TRINITY — Members of the Trinity City Council requested more information before it grants approval for a trailer park to be created at 157 FM 1617.

At its regular meeting on Thursday, the permit requested by Eraz Koskas was tabled until questions concerning parking issues and other safety issues were answered.

City Manager Tim King said the submitted plan was for 11 mobile homes and a cottage, or small house, but council members raised questions about placement of mobile home pads and parking.

King said the city code, based on national fire codes, requires mobile homes to be 20 feet apart and those are not. He also said that parking was a concern as residents will have to back out onto a highway.

King said the city had liability concerns if it were to approve a variance to distance requirements.

In a separate matter, the council gave service awards to three retiring firefighters — Wayne Huffman for 60 years, Jerry Tullos for 54 years and Mike Mayo for 30 years.
