Board of Adjustments approves setback variances for mobile home at 1104 Westport
Summary
On Nov. 18, 2024 the Board of Adjustments approved variances to reduce the rear setback from 25 feet to 10 feet and the front setback from 25 feet to 22 feet so a 1,216-square-foot mobile home can be placed at 1104 Westport; members said they will verify setbacks in the field once a survey is completed.
The Board of Adjustments voted to grant setback variances for a mobile home at 1104 Westport during its Nov. 18, 2024 meeting.
Staff told the board the applicant wants to place a 1,216-square-foot single-wide mobile home on a lot described in the packet as about 5,130 square feet. The applicant requested the rear setback be reduced from 25 feet to 10 feet (a 15-foot variance) and the front setback from 25 feet to 22 feet (a 3-foot variance). Staff cited Article 3, Section 232 of the municipal code as the criteria the board should use in considering the variance.
The property owner said they have hired Owen Surveying and were experiencing address issues with the surveyor but expected stakes to be set soon. "I hired Owen surveying ... they're supposed to put the stakes on tomorrow," the property owner said. Board members and participants repeatedly advised the applicant to get a current survey and to confirm property boundaries with adjacent owners before placing the unit.
At the meeting, one member moved to approve the variance "with the information that we have," and another member seconded. The board took a voice vote; members responded "aye," and the motion carried. Board members said they will visit the site to verify setbacks and ensure the unit complies with the conditions as approved.
The board also approved the minutes from its previous meeting earlier in the session and swore in Roger Crane as a new board member. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 5:45 p.m.
What happens next: the applicant is expected to provide a recorded survey and staking, after which the board will confirm physical setbacks on site before final verification of compliance.
