	Janice Kelterborn was present to request that her AFC home at 2304
	W. Frances Rd. be allowed to increase from 10 beds to 12 beds. She
	explained that they had had several requests to allow couples to live
	there and that two of the bedrooms are large enough to have queen
	size beds instead of the singles, but a change in size or capacity must
	have approval from the Planning Commission. Mrs. Kelterborn also
	said that there would be no outside or structural changes made, just
	the two different beds. The Office of Consumer Industry in Lansing
	governs AFC homes and they require consent from the Planning
	Commission.

	asked for a motion. Motion by Ranger, seconded by Preseau to grant
	the request to go from a 10 bed home to a 12 bed home.

	before the Board approximately three years ago for this Special Land
	Use permit and were approved, but didn't build at that time, and that
	the consent is only good for 18 months, so they are back before the
	Board. He further explained that there are water problems in the area,
	and that they plan to berm and have catch basins which will fix the
	water problems, similar to Ashtyn Estates. The structure is to be
	approximately 40,000 sq. ft. The property has 60' to 66' frontage.
