Board OKs special zoning permit for mobile home on NE Nebraska Street; owner must dedicate 20-foot right of way
Summary
The Bartlesville Board of Adjustment voted unanimously to approve a special zoning permit allowing placement of an approximately 1,860-square-foot mobile home at 4000–4400 Northeast Nebraska Street (case SZP-0825-0058).
The Bartlesville Board of Adjustment voted unanimously to approve a special zoning permit (case SZP-0825-0058) allowing placement of an approximately 1,860-square-foot mobile home on property zoned RS-7 (single-family residential) at 4000–4400 Northeast Nebraska Street.
City planner Holly Mayhew summarized applicable regulations, saying mobile homes must be compatible with surrounding residential improvements, have durable skirting, meet manufacturer installation and state tie-down requirements, and provide accessible exterior stairways and handrails. Mayhew said the mobile home was built in 2016, would be oriented north–south on the lot, and that an accessory structure previously on the site had been removed. Staff noted the site is served by city water and sewer, is designated a suburban neighborhood character area in the comprehensive plan, and that both single-family and mobile-home uses are listed as primary for that character area. Staff recommended approval and reported no public comments for or against the request.
Mayhew said the property complies with RS-7 bulk regulations and that no sidewalks are required because the site is not in a critical sidewalk area. She added that if the permit is approved, the owner will be required to dedicate an additional 20 feet of right of way for the future widening of Nebraska Street (a designated collector) and to obtain a right-of-way permit and concrete driveway approach at permitting.
Board members discussed neighborhood character; several noted mobile-home parks are nearby (Mayhew described a mobile-home park of approximately 60 homes on one lot to the west and another with about 20 homes southeast of the property). An applicant representative, Kelly Zimmerman (managing member, M. J. Getz Bonding LLC), told the board she lives out of state and that having a family occupy the property would help secure and maintain it; she described work to clean and restore the site.
No members of the public spoke for or against the request during the public hearing. On roll call the board voted: Ms. Higbee — Aye; Mr. Radlinger — Aye; Mr. McCormick — Aye; Miss Shamhart — Aye. The chair announced the motion passes.
The permit approval is subject to the standard site-improvement requirements and the right-of-way dedication; building permit and right-of-way permit reviews will determine driveway location and dimensions.
