Cliff Franklin, Director of Planning and Traffic, explained that they could approve
a pre-fabricated type structure only if it meets the standards set out in .the building
code. Since they cannot properly inspect a mobile home they do not know if it would
meet the required standards, and he would recommend that the request be denied.

mobile home has plastic pipe instead of cast iron pipe. lie explained that at the
end of last week there was no mobile home park in Wichita Falls which has space for
a 10 x 60 foot trailer.
After much discussion, it was recommended by Alderman Schenk that this matter
Co
be studied until the next uncil meeting on September 2, and they requested that
Mr. Taylor be present at that time.
Moved by Alderman Wills that the meeting be adjourned.
Motion seconded by Alderman Schenk, and carried unanimously.
The Board of Aldermen adjourned at 4:20 P.M.
