Agency Member Vanderstaay referred to the October 28th minutes and
asked the status of the report from the City Attorney regarding State
regulations for cabana construction. The City Attorney reported the
State Department of Housing bad been contacted however an opinion had
not been received at this time. Mrs. Vanderstaay suggested that a
moratorium be placed on two story cabana construction in the Trailer
Park. The City Attorney recommended that action be delayed pending
receipt of an interpretation of the law from the State. It was
clarified the State had issued a waiver from cabana height limitations
as requested by residents of the Trailer Park during the development
phase of the park. Agency Member Kredell asked that the State be
contacted again expressing the Agency's desire to halt further con-
struction of two-story cabanas. The Executive Director affirmed that
the original request for two-story cabanas had come from the Trailer
Park residents and suggested the Agency may wish to inform those
residents of the Agency's intent prior to further action. The City
Attorney reported it was his understanding the State is aware of the
