Council approves encroachment consent allowing existing mobile home at 1200 West 4th to remain
Summary
Council granted consent for an encroachment at 1200 West 4th where a manufactured home protrudes 1.9 feet into a right‑of‑way; the agreement allows the existing mobile home to stay until it is moved or replaced and requires removal of a chain‑link fence before sale.
The Breckenridge council approved consent to an encroachment at 1200 West 4th that allows an existing manufactured home to remain where it protrudes 1.9 feet into a right‑of‑way adjacent to Pecan Street.
City Manager (Speaker 4) described the property owner, Louise Miller, and said the title company requested the encroachment agreement so a sale may proceed. The survey disclosed the mobile home extends about 1.9 feet into the right‑of‑way. Speaker 4 said the agreement would allow the existing mobile home to remain "unless it's either moved or replaced," and that any future replacement unit would need to be set back inside the property line.
The manager noted a chain‑link fence also extends into the right‑of‑way; he said the fence must be removed prior to the sale, and staff recommended the agreement not accommodate the fence. Speaker 1 asked for clarification on whether the fence would be removed and Speaker 4 confirmed removal would occur before sale.
Speaker 1 moved to approve consent for 1200 West 4th "as presented," Speaker 2 seconded, and the council approved the consent by voice vote.
The approval grants a limited encroachment allowance specific to the existing manufactured home and does not permit future structures to occupy the encroaching footprint. The record does not include the encroachment agreement's duration, fee (if any) or filing details.
