INDUSTRIAL ZONING IN THE FAR FUTURE. IT COULD BE THAT THESE MOBILE HOMES CAN NO LONGER BE KEPT IN THIS AREA THAT .INDUSTRY WILL -PUSH THEM OUT. IT MIGHT ALSO BE WE HAVE TOO MUCH INDUSTRIAL IN THE COUNTY. THERE ARE s MOBILE HOMES ALREADY ON 1/2 THIS PROPERTY AND 1/2 OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTY. COMMISSIONER-WODTKE STATED THAT HE CAN SEE VERY GOOD PROS AND CONS AND THIS REQUEST IS SOMETHING WE ARE GOING TO GET INVOLVED WITH BECAUSE OF EN— VIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND CONTROLS THAT WILL BE IMPOSED, THAT WILL REQUIRE GETTING INTO SEWER SYSTEMS AND POSSIBLY THERE WILL BE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS; HE COULD UNDERSTAND THAT PROBLEM, BUT H4. CAN ALSO LOOK AT THAT AREA AND SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF THIS REZONING IS APPROVED. IT WILL TAKE AN AREA SET ASIDE AS A DESIROUS INDUSTRIAL AREA AND THIS PROPOSED REZONING WOULD PRETTY WELL DO AWAY WITH THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE AND FOR THIS REASON HE IS OPPOSED TO IT. HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT HEALTH PROPLEMS AND THAT THE AREA SHOULD BE ON A SEWER SYSTEM. HE PUTS RESPECT IN THE ACTUAL LAND USE REPORT AS FAR AS ENFORCEMENT, BUT POSSIBLY IT WAS A BAD DECISION TO GO IN THAT AREA AND PUT IT IN AN INDUSTRIAL ZONE WHEN IT WAS PREDOMINATELY A MOBILE.HOME AND RESIDENTIAL AREA. COMMISSIONER MASSEY ASKED HOW MANY MOBILE HOME PARKS OF THIS SIZE, DO WE HAVE IN THE COUNTY. MR. WALKER STATED THAT, AT A ROUGH GUESS HE WOULD SAY APPROXIMATELY 28 TO 30 SIMILAR PARKS IN THE COUNTY. COMMISSIONER MASSEY STATED THAT THESE PARKS AND LACK OF SEWER SYSTEMS- . t ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO THEMSELVES AT THIS TIME, BUT IF THEY WERE TO BECOME. LARGER THEY COULD BECOME DANGEROUS. LARGE SEWER SYSTEMS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE BEST THING FOR AN AREA EITHER, BUT RATHER THAN HAVE A BUNCH OF THESE SMALL PARKS SPRING UP THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, WHICH IS THE VERY THING WE ARE TRYING TO CONTROL HE WOULD HAVE TO OPPOSE THIS REZONING. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE IS CONCERNED THAT THE AREA WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE RESIDENTIAL, WITH THE REZONING OF NORTH GIFFORD ROAD AREA WE STILL HAVE A HODGE—PODGE OF ZONING...:WHEN THE RESIDENTS OF THIS AREA REQUESTED THAT IT REMAIN IN M-1 — RESTRICTED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, WE:CONSIDERED LEAVING IT BECAUSE IT WAS THE START OF GETTING THE ENTIRE --AREA IN ONE CLASSIFICATION WHERE THE LAND USE. PATTERN IN THAT AREA WOULD EVENTUALLY WORK ITSELF OUT, BUT NOW, IN CONSIDERATION OF THIS REZONING REQUEST, WE ARE GOING BACK THE OTHER WAY BY SAYING WE ARE GOING TO CREATE STILL ANOTHER PARK: SO RATHER THAN CLEANING IT UP WE ARE CREATING A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN WE HAVE NOW, COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED WITH CHAIRMAN SIEBERT'S STATEMENT. -25- FEB 18 1976 85
