1,600 manufactured homes sold in Lamar County last year. The lots will be at least 6000 SF. Rod Wede's partner, Gene , has a facility in Sherman, Texas. There are 3 family generations at his Sherman location. He does not think that this project would devalue any properties. There is a subdivision with one hundred $125,000 homes next to this property. They will do whatever is best for the City, i.e., street dedication. 4 Melissa Huie,107 ParcOuest, thinks the project will devalue properties and that a swimming pool, park, clubhouse, etc., will not be built. Ms. L. Butcher, 3810 Sage Trail, states that the homes in her neighborhood has to be 75% brick and there is a lot of traffic on the Loop, especially at shift changes. Ms. Pat 011ey, 4000 Block of Old Bonham Rd., states there is a lot of traffic on the Loop and when she bought her home she did not expect to have to drive by a mobile home park. Mr. Cliff, 275 34`'' SW, states spots lease for $250 per month and by the time you add a house payment, lot rent cost $800 per month, they can buy a home at that cost. Mr. John Wright, 3605 W. Houston, states that the City beautification efforts would not include this project. Rev. Randal Scott, states that a realtor will tell you that a project like this will lower property values. The owners need to be specific about commercial development and if they want to help Paris, why not go to the south Loop where there is no development. Mr. Fred Plata, W. Washington, states that traffic is a problem and manufacturing homes will decrease in value. Mr. Wede, rebuts stating that a lease will not be $250 a month and any house will devalue if not taken care of and the total cost of living in the project would be $600 a month which would include everything.
