Commissioner Russ Selemon concurred. Commissioner Todd locco stated that he has no doubt that the project would be nice. He added that the property is already zoned R-2 and should remain as such. He also stated that there was no mention of a traffic analysis for this project. He explained that he would be concerned with the additional traffic that the project would add to Hatfield Road. Vice-Chairperson Donald Glenn stated that it is not good planning to change to a more dense zoning classification because of the traffic and drainage issues. Chairperson Charles Viktorin explained that based on the existing property that the owner operates, he feels that this would be a high quality project. He explained people should not be denied a place to live because it is not of higher value. He added that some people expressed concern about the tax base of a mobile home park, however, a normal home does not pay for itself either and a better mix of zoning diversity would solve this problem.
