Trustees review modular home siting; applicant, trustees discuss foundation elevation and demo
Summary
An applicant representing a Rochester modular home answered trustees' questions about the house's foundation height, the image quality of exhibits, and whether the existing house will be demolished.
An applicant and trustees discussed a modular home proposed for an unnamed lot during the July 21 meeting, focusing on the home’s foundation elevation, exhibit images, and the removal of the existing structure.
Michael Britt identified himself as the representative for the Rochester modular home and presented images for trustees to review. A trustee questioned whether the foundation appeared low, saying, “the foundation doesn't look like it's very raised off the ground.” The applicant replied that the image showed a lower-quality rendering and that he lacked the correct computer adapter to pull together a better image. Another speaker suggested their organization (GDC) could produce a clearer image.
Trustees also confirmed that the existing house on the site is scheduled for demolition; a trustee asked, “And the house that's there now is coming down?” and received the response, “It's coming down.”
Discussion only: Trustees asked for clearer exhibits and assurance about elevation and demolition. No permits, conditions, or formal approvals were recorded in the transcript.
Direction: Trustees sought better images and clarification of the foundation elevation for future consideration.
Formal action: No motions or votes were recorded related to the modular home during the transcripted exchange.
Background: The conversation included brief technical notes about exhibit quality and a suggestion that GDC could prepare improved images. The applicant acknowledged limitations in the materials presented and accepted requests for clearer documentation.
Next steps: Applicant or staff to supply higher-resolution images and clearer elevation information for trustee review at a later meeting.
