The pri.ncipal of Red Oak School, George Riehardaon, appaarad before
the Planning Commiasion requesting a special use permit for a trailer.
Hie echnol wae given a grant until, tentatively, July 1977, deaigned

be olar:ed on the Aed Oak side of the sohool. direutly adjaaent to
tha kinderg¢rtan. The pnlice chiof sent a latY.er indicating that
tha windowa would be obstructed on the weat eide, plus there would
ba a great chance of vandalism. Mr. Richardson stated they intended
to buy a 1971 reconditioned Marshfield Tratler. He did a person to
peraon pollfng of the homas on the 3 cornera of Red Oak Drive and
on 5herwood and the,y dia not objoct to the trailer and, in Eact~
four o£ them enrolled thetr own children in tite proqram. He hae
1~ investigated tha churches in hie area (8 af them) xnd they have na
availaLle apace. He is presantly getting bida on wator and aewer,
otherwiae they will use tha school's facilities. The Einancinq oE
a portable ola~ernom was too hiqh.
Nanoy Burmeieter reminded him that under the code accupanay is 8 1/2
people, and he had met~tionad 18 or 19 at a aesaion. Mr. Richardeon

Oon biackeben stated that he did not like the idea of a mobiie
home but maybe there is no alternative.
Nancy Durmeiater atated that eventually Rzd Oak ia going tc have
to go into something more permanent. She does noG like Zo tighten
~t by saying it haa to be this waf or that way. Sha doea not
agree with that theory, as the School Eoard should ba reaponaible
f~r the education cE the childre:~ and tho Planning Cammisaiott uhould
nat have khe or.us put on them. Tha School District could probably
come up wit4. something. Ouz rosponeibility ie to aee that the codes
are upheld.
