Panel approves variance to split a York County lot into two manufactured-home parcels
Summary
The planning panel granted a variance to reduce required road frontage to allow an existing parcel with two manufactured homes to be divided into two compliant single-home lots after staff found the application met variance criteria and no opposition spoke at the public hearing.
York County planning commissioners voted to approve a variance allowing the subdivision of a parcel on Highway 161 so two existing manufactured homes can occupy separate, compliant lots.
Staff told the panel the parcel currently contains two manufactured homes with separate driveways that have been in place for more than 30 years. The applicant proposes to divide approximately 2.32 acres into two lots that would each meet the one-acre minimum but need relief from the road-frontage requirement. Staff said that creating two lots would remove a nonconforming condition and allow reasonable use of the properties under current zoning.
Applicant Natalie Dixon told the panel she and her family intend to buy the right-side lot (address 468) to give her father stable housing; she said the owner, Bill Lemming, agreed to the subdivision and had signed consent forms. "The only real change will just be that one person will own the right side and somebody else will own the left side," Dixon said.
No members of the public opposed the request. A board member moved to approve the variance as requested and the panel voted to grant it.
Staff noted the frontage measurements provided in the packet were approximate and that a surveyor will complete final field measurements as part of the subdivision process. The board conditioned approval on final platting and related survey work as required by county procedures.
