In attendance were residents that live within the
Cortland Estates Mobile Home Park. Due to the problems
they are having there, they encouraged the Town Board
to make allowances to place Mobile Homes someplace
within the Town other than for farming tenant purposes.
Comments were heard from senior citizens that many
of them do not require the additional room, that a
double wide mobile home would provide. A single wide
mobil home is sufficient, and the cost is something that
they can deal with.
An explanation of the permanent masonry foundation
was explained. It was not the intent that it would
require a cellar. A crawl space beneath the mobil home
is sufficient.
Councilman O'Donnell made a motion, seconded by
Councilman Testa, to close the Public Hearing. All
voting aye, the motion was carried.
The Public Hearing was adjourned at 6:40 p.m.
