Board allows manufactured home on small Saint Andrews lot under special exception
Loading...
Summary
A special exception was approved to place a HUD-certified manufactured home on a small Dilwood Street lot in Saint Andrews; staff required compliance with ZELDR section 6.424(b).
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a special exception to place a new HUD-manufactured home on a vacant 0.08-acre lot at 1689 Dilwood Street in the Saint Andrews area, concluding that the property met the ordinance criteria for a special exception.
Staff analysis showed that of 16 parcels within 300 feet, 12 were site-built homes and no manufactured homes were within the 300-foot area; the lot is the only vacant parcel in the immediate area. The applicant, Corinne Marie Bodner, told the board she operates a local grooming business and wished to live close to her business for operational efficiency and to keep costs down. Oakwood Homes representative Matthew Johnson explained that conventional modular or site-built floor plans could not fit the parcel within coverage and setback limits and that the manufactured home proposed meets HUD/manufacturer standards and county section 6.424(b).
Board members moved and seconded to approve the special exception with the staff-recommended condition that the manufactured home comply with ZELDR section 6.424(b). The board noted that approval did not change the underlying single-family zoning of the neighborhood.
