Spillers seek to place mobile home on 15 acres; neighbor objects at public hearing
Summary
Brandi and Phillip Spillers requested a conditional-use permit to place a mobile home on 15 acres at 410 Firetower Rd; planning and zoning recommended approval, the applicants said they could not afford to build a house and planned a concrete slab, and a neighbor, Mark Henson, objected citing concerns that mobile homes depreciate and lead to vacant, abandoned units. Minutes record no final permit decision.
Brandi and Phillip Spillers appeared at a May 27 public hearing to request a conditional-use permit to place a mobile home on a 15-acre parcel at 410 Firetower Road and establish it as their primary residence.
The applicants told the commission they currently live in Columbus, that his wife works from home, and that they had chosen the 15-acre tract because of community ties. They said they could not afford to build a house immediately and planned to set the mobile home on a concrete slab.
Planning and zoning submitted a letter recommending approval and the application met the R-R zoning checklist and subdivision history noted in the packet. A neighboring property owner, Mark Henson of 455 Firetower Road, told the board he opposed mobile homes generally and said they “depreciate, and when they get vacant and abandoned it makes the county look ugly.”
Chairman Charles Coffey said he received a text from an adjoining property owner with CUVA concerns but that the property in question would not be developed. The minutes record a motion to adjourn the public hearing and do not record a final vote on the Spillers’ permit request; the record therefore does not show whether the permit was granted or denied.
The planning-and-zoning recommendation and the neighbors’ concerns both appear in the record; the commission did not take a documented final action on the permit during the May 27 hearing.
