The Zoning Board spoke in favor of changing the current mobile home ordinance and requested the Town Board look into updating the ordinance on mobile homes. Mr. Wilson stated he and John Sikora are at tonight's meeting requesting the background and reasons behind the present mobile home ordinance restricting doublewide homes. At the Zoning Board meeting Code Enforcement Office, Bruce Weber, was reluctant to speak for the Town Board. He suggested bringing any questions of the ordinance to the Town Board. Councilman Testa explained one reason for the mobile home ordinance was concern for value depreciation of surrounding properties. Councilman O'Donnell referred to pressure from many town residents with past meetings. There was concerned with out of town people buying farmland and placing economy housing next to stick built homes. The Town Board was unsure how to make the ordinance fair for everyone. Area residents wanted the ordinance to preclude trailers and doublewides. The discussion continued concerning past meetings, comments and concerns from those in attendance from those meetings. Councilman Rocco commented. The Board appreciates and recognizes the changes in the quality in doublewide homes. More individuals are in need of this kind of housing. It is a difficult problem that is being dealt with everywhere. Councilman O'Donnell stated he attended a meeting sponsored by the State of New York. At that time they were to forward a copy of new requirements for the construction of doublewide homes. This has not been received. The discussion continued concerning construction and quality of pre -fabricated homes. Also discussed was bank financing for this type of housing. Attorney Folmer stated the Zoning Board has been in a quandary for a long time concerning this issue. He continued by referring to the town codebook concerning the definition change from mobile home to manufactured home. Attorney Folmer- spoke of a more recent request concerning placing a doublewide near McGraw. The Zoning Board of Appeals denied the variance due to -restraints of the ordinance. At that time the Zoning Board of Appeals suggested the Town Board consider an amendment to the ordinance. The Town Board at their next meeting discussed potential diminishing of property value, appearances, and whether limiting housing in an agriculture district, R-1 or R-2 district may be a discriminatory action. The Board did receive at that time a manual from the Association of Manufactured Homes indicating the changes to manufactured homes. No action was taken at that meeting. Attorney Folmer also stated the original ordinance was to prevent trailers not. doublewide homes. A discussion was held requesting the Planning Board to revisit the Mobile Home Ordinance with regards to the issue of location and construction of doublewide homes within the town. Attorney Folmer will provide information to the Planning Board concerning locality discrimination. Answering Mr. Wilson's inquiry into the Planning Board's Public Hearing process, Attorney Folmer explained the Planning Board might have an open discussion or hold a Public Hearing. If they recommend an amendment to the zoning ordinance, the Town Board is required to hold a .Public Hearing. The Planning Board has the expertise and responsibility to make a recommendation to the Town Board. This may be an appropriate time for the Planning Board to look at this ordinance as they are undertaking an overall plan for the town in general. It was decided to notify the Planning Board.
