total area of Hickman and ~/IcConnell Sub-Division deny the development
of any thing other than residential it also prohibited trailer s
within the Sub-Division. The Pastor stated that he had talked with

objection and went on further to state that he was willing to take
t h e risk of futur•e objectl ons aP:Lslng. Mr. f··1arvin Tate ~ a member

August 6, 1968, with the following persons attending: T.P. White,
Chairman, Bill Lehman, Gregg VJoods, Doug \<Jil k inson, Jim Pace J John
Harrington, and Daisy Olson.
The first item of business wa s the reconslderation of the requast from
Chester Fritts to allow trailer pa:ck permit on certain property on
S outh Road. It vvas the recorninendation of the Sub-Committee previously
appointed that the request be denied for the reasons that r.1r. Fritts
was attempting to overd~velop the land ln question; that it was a
physical impossibility to locate the number of trailers desired by
him on that particular piece of property; that a two way street con-
tained within his own land should be proposed. Other members stated
that they f~lt no particular opposition to trailers in this particular
area but it finds that a properly developed trailer park wo~ld b e an
improvement.
Jim Pace moved that the proposed plan as submitted by Chester Fritts
be rejected. Doug 1:Jj_lkinson seconded the motion and all members of
the Commission voted in favor of the same. I t was the further opinion
of those members present that if proper plans, allovdng sufficient
open space, properly developing the street, and other utilit i es in this

all li.kelyhood recommend that a perm:i_t be issued.
The Chairman presented a dravring showing a l ternate proposals for
the development of South James street for the vie1ving by the members.
It was further suggested by the Chairman that if any members had any
possibiL'lty of contacting r:1r. Wilcox to acquire h:Ls right of vvay that
this would be the better plan for the area in question .
A request from Tate Taylor to approve a trai.l er park vms submitted by
the Chairman. Without proper measurements or detailed plans for the
use of this land it was suggested by the Chairman that the developer
clarify specificat:i.ons before the Commission take any action thereon.
Doug Hilkinson so moved vrith sEicond by Jim pace and all members voted
in favor of the same.
A proposal by Dupree Company requesting Mobile Home P~rk permit for
land sutuated at the corner of Peach and King Streets in M. J. Henry
estate addition was prevented. It was the concensus of all members
present that this proposal would not in any way be detrimental to
the area in question, but Nould in facts improve the area. Nr. v.J:i.lkimoon
stated that there was a need for better rentals in that area and such
proposal probably would satisfy this need. The lay-out of the engineer
was studied by all members and found to comply vrith a ll necessities for
a trailer park. Upon motion by J:tm Pace it was recommended by the
Council issue a 5 year permit for Mobile Home Park on the land in
question. Bill Lehman seconded the motion and all members voted :tn
favor of the same.
