Applicant asks to place modular home; council takes no action pending clearer application
Summary
Applicant Kristen Baden asked to place a modular home at 1669 County Road 205; council determined the original notice to neighbors described a temporary tiny home and asked the applicant to provide the modular-home identification number; council took no action pending clarified paperwork.
Kristen Baden told the council she purchased a property at 1669 County Road 205 and sought permission to place a modular home on the lot because the existing house is in very poor condition. The application originally sent adjacent-property notices referencing a temporary tiny-house use, and several neighbors had objected to that description.
Staff clarified local rules distinguish tiny homes, modular homes and manufactured homes. City staff said modular homes that meet the city definition do not require a special-use permit, while manufactured homes do. Staff requested the applicant provide the modular-home serial/model number so the file can indicate the structure is modular (not manufactured) and thus not subject to the specific-use permit process outlined in the original notice.
Given the discrepancy between the mailed notice (tiny-home temporary use) and the applicant’s updated plan for a modular home, the council took no action and asked the applicant to submit exact model/serial information and, if the plan changes to a manufactured home, to notify staff so the item can be revisited.
