Chairman Jason Gossen called the meeting to order.
A motion was offered by Blane Faulk and seconded by Betty Pousson to approve the minutes of the December 14, 2004 regular meeting. Motion carried.
The Commission continued the review of David’s Mobile Home Estates. Questions were raised about the setback requirements. It was obvious that only small units would fit in the designed spaces. Karl Aucoin received the preliminary plans and made comments to the developing engineer. David Bertrand summarized his plan for the placement of the trailers. The distribution of utilities were discussed relative to the location of existing pipelines. Aucoin indicated that the plans conform to the requirements of the ordinance but the developer would be limited as to what he can do with the lots. Reference was made to other trailer park requirements.
A motion was offered by Mary Richard and seconded by Randall Boutte to approve the final plans for David’s Mobile Home Estates located on Standard Mill Road subject to the addition of a signature block and payment of fees. Motion carried.
Mr. Marty Welch submitted a written appeal to the decision finding the property sold along Lovell Road in violation of the Subdivision Regulations. In defense of his appeal, Mr. Welch noted:
1. Only four lots were actually sold for residential use.
2. 2 lots were sold from a separate acquisition.
3. Four lots constituted an existing homestead.
4. 3 lots were sold for agricultural purposes
5. One tract was sold as farm land with an agricultural base.
6. One sale created a large 15 acre tract.
A motion was offered by Blane Faulk and seconded by Betty Pousson to dismiss the violation levied on the development by Marty Welch along Lovell Road in that only four lots were divided for residential use and the other sales did not apply to the ordinance. Motion carried.
Charles Andrus noted that without a comprehensive explanation, it would seem obvious the Welch matter would be a violation.
The next meeting was scheduled for, February 15, 2005.
Due to no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
