Board of Adjustment denies variance for Prairie West Estates expansion, vote 4–2
Summary
The Board of Adjustment denied a variance request for the Prairie West Estates mobile home park expansion at 2260 Franklin Street, rejecting relief from manufactured home community standards by a 4–2 vote, according to the Planning Commission recap.
The Board of Adjustment denied a variance request for the Prairie West Estates expansion, a mobile home park at 2260 Franklin Street, after deliberation and a 4–2 vote, Philip Gabatula said in a May 11 recap.
The applicant had sought relief from multiple manufactured home community standards, including minimum community size, perimeter landscaping, screening, setbacks and rules for accessory storage buildings, to allow continued development of an existing manufactured home community that began before the current code was adopted. Gabatula said the variance was intended to reduce separation requirements between the existing park and a proposed expansion so the project would meet current manufactured home park standards.
Gabatula reported the Board denied the variance on a vote of 4 to 2. The recap does not identify how individual board members voted. The denial means the applicant may choose to revise plans to meet current code or pursue other avenues such as a text amendment or different variance requests in the future.
The recap did not include detailed staff findings, specific reasons for denial, or public testimony summaries.
