Board approves waiver to build new home with condition to remove old residence on Bloomfield Road
Summary
The board approved a waiver allowing construction of a new single‑family residence on a parcel with existing multifamily use, with an amended condition that the existing mobile home must be removed within a timeline tied to the certificate of occupancy (discussed as up to eight months).
The Benton County Planning Board approved a waiver of site‑plan review for a multifamily residential land use at 10824 Bloomfield Road to allow construction of a new residence, with a condition that the existing mobile home be removed after the new home is occupied.
Applicant Javier Farah stated his name and address for the record and explained the parents living in the older structure have mobility and maintenance issues. Staff explained county ordinance requires planning board review for parcels with three or more dwellings and that the waiver would allow placement of the third home on the 10‑acre parcel provided the owner removes the old unit upon completion.
During deliberations the board amended the motion to include explicit demolition/removal timing tied to the certificate of occupancy for the new house — the language discussed allowed up to eight months after certificate of occupancy for removal — and recorded a unanimous roll call vote approving the motion 6–0. The board directed staff to coordinate with 911 administration on addressing and addressing emergency address assignment as needed.
