PUBLIC HEARING - MINIMIIM LOT SIZE, ZONING CLASSIFICATION FOR MOBILE HOME PARKS AND LOCATION OF ON_- SITE SEWER. SYSTEMS Dick Schieffer opened the hearing with an explanation of the reason for the proposed Lot change from 1 acre to 2i acres that much of the land is not well suited for soil absorption. Julia Porter stated that 2i acres is not sufficient if it is next to a lake. It may meet the 7,000 Sq. Ft. requirement, but it might pollute lakes or cause flooding. She recommends a 5 acre minimum. Jerry Dykhoff said he felt 2i acres is sufficient with 7,000 Sq. Ft. of soil suitable for absorption. He also recommends On -Site Sewer Inspection. Jim Lane thought 2i acres is not sufficient. He also asked the council to be polled as to their opinions. Arthur Theis - originally thought 3 acres, but decided to wait for next meeting to give an opinion. Robert Franklin and Thomas Stevens both thought 2i acres is sufficient. Wayne Neddermeyer said less than 2i acres, but would go along with the 22 acres. Anne Dorweiler presented the following letter from Ray Vignola - Planner.
