Title
Discussion on mobile home variance request
Body
SUMMARY:
Mr. Tom Baker has submitted a request for variance to the requirement in the existing city ordinance that requires any mobile home that is to be placed on a standard lot or parcel (not in a mobile home park or lot), must be new or no more than 10 years old. The mobile home Mr. Baker is interested in bringing into the city was manufactured in 2001, thus making it 14 years old. He has submitted a series of photographs that are attached.
The mobile home, while in excellent condition, has added roof structures over a deck in the back and a porch in the front. The deck, porch, and roof structures will be removed prior to being re-located. In order for a building permit to be obtained, Mr. Baker will be required to get a structural engineer to document the integrity of the mobile home with those structures removed.
The Planning Commission recommended that the variance be granted, subject to Mr. Baker being able to obtain a building permit.
Recommended Action
Consider variance to the mobile home ordinance with restrictions, as recommended by Planning Commission.
