Central Board of Adjustment approves setback and roof-pitch variances for Bonnydale Farm lots
Summary
The City of Central Board of Adjustment approved a 12-foot rear-setback variance for an on-site manufactured home and a grouped roof-pitch variance for Lots 13A–13D at Bonnydale Farm, with a condition that undeveloped lots meet a minimum 5-on-12 roof pitch or return to the board.
The City of Central Board of Adjustment on Tuesday approved two variances affecting four lots in the Bonnydale Farm subdivision, allowing a reduced rear setback for an existing manufactured home and a grouped roof-pitch variance with conditions.
Chair Merlin Webb described the neighborhood as having an established pattern of manufactured homes and said the variances reflected the lots’ “uniqueness of the neighborhood and to keep with the texture of the rest of the manufactured homes in the area.” The board approved a rear-setback variance to allow a 12-foot rear setback where 30 feet is normally required for the lot with an existing home.
Applicant Hector Lagos, who identified himself as representing Lagos Mobile Home Services, told the board he purchased the property with a manufactured home already sited and that the lot’s configuration made a strict application of the rear setback difficult. He confirmed the existing home and septic are in place and described plans to place additional manufactured homes on the adjoining lots.
On the roof-pitch request, the board separated the setback issue from roof configuration. The board voted to grant a group roof-pitch variance for Lots 13A–13D but limited the variance for the three undeveloped lots to a minimum roof pitch of 5 on 12; the chair stated that any future home with a lower pitch would require the owner to return to the board for approval.
Board members discussed verification of pitch documentation for existing and proposed units and asked staff to confirm roof-pitch specifications if applicants return. The board congratulated the applicant and directed staff to follow up with standard permit steps.
The board did not specify a precise numeric vote tally in the transcript; the minute entry indicates the motions passed and the chair announced the motions as approved.
Next steps: staff will process the building-permit paperwork consistent with the variances and notify the applicant of any documentation required before issuance.
