Public Hearing, Appeal to Conditional Use Permit, Lakewood Mobile Homes - At the meeting of March 9, 1970, this hearing was continued to May 11 to give owners time to comply with requirements of screening ~nd turn:eaDounds. The Building Inspector's report was distributed to the Council. Screen- ing is still inadequate, Turn-arounds have been installed to the satisfaction of the Engineering Department with the exception of one, which will be paved when the weather is suitable. There are still cabana canopies which are not in compliance with the code, and problems with the swimming pool not being built in accordance with approved plans. I I: ( ;1 !I II II I, il II il :! ii Mr. Gordon Barron, 1540 Hughes, said he had heard the report, and wanted the non-compliances taken care of. In answer to Dr. Purdy's question, the Planning Director said mobile homes have been occupying the park since last spring. Mrs. Hayward felt there was no reason why citizens of the Community should have to keep coming to the Council to get compliance with agreements reached with the City. Mr. Larry Loeber said he represented one of the owners of Lakewood Park, and said he had a statement from property owners saying the screening of the park was all right. In answer to Councilman Mohr, Mr. Loeber said they were in the process of replacing those trees which have died. The Assistant City Attorney said the Council, after reviewing the facts, may revoke the conditional use permit. If the council takes no action, the permit will continue in existence. In reply to Dr. Purdy's question, Mr. Combs said the revocation would technically be immediate, but that the law would require allowance of a reasonable time for people living there to vacate the premises. In answer,to Mr. Mohr, Mr. Combs said the property owner could close the mobile home park, or attempt to get another use compatible with the zoning, or apply for a conditional use permit from the Planning Commission. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward that the Conditional Use Permit for Lakewood Mobile Home Park be revoked for non-compliance with specifications set forth in that Conditional Use Permit. Councilman Mohr asked to make it perfectly clear that sixty days ago at the Council meeting the Council had urged compliance with the requirement for a buffer. Deep concern was expressed for neighbors. Mr. Loeber explained that the turn-arounds have been constructed to the satisfaction of the Traffic Engineer, and that they would like to put in a fence for buffering. He explained difficulty in obtaining 5 foot trees and keeping them healthy. In answer to Mrs. Hayward, the Planning Director said the Planning Commission had requested tree 5/11/70 - 2 ~
