Mr. McClinton appointed a committee to study the proposed curb -cut ordinance as follows: Ernest Jacks, Helen Edmiston, Byron Boyd, Dr. James Mashburn, and Harold Lieberenz. Under other business, Harold Lieberenz explained to the Planning Commission that he has been faced with a number of requests to place mobile homes on individual lots or property outside mobile home parks. He had asked one person to write a letter to the Planning Commission. Mr. Lieberenz explained that due to the definition of single-family dwelling in the zoning ordinance, he has interpreted this as excluding mobile homes outside mobile home parks. He gave a history of past experiences along this line. The term "prefabricated" structure was discussed. Mr. Lieberenz felt there might be two ways to have mobile home units meet the building code: (1) Have people to make units have them inspected and certify that they meet the building code, or (2) Get the Southern Standard Building Code Committee to label them as meeting the code. Wesley Howe suggested the Staff Consultant, Larry Wood, study the regulations pertaining to mobile homes, both in and out of mobile home parks, and make some recommendations. Mr. McClinton cautioned Mr. Wood to try to carry out the intent of the Planning Commission when they worked on these regulations. Mr. Wood expressed concern about people trying to sell lots in a mobile home park. Al Donaubauer stated the news of the public hearing on the University Campus Plan came as a surprise to certain people at the University. He recommended asking Dr. Mullins or another appropriate official to attend the hearing. He also recommended explaining the situation directly to Dr. Mullins, CURB -CUT ORDINANCE Mr. Jacks noted that on the October 20 minutes Gene Billingsley should have been spelled Gene Billingslea.
