<br /> <br /> <br />9.B.4. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – JOAN CALDWELL <br />REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF MOBILE HOME <br />th <br />Joan Caldwell, <br /> 6699 77 Street, advised that her home was totally destroyed by a <br />tornado (hurricane-related); it was located on a 20-acre property that is zoned agricultural where <br />she has lived for 30 years. She experienced the same situation as her sister (Sandy Seese) who <br />came to the Board on March 29, 2005. (Item 9.B.1.). She had ordered a larger replacement home <br />with the understanding that it would be allowed but later learned she could not get a permit for it. <br />Chairman Lowther noted this was the same situation as last week and the same <br />family. He asked for a similar motion. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowden for discussion, to <br />allow a larger mobile home to replace Ms. Caldwell’s <br />previously destroyed one on her property. <br /> <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bowden was concerned about setting a precedent <br />and asked if many others there might have the same problem. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating explained zoning structures, <br />regulation changes, and that replacement of a non-conforming structure must conform to existing <br />regulations. He did not know how many others there might be. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />Commissioner Wheeler suggested they might go back and look at the regulations <br />and they might be able to set some parameters in a similar future occurrence. He suggested <br />looking at the grandfather clause on mobile homes on agricultural property and the damage aspect. <br />Commissioner Davis thought it needed to be tempered with some common sense <br />and Chairman Lowther agreed adding this was a 20-acre property, not a third of an acre. <br />April 5, 2005 12 <br /> <br />
