Commission approves Hayes Bailey addition, recommends conditional use permit for homeowners; temporary trailer request deferred
Summary
The commission approved plans for a residential addition, recommended a conditional-use permit allowing two houses on one lot for builders Joseph and Heather, and deferred action on a resident’s trailer because it was not on the agenda and did not meet setback conditions.
The Fountain Green Planning and Zoning Commission approved building plans for the Hayes Bailey addition and recommended that the City Council approve a conditional-use permit allowing two houses on one lot for applicants Joseph and Heather, subject to the conditions discussed.
On the Hayes Bailey plans, a commissioner moved to approve the plans as submitted; the commission voted unanimously in favor. The project was described in the meeting as a rear addition with kitchen and bathroom work; the commission noted some foundation and ceiling insulation items but approved the plans with no recorded opposition.
For Joseph and Heather, the applicants explained the new house’s progress (drywall, mudding, painting, stair railings, basement insulation, and other interior work). They requested a temporary conditional use permit to allow two structures on the same lot while construction is completed, with the condition that the existing house would be abated when the new house is finished. A commissioner moved that the commission recommend approval to the City Council; the motion passed.
A separate resident asked about allowing a fifth-wheel trailer at 586 West 300 North. The commission could not act on that request because it was not on the agenda. Commissioners advised the resident to correct setback compliance (move the trailer away from the property line), and staff said a temporary permit could be structured for up to one year as allowed by the city’s conditional-use practice. The commission asked the resident to return on the agenda after the trailer has been relocated to meet setbacks.
"We can't approve this tonight because you're not on the agenda," a commissioner told the trailer applicant, explaining the process for either temporary approval or a full conditional-use application.
Each of the formal approvals or recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council where required.
