Harbor Mr. Bob Belknap, Bob Belknap Trailer Sales, 420 S. Harbor They stated that many of them had purchased lots with existing 10~ound load awnings attached to the offices years ago; that they had been granted licenses by the City at that time; that they knew of no 10-pound load a~rning on any of their lots that had been blown down even with the heaviest Santa Aha winds; that many of the dealers used their office awning as their display awning because their lots were too small to accommodate additional display awnings; that a large part of their volume was selling awnings; that because of the frequent changes in the size of mobile homes,- it is often necessary for them to move their offices and the attached awnings; that the required 20-pound load awning must be set in cement six inches away from their office; and that many of their offices were not permanent in that they were also for sale. The Director of Building Safety and Housing stated that the Code does require a 20- pound load awning on all commercial offices and that-an exception to mobile home and recreational vehicle dealers would make it difficult to draw the line in requirements for other types of businesses. He pointed out the safety reasons for having the heavier awning for commerciad use in that there was a much greater exposure with employees and customers always under the awning and that a 20-pound load awning was 10% stronger than a 10-pound load awning. On hearing no motion from Council, Mayor Griset stated that Council appreciated hearing the opinions expressed, however, that the matter was status quo and that no motion was required.
