PAGE 8 ITEM NO. 6 - PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, THE HOUSING CODE, BY CREATING AN EXEMPTION FROM THE MINIMUM ROOM SIZE FOR THE SECOND BEDROOM OF A TWO-BEDROOM MOBILE HOME; AND BY AMENDING THE SECTION REQUIRING APPROVED GARBAGE STORAGE CONTAINERS BY REQUIRING THAT SAID CONTAINERS BE STORED ON THE PREMISES SERVED BUT NOT IN THE FRONT YARD, THE REQUIRED SIDE YARD OR A PARKING SPACE. Action: ITEM NO. 7 - Comment: The Housing Commission requested a change in the minimum roam size requirement for two (2) bedroom mobile homes. Many older two-bedroom mobile homes have one bedroom meeting the required 70 square feet of floor area, but have a second bedroom with less than 70 square feet of floor area. By creating the exemption, owners or tenants would not require a variance in order to use the bedroom. The Housing Commission voted unanimously to support this code change. The amendment requiring the housing inspectors to police the placement of garbage storage containers was developed at the request .of the City Council. The Housing Commission unanimously voted to not support this amendment. Among the concerns raised by the ommission were the practicality of enforcement and the increased possibility of variance requests. See minutes of the Housing Commission meeting of March 7, 1984.
