On May 11, 1972 the Town Bard conducted a public hearing on the mobile home
application of Carolyn Lipps but postponed a decision pending further
i investigation. The application was again brought before the Board this
evening. Supervisor Solomon asked the Town Counsel Harold Katz to explain
to Mrs. Lipps his legal findings.
A `
Mr. Katz explained that her land consists of 4 separate lots which are
100 feet by 30 feet each. You have at present a foundation on the lot
for a home. I understand that it is your intention to put a mobile home
in the center of these lots and there was some indication that you intend
to deed one half to someone else and the other half to youself. This said
Mr. Katz cannot be done because you would be creating two non conforming
lots. The only way it can be done is to close up this foundation then we
could consider the application because it would have just one living
quarters on the lots~ Mr. Solomon suggested to Mrs. Lipps that rather than
to deny the application at this point she should spend a little more
time and think over the matter, then inform the Building Inspector of her
plans if she does decide to change them. In the meantime the board will
table the application .indefinitely.
