Sid Medlin of Charlotte indicated he also was one of the first residcnte of Oakdale Mobile Home Park and that it is very nice. He indicated that Fir. Stephens sets firm rules and deals with all park problems himself. He added that he knows there is a need for mobile home spaces as he has been looking for a space for 4 months while his wife resides here with her new job and he lives in'Charlotte while they seek new living arrangements. Crank Williams, co-owner of 145 acres adjacent to the site, indicated that he had discussed this matter with the two other owners and that they had ex- pressed concern about lowering of the property values, particularly given the location in vicinity of 1-40. He added that he was not opposed to mobile homes but was concerned that mobile home parks run down after some years. He added that he drove through Oakdale Mobile Home Park I and was impressed with it. He asked that the Board require all improvements be in place prior to the start-- up of the park, if approved. Charlotte Huckabee•expressed concern that there is also a need for up- graded housing and that her nephew had been searching for some time. She added that her property would be a buffer for this proposal. NOTE: HILDA BRODY WAS SWORN IN. ' Ms. Brody asked if a second phase of the park was planned. Stephens .re- sponded that there was no second Phase proposed.

Stephens indicated that he was clustering the permitted number of units on the property to provide for utilities and improvements and to retain the wooded area for recreation and open space.
