Voting no: None. <br /> <br />(2]TIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Clark Wilson, 9012 175th Lane N.W., states he has lived in the <br />City since 1971, he likes his neighborhood, however, is upset <br />due to the construction of a modular home by Carson Builders..- <br />This modular building reminds him of an army barracks. This is <br />a very nice area and he is wondering if Council is going to <br />permit more of these types of homes to come into the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that Carson homes had presented the home <br />plan proposal to the Council approximately one month ago and <br />that an agreement was made with Carson homes regarding a <br />deadline for the completion of the home and that he had to <br />build a garage. The bu~Jding official inspected and approved <br />the home as meeting the State Codes. The house has a market <br />value in the $50,000 bracket. He noted that there are houses <br />w~thin a block of this area with homes of the same type of <br />construction. It has a larger floor area than most of the <br />homes in that area. <br /> <br />A resident at 8600 176th Avenue asked what the code is in <br />the C2ty and that she was mortified to see this type of house <br />go into her area but that the fact that a garage is being <br />added to it does appease her someWhat. <br /> <br />I,arry Ferber, 17501 Baugh Street asked about the code on trailer <br />homes. <br /> <br />Bu21ding Official Berg reported that mobile homes are not allowed <br />except in mobile home parks, however, modular homes are acceptable. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec reported that the State Senate may create a new <br />law allowing lower priced, smaller sizedhousing. But, at this <br />time, any modular homes have to be approved by the Council. <br />Council looks at the area where the house is proposed to be <br />located and the design of the house. He said the City Council <br />would like to see homes with garages because outside storage is <br />a problem and a hindrance. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox commented that the city has had strong ordinances <br />for quite some time to keep the quality of the housing above <br />average and if the modular homes meet that State code requirements <br />there is really nothing that the City can do to prohibit them. <br /> <br />Regular Council Meeting <br />November 13, 1979 <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
