Rick Breezee further indicated that the City can put in the ordinance the Statutes that the Building Code falls under. There is a small portion that deals with mobile homes, but these sections do not pertain to permanent structures. Chairman Tracy indicated that the Planning Commission is concerned about the safety factor. People who bring in mobile homes should follow the same building code as stick homes. The City Administrator asked the Planning Commission if they were restricting mobile homes to mobile home parks. Chairman Tracy indicated that is basically what the Planning Commission wants. Chair- man Tracy further indicated it was the general consensus of the Planning Commission, that for safety reasons, they belong together.

Discussion also followed re- garding width. It was the general consensus of the Planning Commission that a stip- ulation of minimum width and minimum square footage be required.

It was the general consensus of the Planning Commission that Section D was the section they did not like.
