Summary

The planning commission granted a two-year conditional use permit allowing a temporary trailer for construction at 119 Cornelius Road for applicant Susan Short; staff said the permit can be extended if needed.

The Petersburg Borough Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit allowing a temporary trailer for construction at 119 Cornelius Road for applicant Susan (Sue) Short for two years, including the findings of fact and conditions presented.

Short told the commission she plans to live in a trailer temporarily while building because rent is high; she described the lot as served by water and sewer and with a power pole in place. A contractor accompanying her, Ted Hasbrook, said the lot is ready to build and that he would construct the house.

Planning staff told the commission the permit was proposed for two years and could be extended if needed. Commissioners discussed zoning and confirmed the lot is single-family residential; staff noted standard fire-code and permitting requirements would apply.

The motion to approve passed on roll-call votes recorded in the transcript, with Philip, Chris, Jim and Marita recorded as voting yes; the chair declared the item approved. The permit carries standard conditions included in the staff report; the transcript does not recite full conditions.
