Feet. and either 12 x 70 oar 14 x 60 both of which total vp to 840 sq. ft. Appar8ntly when the ordinance was xfra tten 'those were the etandard type mobile homes, whi.ch.iz no longer the ease. You can get a mobile home, WhJCh we`i reaa.iaed before that, and it' wasn't a week later and Gary got a biallding permit for a mobile home that is 24 x 40 which comes out to 1100 and some odd sq. ft.. So we've always enforced. bath sides the restriction, not only the minimum. G. Wood: No- that's not true Jack, No, I never did. Ho, as long as they made the 8�+0 sq. ft.. 1 took those as 'being e�iamples of nothing less and I've I proa�.bly 50 permits for double wide mobile homes, J,Fitzgerald: Where they didn't sake the length or width? We have a problem wi th the width. Theres certainly got to be a 12 or many 10 ft. out there thats ' long. L.ovocool: If its gat the square footage what,s the problem. G.Wood: That isn't the way I read it. J.Fitzgerald: Because tho Mobile Home Ordinance says it-can't be less than 12 x 70 or 14x 65, D.Sovocool: It says "and" in there. G.Wood: so, since then the Planning Board met last Thursday.night and I took a draft of a correction and some modi icata f on to that and asked them to consider it, D.G`uvrmings: The only thing that I thought was dif ei�ent about that is I thought the minimum had to be life 840 sq. ft. but that had to be the main trailer itself and did not include an add even though it was a factoxy add 6n, but I Temember his saying the other night, the f"a.ctoxy add on can be part of that now, G.Wood: Teats another question, a subsidiary question. The first question is -He has brought me up short his terminology which means all these bui.ldi,.ng penrdits I've issued. for daublewide are, in fact, erroneous or whatever, because they have the required area but they don't meet either one of those two dinLensians. I presume we're not going to do anything about that, I don't know. I did take it to the Planning Board and said look it, we need to revise this re+ordin so it oove�:s what I think, what you intended, which was minimum square footage. Then, to address the secand question, it has always been my understanding that 844) sq.ft. could be met with any kind of manufactured unit. I don't frankly read that in the law, personally, but that's the way I was told it was intended to be and that's the way I've been trying to enforce it-, until this last situation carne along. Well, we still try to enforce it that way and this ouyTs pushing the case that's all. So I also asked them to con Slder just exactly how they wanted to address that. Do you allow a home built. addition.,. or do you not? and please include that in the xeconUnenda'tions. And teen there were two other things that we, more housekeeping pe haps than anything else. One is every mobile home shall be inspected every three ,years and a certificate of occupancy issued -- that has not been done. The other war a technical thing but it calls for isl8uing a certificate of occupancy for the inata.11a.tion of a mobile honLe on a single lot where the warding ought to be for a building permit so I made a, suggestion for a change- thereq B ad and hir. Wood discussed three year inspection. Consensus was that that was an invasion of privacy. There being no further business, ft.
