The foregoing bids were tabled for 48 hours as required by the City Charter and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation. Minutes Regular Council Meeting November 15, 1967 Page 2 Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing on the Proposed Amendment to the Text of the Zoning Ordinance relative to trailers and mobile homes, and explained the procedure to be followed. Mr. William Anderson, Director of Zoning and Planning, presented a summary of the proposed Text Amendment, and explained that the existing ordinance under which trailers and mobile homes are permitted to locate in the City was passed in 1937; stated that times and conditions have changed so that it has become obsolete and very difficult to use the provisions. He stated that the proposed amend- ment is an outgrowth of study by his Staff and the Area Development Committee; stated that the ADC had appointed a special committee on zoning composed of some twenty citizens representative of a wide variety of interests in the City, and that this group had studied the proposal of the ADC and asked for the cooperation of the City's Public Works Department, the Legal Department, Zoning and Planning Staff, and Mobile Homes Association; that they then prepared an ordinance which met with what they felt covered all the problems and requirements for mobile homes and trailer courts; that the ordinance was submitted and considered at a public hearing before the Zoning and Planning Commission. Mr. Anderson explained the text amendment in detail and stated the objectives of the Staff for the proposed amendment. He pointed out the great number of trailer and mobile homes in the United States, and stated that the projected number in the next year would be approximately seven and one- half million, recognized the need for specially designated areas for these homes; described the two types of trailers as being mobile homes and travel trailers; described mobile home or trailer subdivisions and mobile home park or trailer parks. Mr. Anderson stated that the Staff had recommended that mobile homes or trailers not be permitted to locate anywhere in the City on an individual basis, and that mobile homes existing under Special Use Permits in areas not designated as mobile home subdivisions be phased out as their permits expire, and that this was the recommendation of the Area Development Committee. He stated that the amend- ment adopted by the Zoning and Planning Commission was to the effect that the Zoning and Planning Commission be authorized to grant a Special Use Permit to locate an individual trailer or mobile home on a single lot after notice and public hearing on an application for such permit, with no time limit. (Designated as Section 25-6 of the Proposed Amendment.) Mr. Anderson further pointed out that the minimum lot area in a mobile home subdivision shall be 4,500 square feet, except where a subdivision is a cluster development, in which case, the lot size may be reduced to 3,000 square feet, provided that minimum yard requirements are met and there is a minimum of 1,500 square feet per lot of common openspace. Minutes Regular Council Meeting November 15, 1967 Page 3 Mayor Blackmon stated he would first hear from those in the audience who wished to question Mr. Anderson as to specific information on the Proposed Amendment. Mr. Albert Ahrens inquired if there was a distinction in mobile homes parked on the property of private residences and not in use, and if passage of the proposed ordinance would affect this classifica- tion, to which Mr. Anderson stated it is his understanding that travel trailers or mobile homes may be stored at the residence if the mobile home or travel trailer is not occupied, and that the proposed amend- ment will not effect a change. Mr. W. A. Holman, local mobile home owner, asked what would be the classification of a "cluster". Mr. Anderson explained that the "cluster" classification is where a number of trailers share a common yard. Mr. Bob Gulley, President of the State Mobile Homes Association, appeared and explained that if the trailer is not connected to a utility facility, it would not be defined as a mobile home or travel trailer under the definition of the Proposed Ordinance. Mr. Gulley stated he is interested to the extent that he wants to be fully informed as to the content of the ordinance. Mrs. George Jackson inquired as to what would be classified as nonconforming uses and if they will be required to move after the expiration of the Special Permit. Mr. Anderson explained that if the amendment is passed as recommended by the Zoning and Planning Commission, there will be no time limit if granted a Special Use Permit to locate a trailer or mobile home on a single lot. Mrs. Leo Harlin asked if trailers will be classified as "shotgun" houses if the wheels are removed, and Mr. Larry Wenger stated that mobile homes erected on permanent foundations could not be classi- fied as single family residences because in most instances they could not comply with the requirements of the Building Code pertaining to single family residences. Mr. Herb Massie, owner of Corpus Christi Mobile Homes, suggested that diagrams of locations of mobile homes be furnished as a matter of information and convenience to mobile home owners. Mr. Anderson stated that mobile homes are entitled to locations equally as good as any other residential area, and that this is one of the objectives of the proposed ordinance. Mr. George Staves stated there are six trailers located on June Street covering one full block, and suggested that this street and other similar streets, be designated as mobile home parks or sub- divisions. He further stated the residents on June Street are not dissatisfied with the trailers as they exist in this area. Mr. Anderson stated that this particular area has been considered as a mobile home subdivision. Minutes Regular Council Meeting November 15, 1967 Page 4 Mr. Gulley asked about the requirement that a mobile home park shall be surrounded by a land- scaped strip of open space 30 feet wide along the street frontage with an arterial highway and 15 feet wide along all other lot lines or street frontage, and asked what that 15 feat could be used for. Mr. Anderson stated it would be used for open space, yards and parking, but no structures. Mrs. Myrtle McAlpine stated it was not clear to her as to what constituted a mobile home, if located on permanent