Request: Variances in the A-1 zoning district to allow an existing mobile home as follows: 1) To allow a side yard setback of 8.5 ft. in lieu of 10 ft. 2) To allow a rear yard setback of 19.6 ft. in lieu of 50 ft. 3) To allow a minimum lot size of .4 acres in lieu of 2 acres.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff gave a presentation on the case covering the location of the property, the site plan, and photos of the site. The applicant had nothing to add to the staff presentation. The BZA noted that the mobile home had been there for 26 years, without proper permits, but that the applicant is trying to validate the mobile home, and that they will need to address septic issues at the time of permitting. The BZA confirmed the area had both mobile homes and site built homes. Staff received no commentaries in favor of the application, and 3 in opposition to the application. There was no opposition at the hearing. The BZA approved the variance.
