is to be an arterial street, the Zoning Ordinance provides that there be buffering by fences, berms or walls, etc., 6' in height, and those who live in this vicinity are very interested in this requirement. The property in question is not on the property of the owner of Fairlane Harbour; it is County property, and the City/County line is right there. Mr. Baker stated that his question is where to they go to find out about this buffer and whose responsibility it is to construct it. Administrator Wright commented that Fairlane Harbour is unique and there is a right-of-way dispute right now. He stated that we had planned on putting some buffering in and have had some discussions with Mr. Stawara, owner of Fairlane Harbour. He noted that it is possible that Mr. Baker's mobile home is on county right-of-way and he felt Mr. Baker should discuss this either with him or the County Engineer. Attorney Brandenburg felt that the more specific answer to Mr. Baker's question is that this requirement would not be applicable to Mr. Baker; it only applies to new mobile home parks. The county would be responsible for building the road and making arrangements with the land owners for appropriate buffering, if it is needed. He advised Mr. Baker to talk to the Public Works Director. Commissioner Scurlock believed those homes are on county right-of-way, but he did not believe it is the county's intent to displace a lot of people and felt that we will try to work with the owners to work this out. Peter Robinson, developer of Laurel Homes, had a problem with the minimum square footage requirements in RS -6 and RT -6 of 750 sq. ft. while mobile homes only require a minimum of 550 sq. ft. He felt this would prevent builders from competing against mobile homes on an equal basis and would result in pricing a lot of people out of the market and giving them only the choice of mobile homes. 29 JAN 16 1985 noK. 591 „i,ef 483
