Commission approves Pine Hill manufactured‑home permit, tables Stagecoach CUP amid litigation
Summary
At a July 24 public hearing the commission approved a conditional‑use permit for a manufactured home at 131 Pine Hill Rd for applicant James Shulterbrondt (1.35 acres, R‑1), conditioned on septic/perk testing; a separate CUP for 110 Stagecoach Drive was tabled until Aug. 6 because of pending litigation, with an abstention noted in the minutes but not attributed to a named commissioner.
The Board of Commissioners considered two conditional‑use permit items in July. At a public hearing on July 24 the board approved a permit allowing a manufactured home at 131 Pine Hill Road for applicant James Shulterbrondt. The property is recorded in the hearing materials as 1.35 acres in an R‑1 district; the approval was conditioned on meeting required septic/percolation (perk) testing and other standard site requirements. Commissioner Timothy Biddle moved to approve the permit and Commissioner Jason Frost seconded; the minutes record the vote as unanimous after neighbor comment in support.
Applicant James Shulterbrondt identified himself for the record and said he lives at 131 Pine Hill Road and is seeking approval to place a manufactured home on the lot. A neighbor who spoke in the hearing said she had no problem with the move; Beverly Riley said she did not live in the immediate area but offered general support for the applicant.
Chairman Charles Coffey explained the conditional‑use process to hearing attendees, saying, 'that is why we have the conditional use permit process, so the people can get a manufactured home without five acres.' The remark was recorded in the public hearing minutes.
Separately, during the July 2 regular meeting the board voted to table a CUP application for 110 Stagecoach Drive until the August 6 meeting 'due to the pending litigation.' That motion (made by Commissioner Jason Frost and seconded by Commissioner Timothy Biddle) was recorded as passing, and the minutes note an abstention by 'Commissioner' without naming which commissioner abstained.
What happens next: the Pine Hill permit is approved conditionally; staff will verify septic/percolation compliance and other permitting requirements before the county issues final permit authorization. The Stagecoach application remains on the docket for the August 6 meeting pending resolution or clarification of the litigation noted in the minutes.
The minutes show the board used the conditional‑use process to consider manufactured‑home placement without the five‑acre requirement that some speakers mentioned; the hearings were livestreamed, and the full hearing minutes are part of the county record.
