PARK
Mac Collins, owner, was present. He stated that after he left the last meeting when his
application was denied, he began researching moving the mobile home. Every mover he
contacted refused to move the trailer due to the fact that the warranty on the mobile home would
be voided. He then contacted the dealer. The dealer verified that this was true.
Board Member Marvin Elam made a motion, seconded by Board Member Gil Boyles to approve
V97-11.
(2)
Board Member Calvin Collier raised the question of what would happen if the current resident
moved. He feels that the variance will apply to the property address and not the mobile home
at that property address; therefore, the variance would apply to anyone who moved in.
Board Member Marvin Elam made an amended motion that V97-11 pertain only to the
manufactured home presently at 3429 E. Magnolia Elms, Lot 3, Block 1, Magnolia Place Mobile
Home Park, seconded by Vice Chairman Tony Vento.
Motion passed 5-0.
DISCUSSION ITEM
Chief Building Official Don E. Guynes made a suggestion to reduce variance meetings back to
once a month (unless an absolute hardship) to try and eliminate the number of variances being
applied for. Chairman John Lejsal request that packets be delivered to members one week before
meetings so members could have more time to go out and view the property locations.
ADJOURNMENT
Chairman John Lejsal made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Vice-Chairman Tony Vento. The
meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
