recommending approval of a conditional Manufactured

model homes at Colonial Village Rustad Lane,

No. 391-94
The Planning Commission deliberated on
the question of how many model homes
could be available for sale at any one
time. It was questioned as to whether
or not the park should be restricted on
• the number of new or used homes
displayed for sale. Planning Associate
Pruitt informed the Commission that she
spoke with the City Attorney who advised
her that a model home is defined as new
or used.
Mr. Liggett explained to the Planning
Commission that State law requires that
the seller of a manufactured home
provide the buyer with a statement,
known as a safety disclosure, verifying
that the home is up to Code. Mr.
Liggett also expressed that it is to the
City's advantage to grant this request
because it would upgrade the park. He
further expressed that the primary goal
of management is to keep the park full.
Further discussion again ensued by the
Planning Commission on the number of
homes that would be allowed to be
available for sale at any one time. The
Planning Commission concurred that the
number of homes offered for sale shall
not exceed six percent of the licensed
lots in the park. The Commission
requested that the applicant provide, on
