PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL - Carol Burge, 1900 I~. Quinn, has appealed a Planning
and Zoning Commission ruling denying the variance request to allow her to
place a mobile home on the acreage she owns at 202 Briscoe. The home of
Ms. Burge burned down several months ago.
Bill Henry told council he was the father of Carol Burge, that he favored
planning and zoning but trailers are being well built and very attractive,
that he thinks the new trend is to allow trailers in areas.
Ray Coles, 217 Briscoe said the present house is an eye sore and if the
trailer home were put on a foundation it would be an improvement over the
burned out house, however, he would not want to see a trailer park developed
in the area.
Mr. Dale Willford, 210 Briscoe, voiced the same opinion as Mr. Coles, and
added that he would not desire the placement of a single wide mobile home.
Councilman Kinghorn said he felt the city should be consistent in their
actions, the city has set guidelines in wisdom and thought for the growth
of the city, and have not allowed trailers in residential zones.
Councilman Romriell asked Ms. Burge if she considered her request a hardship
case. Ms Burge said that she definitely felt the burning of her home to be
a hardship.
Councilman Quick said that trailer homes in residential areas have a tendency
to depreciate the value of the surrounding property.
Councilman Romriell told Ms. Burge if the trailer was allowed at all, she
would have to prove a hardship.
Mayor Cotant told Ms. Burge the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council
have spen~ the past one and one-half years holding hearings on comprehensive
plan, zoning and subdivision ordinances and feel the city must adhere to the
plans and ordinances for orderly development of city and that residents of
the city expect the council to uphold the zones for their protection.

PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL cont'd - Councilman Fullmer noted it is important to
review the fact that neighbors are not basically objecting to this mobile
home, however would object to other type mobile homes, and said council
has one of three choices 1) uphold the Planning and Zoning ruling, 2}table
for further consideration, 3) reverse the ruling of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
After considerable discussion, Councilman Quick moved to affirm the Planning
and Zoning decision and ruling to deny the variance request to allow Carol
Burge to place a mobile home on her property at 202 Briscoe, which is zoned
multiple-family residential livestock (R-3L). Councilman Romriell seconded
motion with an unanimous vote in favor.
Ms. Burge said she would appeal the decision.

may ask for reconsideration of matter by asking city clerk to put the matter
again on the agenda.
