Roy Dudark, Director of Planning and Community Development,

Bob Gile, 838 Fairdale Road, gave the Commissioners handouts and
discussed financing for manufactured homes. He said he could build a 14' x 50'
house on the lot now, and that he is willing to reduce the number of units to 6
with the other requirements in the PDD.
Rose Base, 1205 North Third, presented a scale model of the proposed
PDD development.
John Samples, President of Kenbuilt, Inc., Osage City, Kansas,
reviewed the differences in manufactured homes, UBC modular homes and
pre -site construction homes. He expressed concern that the City Commission is
opening pandora's box in that if one builder is allowed to place these homes,
others would expect to do the same thing.
Cornell Hutton, 1329 North Front, presented pictures of a dilapidated
2 year old manufactured home. Fie asked the City Commission not to allow
structures which vary from city standards by 75% and do not meet UBC or NEC
standards. He said the neighbors do not want substandard housing in the

the area.
Daniel J. Huell, President of Kansas Mobile Homes and Country Oaks
Development said financing manufactured homes in the new Country Oaks area
has been very difficult.
Mrs. Brotherton, 420 East Otis, objected to manufactured homes being
allowed in this area when she was not allowed to place one on her lot.
James Price, 326 South Oakdale, said he lived in a mobile home for 20
years and sold it for nearly as much as the purchase price.
Joyce Gile, D & B Investments, agreed to reducing the number of
units from 7 to 6. She discussed the financing available for manufactured units
and said they can be financed with 5% down, the same as other housing.
Steve Johnson, 1017 North Third, said he lives in a 1954 12 x 50'
mobile home and you can't find one flaw in it. He said it is not easy to insure.
He said if the City Commission allows this development, there will be
manufactured homes from Pacific to Hamilton.
Harold Larson, land owner in the north end, said there are 43 vacant
lots, not including the Gile lots. There are 169 residents. If manufactured
homes are allowed in this development, it would be spot zoning. If the City
Commission decides it is a good idea, it should be a good idea for any area in
tow n.
