<br /> <br /> <br />Director Keating specified that staff could structure the regulation as the Board <br />wishes. The whole concept of non-conformities is they would gradually amortize out. <br />In response to Commissioner Bowden’s request, County Attorney Collins explained <br />in depth that our rules do not allow the expansion of non-conformities. If the Commissioners do <br />proceed today, they need to direct staff to come back with non-conformity rules. It seemed to him <br />the direction they are going was to allow larger mobile homes to be substituted for those that were <br />smaller and destroyed by a hurricane. <br />Commissioner Wheeler still believed the grandfather clause could be re-worked. He <br />thought some criteria should be set so the door is not open to something unacceptable. <br />Commissioner Bowden suggested perhaps that this would apply to only the <br />catastrophe of 2004. <br />Chairman Lowther would hate to put that tag on it because a disaster is a disaster. <br />This happened and the family has the homes coming because they thought they would be able to <br />replace their destroyed homes. <br />Administrator Baird thought we have to be careful because the County is in the <br />regulatory business. <br />Commissioner Neuberger felt this situation had to be considered on its own merits; <br />he did not feel this would be creating a precedent. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />CARRIED unanimously. (The Board approved allowing a <br />larger mobile home to replace the smaller mobile home on <br />Ms. Caldwell’s property that was destroyed during a <br />hurricane.) <br /> <br />The Chairman called a short recess at 10:27 a.m. The meeting was reconvened at <br />10:34 a.m. <br /> <br />April 5, 2005 13 <br /> <br />
