The request is for rezoning from R-20 to R/A(CUD) in order to expand an existing mobile home park. This park covers approximately five acres, and was grandfathered in when the area was up- graded to R-20 in 1984. The area was rezoned to R-20 upon a petition of approximately 100 people. On August 5, 1987, the planning board recommended approval of the change from R-20 to R/A(CUD) so that the Adkins could increase their mobile home park to fifteen units. Mr. Lundy reported that the staff frlt it was inappronriate to change to zoning to R/A(CUD) because the planning board did not have all the information.

Eight years ago it began to take more time to attend the park, and Mr. Adkins stopped working at public work and is !corking full time maintaining the mobile home park grounds, etc. The Adkins purchased a twelfth mobile home, and a building permit was refused. They were not aware that they could not put another mobile home in the park.
