Planning commission approves nonroutine decommissioning contract for Lot 227
Summary
The commission approved a recorded decommissioning contract obligating the owners of Lot 227 to disable or remove kitchen facilities in an existing single‑wide dwelling within 30 days of occupancy of the new home; the contract was approved Aug. 14 and will be recorded at the county.
The Planning and Land Use Commission on Aug. 14 approved a nonroutine decommissioning contract for Lot 227, a recorded agreement requiring the property owners to decommission an existing single‑wide dwelling once a new residence receives a certificate of occupancy.
Colleen Thompson introduced the contract and described it as a recorded legal agreement that obligates the owner to disable the kitchen in the existing structure or remove it within 30 days of occupying the new home. “When somebody's living in an RV and they want to build a house, they have to get a decommissioning contract... it's pretty much the same thing,” Thompson said while explaining the provision and the tweak on page two that describes the planned decommissioning action for the existing structure.
Applicant Danny Pritchett confirmed the plan to upgrade the 1982 single‑wide and said the owners intend to remove or otherwise decommission the older unit over time. Commissioner Janie Tough moved to approve the decommissioning compliance contract for Danny and Chrissy Pritchett; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The commission thanked the applicants for their community participation.
The contract will be recorded with the county as a covenant on the property; the commission noted the arrangement is intended to ensure the older dwelling will no longer provide full residential service after the new house is occupied. No dollar amounts or enforcement fines were specified at the hearing; the record establishes the 30‑day compliance period after certificate of occupancy and makes the recording enforceable as a property covenant.
