April 14, 1980 Mr. Schumacher said the Planning Commission had gone over this request and had read the Ordinance restricting the placement of mobile homes. He pointed out that a mobile home is allowed while a home is being constructed. Mr. Elsenpeter felt that the only difference between a modular and a mobile home is the wheels. She wondered if, modular are allowed, would there be a reason for not allowing bobiles. The Ordinance does not address modular homes. Mr. McLean saidthe problem with mobile homes is there cannot be an on- site inspection. This would be of concern to this Council. Mayor Gourley asked if there had been a variance application submitted to the Planning and Zoning and Mr. Schumacher saind, No, Mayor Gourley advised Mrs. Illg that would be the place to start. Mr. Scumacher felt this should be handled through a special use permit application. In this form, limitations could be set and monitored. Mrs. Illg was advised to proceed in this manner. The next item to be considered was the Special Use Permit by Mr. Henry Suchy. Mayor Gourley noted that a letter had been sent of Mr. Suchy along with a special use permit form. Mr. Suchy had returned the special use permit as an inventory of the livestock he has on his land at this point in time. This special use permit should have been for anon- conforming use. Mayor Gourley told Mr. Suchy that he should have the signatures of the person who own lands within 350' of his property. Mr. Suchy felt that his land is surrounded by lands owned by Mr. Nadeau or relatives and no one would sign this form. Mayor Gourley answered Mr. Suchy's question on the size of the land noting that, in order to be classified as a farm, it it necessary to have five acres with 300' frontage. Mr. McLean pointed out that Mr. Nadeau had used the site as the center of his farming operations. He had operated on 100+ acres at the time. Mr. Nadeau pointed out that there had been no cattle raising on his farm. Mr. McLean said that was not mentioned - Mr. Nadeau sold the house and barn with five acres of land to Mr. Suchy and Mr. Nadeau agreed. Mr. McLean pointed out the section in the Ordinance requiring any new farming operation to be issued a special use permit. He felt that this Council needs a legal opinion from Mr. Locher in order for this Council to make a decision. Mr. McLean moved this be tabled, a legal opinion from Mr. Locher, find out what the pre- existing use was and what the legal aspects of this is and make a decision. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion delcared carried with Mayor Gourley voting, No. Mr. Peter Kluegel gave a brief report on the Rules and Regulations of WPC -40. He stated there have been very few changes. The sizing of the drainfields has been changed to reflect the volumn rather than the number of bedrooms. The depth of the drainfields has been lessened. The footage above the water table has changed from a four foot requirement to a three foot requirement. In problem soils, alternate systems are to be installed.
