Lakeside Gardens Subdivis ion
Request: Conditions2~ use to permit mobile home sales
Zone C-1
~. Wohlleb noted that all interested parties had been notified of
this request. He read a petition signed by 18 persons objecting to
this request. The petition was m~inly objectir4? to the drainage
problem in this area and did not want the expansion of this business
to add to their present problem.
~$r. Burgelin came forward to speak in favor of this request.
He stated that it is his understanding that these people are not
objecting ~to the trailer ss~es so much as the si~uaticn at the end of
Potter Road due to faulty drainage. ~r. Burgelin stated he hoped they
could work together as a group toward solving this drainage problem..
He stated the trailer sales is presently located on the front piece of
property and the request is for 75' behind the present sales lct.
This would then give ~.~r. BurEelin 157' on the Highway by 175' deep and
he could then have an attractive display corner which would improve the
present appearance. ~. Burgelin stated the s-~les lot would not add to

this particular drainage situation. There is storm drainage on
the highway and his water would be drained to the west instead of
the east.
Mr. Weaver noted that Mr. Burgelin has conditional use and if he
moves out the property could revert back to some of the other uses
under C-1. His usage does not affect the land and there is no
objectionable noiseE, etc. Mr. Burgelin stated that he would park
the trailers back from the right-of-way if the request is granted.
Mr. ~Jill Godwin, 670 Oak Street, came forward to speak in opposition
to this request. He stated he is negotiating to build condominiums
or some homes on the Penny property and believes that the expansion
of this trailer are~ would prove detrimental to this type of building.
Mr. William Kupf~ls asked Mr. Burgelin if he anticipated tearing
down the Severson home. Mr. Burgelin stated that it would be torn
do~ but probably not until next season because there is a family
living there now. At that time the whole area would be hard topped.
Mr. Wohlleb stated that the Board is here to hear this request and
weigh the problem and make their decision on that basis, and cannot
take this problem of drai~uge under consideration. He also stated
that the petition previously mentioned could not be accepted as a
proper objection because it pertains to the drainage problem and
not directly to this requeat~ ·
Mr. Weaver stated that he would like Mr. Burgelin to take under
consideration that at such time as he paves his parking area that
it drains into the storm drain, and thus prevent the water ~oing
down to Potter Road. Mr. Weaver noted that this Board could make a
recoKEendation that the city check into this drainage problem and
felt it would not be too costly to put in culverts or drainage on an
easement that is in this area. Mr. Wohlleb noted that these people
have complained to the city and council on numerous occasions~and
nothing has been done. Mr. Weaver noted that the Board should have
the privilege to look over the complete layout when condomini~mns
and apartments are built. The Board might spot some things that the
city officials do not see.
~. l~ohlleb noted that the voters at the last election turned down
a program for drainage and street in~orovement, and hoped that this
ne~ election the voters will consider this and take a second
thought about voting against it. Money is needed to do these
improvements.
Mr. Kopf, 2601 Lake Drive, stated that a trailer sales is no ~sset
in a residential community~ Mr. Burgelin pointed out that this
