Planning Commission Minutes August 31, 1982 Page Four Commissioner Kreuser inquired that if a double wide is moved in, do they have to meet the City1s regulations regarding building ordinances? Commissioner Kreuser felt that if we do allow them, they should also have to conform to the same build- ing code as a home does.
