Mayor <br />Freelen said one of the problems was that motor homes were parking in mobile home parks <br />for an extended period of time. He also said he did not want to eliminate mobile homes, <br />because there are some nice ones. <br />Planning and Zoning Chairman Benny Plata said the Committee discussed not allowing <br />mobile homes older than 1976 in parks. Mr. Plata explained that modular homes came in <br />sections and were on foundations, but that manufactured homes replaced mobile homes. <br />Mayor Freelen expressed there were appropriate places for manufactured homes other <br />than mobile home parks. <br />
