Lefler to place a trailer on Newbern Road, and Council would be glad to hear any one who wished to speak either for or against the placement of this trailer. As there was no one present who spoke at this time, Mayor Ratcliff called for the report of Town Manager Coake . Town Manager Coake advised that James Lefler had applied for a permit to place a mobile home at 550 Newbern Road, corner of Newbern Road and Craig Street, and the report from the Engineering Department JAMES C. indicates the lot conbains approximately 10,569 square feet, which satisfied LEFLER TRAILER minimum lot size requirements, and that town water and sewer is available to the APPLICATION APPROVED - lot. The report shows that the lot is approximately five (5) feet belowroad HARDSHIP CASE level, but is fairly level and is located in an R-2 Residential Zone; there are existing trailers in the vicinity, approximately 600 60 1000 feet from the proposed site. All property owners adjacent to the lot have been contacted; however, since being contacted two of the property owners have now voiced objections to the placement of a trailer on this lot, because it would de- value their property. Mrs. Frances Delp advised that she has to look after her husband who is a stroke victim and that her son, who occupies the house adjacent to the proposed trailer site, has a learning disability and it makes it hard for her to go back and forth to look aftet them and if the trailer were placed on the lot it would be less of a hardship on her to take care of them both.
