Herb Perry -Building Permit Application at the Mobile Home Park.Herb Perry -Lot 842
Midwest Mobile Home Park -spoke to the Council about the ruling by the Board of Adjustments
regarding the resetting of home at the mobile home park.One of the homes being Angela Bergs
if you would remember.Angela let the home be repossessed before they could reset it.That
home has now been resold.It has not been reset and it not up to code.It does not have any
footings under it or anything like that.The new owner bought the home at a reduced price with
the promised the home would be reset.The Building Inspector spoke to the new resident and he
stated that he would inspect the home but if the home was not set correctly she would have to
pay to have it reset..The building permit taken out to build a deck was not in the new residents
name but in Tom Davis.Herb found that the building permit was not completed correctly and
that the signature was forged.