foundations, erected on concrete blocks, would it be classified as a mobile home? Mr. Anderson explained that if erected on a permanent foundation it would become a single family residence and could not comply with the Building Code, and would not be allowed. Mrs. Pat Duaine, President of Rehabilitation Association, inquired if the proposed amendment would permit structures to be•built alongside of the mobile home. Mrs. Duaine stated that there are a lot of small odd shaped lots which would be suitable for mobile homes, but stated she would be in favor of the Zoning and Planning Commission making permits hard to obtain. Mr. Anderson stated that accessory buildings would be allowed in designated subdivisions or designated mobile home parks. The question was raised as to what would be the case of mobile homes in areas which were out- side the City limits before annexation. Mr. Anderson stated that they are now nonconforming and will remain nonconforming if the ordinance is approved. Mrs. Marion Brown, a mobile home owner on June Street, stated that they bought their property in 1961, obtained a permit and moved a mobile home onto it in 1964, and asked if they would have to move the trailer off. Mr. Anderson stated that there probably would be no problem on June Street, that they would be nonconforming uses. Mr. Dalbert Orr, 11025 Annaville Rood, stated that on the five or six lots adjoining his property, there has never been anything but trailers; stated that they improved the lots which cost large sums of money on the premise that they would be able to extend their two-year permits. Mayor Blackmon stated they should not have been told they were getting permanent permits, and that these questions are policy questions and cannot be answered at this time. Mr. Harold Carr, appeared in support of the proposed amendment, stated that he had served on the Area Development Committee, and endorsed the amendment with the exception of Section 25-6, in which it is recommended that the Zoning and Planning Commission is authorized to grant a Special Minutes Regular Council Meeting November 15, 1967 Page 5 Use Permit to locate an individual trailer or mobile home on a single lot after notice and public hearing on an application for such permit, with no time limit. Mr. Carr stated that he was opposed to Section 25-6, as recommended by the Zoning and Planning Commission, for the reason that it will create a burden on the Commission which is already overburdened. He further stated that if Special Use Permits are authorized on single lots, it will detract from the mobile home subdivisions. Mayor Blackmon called for a show of hands of those in the audience who were in favor of the provisions of Section 25-6 as recommended by the Zoning and Planning Commission, and approximately 15 persons indicated they favored this recommendation. Mayor Blackmon called for a show of hands of those who were not in favor of the amendment as proposed by the Zoning and Planning Commission, and three persons indicated their objection. Mr. Ahrens stated that he objects to the provision that reads "The minimum width and/or depth of the mobile home park or subdivision shall be three hundred feet; and the minimum total area shall be five acres, including one-half the width of bordering streets", and stated he feels the require- ment should be reduced to two and one-half acres in deference to the smaller caliber businessman. Mrs. James C. Scott, President of OPUS, spoke in favor of the regulations, stating that she feels the needs of mobile home owners will be adequately met in the provisions as proposed. Mr. Chuck Stone, 410 Cape Henry, spoke in opposition to eliminating the single -lot provision, stating that Mr. Carr's statements are a discrimination against mobile home owners, and further stated that the right to apply for permits should not be arbitrarily cut off. Commissioner Jimenez stated he favors permitting all existing trailers to remain, but that regulations should be adopted to prevent single -lot trailers in the future. There was a general discussion among those in the audience as to the needs of mobile home owners; the number existing and increasing; the convenience they afford persons on small incomes and those who have no time for maintenance of larger homes; the convenience to persons who are uncertain as to the length of time they will be in the City; if the ordi nance will be read three times; when it will be in effect, and if it could be amended without another hearing. Mayor Blackmon stated that if the amendment is adopted as recommended the matter will be simplified both as to time and procedure. Minutes Regular Council Meeting November 15, 1967 Page 6 City Attorney Singer stated that the ordinance could be adopted as it is written, with certain deletions, but if it is materially changed, another public hearing would be necessary, and stated that it is his opinion that nothing would be gained by recessing the hearing. Motion by Bradley, seconded by Roberts and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Bradley, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the proposed amendment to the Text of the Zoning Ordinance regulating trailers and mobile homes, be tabled for further consideration. Mayor Blackmon called for the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Roberts, seconded by Bradley and passed that the City Manager's Reports be accepted, and that the recommendations and requests be approved and granted as follows: a.

Relative to the foregoing Item "m" in connection with the award of bid for Group Hospitalization and Insurance coverage for City Employees, Commissioner Jimenez questioned the additional $1 .00 per month basic employee cost, stating that it is his feeling that the lower paid employees will be required to carry more and more insurance in the future with the result that they will not be able to have adequate health protection. Commissioner Roberts stated he shared Commissioner Jimenez's concern in this matter. Mayor Blackmon explained that the employee is being asked to share the cost of additional benefits by paying an extra one dollar per month, and that the City, or taxpayer, is matching this extra amount. He further stated that Commissioners Roberts and Bradley appointed as a subcommittee, had been asked to obtain the names of other insurance authorities to aid the City in an advisory capacity with a group insurance plan for future needs.
