Lake Ray Roberts planning commission approves special use permit for used manufactured home
Summary
The Lake Ray Roberts Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve Special Use Permit LRR-1025-0019, allowing a used manufactured home on a 34.501-acre AG-zoned tract so the applicant’s grandson and family can live nearby for health-related assistance.
The Lake Ray Roberts Planning & Zoning Commission on Nov. 17 approved a special use permit allowing a used manufactured home to be placed on a 34.501-acre AG-zoned parcel in Denton County.
Jared Harwell of the Development Services Department presented the case for Special Use Permit LRR-1025-0019 and said the application would allow a used manufactured home on the property. The applicant, Gary Pirkle, said he purchased the home so his grandson and the grandson’s family could live nearby to help with "family health issues."
Commissioners asked staff for clarifications about zoning and ordinance requirements. Mr. Matt Fuller asked how the county distinguishes "new" versus "used" manufactured homes; Harwell said used manufactured homes require a special use permit, while new manufactured homes do not. Harwell also confirmed the parcel is zoned AG.
Members viewed photographs of the home. Commissioner Frank Kudlac asked the model year; Pirkle said the home was a 2000 model and said he was "hoping it's not permanent." Chairman Nathan Brown asked about a certificate of approval and whether the unit would meet setbacks; Harwell summarized the review and inspection process staff will use to confirm compliance before issuance.
Mayor Gerard Hudspeth moved to approve the special use permit; Mr. Roger Hennen seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The commission adjourned at 12:19 p.m.
The permit is recorded on the meeting minutes as LRR-1025-0019. The transcript does not identify the one person Harwell said opposed the application, and details about timing for inspections and final certificate issuance were described generally by staff, not specified in the record.
