Hearing on the annexation of the Gene Palmer property presently the Hud Community Trailer Park. Mr. Gene Palmer gave his presentation and presented his Platt for the trailer court he plans to put in at this location. The Platt shows larger spaces than the present court. There would be spaces for approximately"112 trailer homes. He presented a restrictive covenent which he has adopted and assured the people that he would enforce these covenents. (Copies of these are on file in City Hall). Darwin Wolford read a letter written by Charles Frost protesting the location of a trailer court at the HUD court site. He feels that this should be prime $-1 property and should be developed only as such. (letter on file). Mr. Wolford then read a letter presented by himself also protesting a trailer court in that location. He doesn't want his view ruined by having to look down on a trailer court. He feels it should be strictly an R-1 zone. Mr. Robert Lee read his letter protesting the trailer court at this location. This site being close to schools, hospitals, parks, and churches should be R-1 zone. (letter on file.) The question was asked if the City could refuse to supply water and sewer service to the trailer park if it was not annexed to the City. Gene Palmer stated that he had checked with attorneys on this subject and was assured that the City having given service for a period of time, could not stop those services. Mayor Porter also stated that the sewer lift station which was put in by HUD would have to be purchased by the City, should the city wish to withhold services; this would be very costly. Councilman Barton Jensen stated that we now furnish water and sewer service to people living outside the city limits at a slightly higher cost. We could not refuse services to some while providing them for others. Barton Jensen stated that the purpose of this joint meeting of City Council and the plann- ing board was to get the recommendation of the planning board. The City will then make their decision. Ed Strobel expressed his opposition to a trailer court in this area. Chuck Yates stated that he had lived in Los Vegas where there were beautiful Mobile Home Parks and they in no way ruined the view of the residences near by. In fact the residential subdivisions and mobile home parks were side by side in perfect harmony. Mr. Mc Ginnis stated that homes will develop around the court with no problems. Bill Wagner would like to see the sourt developed and taken care of in the way that Mr. Palmer plans to. There is a need for a good trailer home park. We people living in trailer houses or mobile homes have as much pride in our homes as you do. Dell Barney_ advised that all these people keep saying this is R-1 property when it is not for the simple reason it is surrounded by cow pasture and will continue to as that property d3 is not for sale. Express's his approval of the mobile home park. Bill Moss believes trailers bring in a transient type which they don't want. He doesn't want to live by them. Juanita Bruce lives in a trailer house because she lost everything in the flood. She was very upset to think people looked down on her becuase of it. Terry Brunson expressed his anger that people aren't allowed to live in the kind of home they can afford. Everyone can't affr>rd big homes on the hill. Jim Morris is not opposed to the court. Gwen Lee advises that there is such a hazardous road conditon there that the court shouldn't be left there. It was pointed out that the hazardous rdad condition would be there regardless of whether their were trailer homes or homes ire there. Donna Sanford stated that there is already an overcrowded problem with the Adams school now and that court would increase that problem. Councilman Warren Porter stated that it was not the job of the city council to prohibit children; there will be an increase in children there whether they build homes in that area or have a mobile home park. Mayor Porter reported that a road from Barney Corner directly to North 2nd East is being planned. This would help alleviate the traffic hazard. Robert Swartz opposed. Gordon Thatcher advised that homes in Rexburg are too high for young people just starting out or old people. We can't refuse to let people live in Rexburg because they can't afford $65,000 homes. Robert DaBell apposed. Mayor Porter reported that the purpose for the hearing was to find out the feelings of the neighbors. The planning board must now make their decision and report to the City Council. The council will then make their decision. The hearing adjourned 10:30 P.
