission discussed the possibility of a single -wide trailer with a small addition being able to meet the 22 foot width requirement. Mr. Locke did not feel that this would qualify under the width minimum and would not cause a problem. Mr. French pointed out that the main structure of the home would have to be at least 22 feet wide and, therefore, this requirement would not cause a problem even if a single family house had a small addition on it Mr. DeLonais recommended adoption of the third proposed ordinance, that is, an ordinance amending Sections of the Little Canada Zoning Ordinance pertaining to mobile (Manufactured) homes. Motion seconded by Mr. French. Motion carried 8 - 0. Mr. French recommended that the meeting he adjourned. Motion seconded by Mr. Costa. Motion carried 8 - 0. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:25 P.M. Respectfully submitted,j / r/ Kathleen Glanzer, Recording Secretary Page -7-
