Enrique Arenas resides at 2300 W 6550 N. He has a travel trailer in his backyard that had been reported as being used as a full time residence. Mr. Arenas said that the trailer was not being used as a residence, only temporarily when he had company. He stated that the trailer was not hooked up to his septic system, and that he had occasionally moved it to empty the waste tank. He also said that he plans on moving the trailer within a couple of months. The Commission will follow up on this situation. If it finds a different situation is occurring, a fine will be issued until the problem is rectified.
Mr. Arenas was also interested in adding on to his existing residence. The Commission happy to give him assistance and help if needed in planning this project.
