Commission OKs special exception for manufactured home on Old Sapelo Road with owner‑occupancy condition
Summary
The planning board approved Novatera LLC’s request to place a Class A manufactured home on Old Sapelo Road subject to an owner‑occupancy deed restriction and Class A construction condition; staff and commissioners emphasized the deed restriction runs with the land and the matter will go to the Board of Commissioners for final action.
The Spalding County Planning and Appeals Commission approved application 2606S, a special exception requested by Novatera LLC to place a new manufactured (mobile) home on a 4.59‑acre AR‑1 parcel on Old Sapelo Road.
Applicant Eric Tinoco said the plan is for a brand‑new Class A mobile home and that a family member (one of his nieces) would occupy the property, which he indicated satisfies the land‑bank owner‑occupancy requirement. Mr. Allen, staff, confirmed the parcel had been acquired from the land bank and that the deed restriction requiring owner occupancy runs with the land.
Commissioners asked about driveway access, topography, drainage and nearby power lines; the applicant described placing a driveway on the south side of the right‑of‑way and noted some power‑line posts lie along the property line. Staff recommended conditions including that the home be Class A and added that deed restrictions could be included as a condition although the restriction already exists in the deed.
A motion to approve the special exception passed with no recorded opposition. Commissioners discussed adding the deed‑restriction language and the Class A requirement as conditions at permitting. Mr. Allen told the board this item will be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners for final action (date not specified in the transcript).
