for the request, but due to time constraints, others had not been contacted. Harper said there were
several large farms and single-family homes in the area. He said the people signing the petition
wanted their neighborhood to remain that way.
Attorney William Crosswhite, said he represented a landowner with seven lots. He said his
client desired to place mobile homes on the property. Crosswhite said one mobile home was already
at the site. He said he had appeared before the planning board and requested to be "grandfathered"
since one mobile home was already situated. Mr. Crosswhite said the plat had been recorded;
however, there were some problems in obtaining the permits. He asked for his client's property
