City Council Meeting June 11,2001 Page 4 decks, and porches. Ms. Green advised that the cost for manufactured homes range from $30,000.00 up to $75,000.00. Mayor Pfiester called for opponents to appear, and Glenda Wickersham, 1122 6th SE, appeared before the City Council in opposition to the zoning change, and presented a petition containing twenty signatures of citizens also objecting to the rezoning. Ms. Wickersham felt that a mobile home should not be placed in a neighborhood because it will decrease property value and have a deteriorating effect on the neighborhood. Ms. Wickersham urged the City Council to deny this re-zoning request. Ken Kohls, 3935 Brandon Place, appeared before the City Council advising that he owns property at 825 and 835 5th SE. He said as a former member of the City Council twenty years ago, he was against placing mobile homes in residential areas. Mr. Kohls told the City Council that this is a typical example of spot zoning and it is not fair to the property owners and neighborhood. Mr. Kohls said there is not a standard in the city for a mobile home/manufactured home. Mr. Kohls said they were trying to have neighborhoods of like type property. Mr. Kohls asked the City Council not to approve this rezoning change. Hunter Moore, 4330 Lakeshore, appeared before the City Council stating that he owns property at 1106 6th SE and asked the City Council to deny this rezoning request.
