SUBJECT: Mobile Home Ordinance
DATE: April 12, 1968
I am enclosing the mobile home ordinance as amended at the regular meeting
of the Council on April 2 , 1968 . You will recall that several recommenda-
tions for amendment to the ordinance as submitted at that time were made
by Bob Crane. The Council allowed the amendments he suggested to Section
23-1019, paragraphs (a) , (b) , (1) , and (n) .
Paragraph (b) merely involved the deletion of a possibly superfluous
provision pertaining to proper drainage grades . Paragraphs (1) and (m)
were somewhat more matarial and have been revised as directed by the
Council pursuant to Mr. Crane 's request. The Council also agreed to
amend paragraph (a) to eliminate the distinction between travel trailer
parks , mixed mobile home and travel trailer parks , and mobile home
par" s . The basis of Mr . Crane 's request that this distinction be
eliminated was in order that the proprietor of a mobile home park
could have a travel trailer park in a mobile home space, if he had one
available. There was no prohibition in the ordinance as to this type
of arrangement, but it seemed somewhat harmless at the time to eliminate
these distinctions . Upon review however, we feel that if and when
travel trailer parks are erected in the City, it is advisable that
we have ready an ordinance pertaining to their regulation. For the
reason that to leave paragraph (a) intact would not affect the particular
problem that Mr. Crane submitted, and for the further reason that to
delete it would create considerable confussion and would require a
over-all amendment of the entire ordinance, we have taken the liberty
to preserve it as it was originally submitted.
If there are any questions with regard to the amendments or the preser-
vation of paragraph (a) as originally drawn, please advise.
