Homeowner granted one-year permit to keep RV on property while insurance delays repairs
Summary
After describing ongoing insurance and contractor delays, Clara Ramirez received a one-year temporary permit to park an RV on her property while repairs proceed; the board required health-department review, an after-the-fact permit and a $125 fee.
Clara Ramirez told the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals she needs to keep an RV on her property while repairs to her home are delayed by insurance and contractor issues. The board granted a one-year temporary placement permit on the condition that Ramirez obtain an after-the-fact permit, complete a health-department review for sewage hookups and pay a $125 permit fee within 60 days.
Ramirez described repeated delays from her insurer and said contractors had not yet completed work. "I'm just here to ask for permission to have that RV there," she said during the continued hearing. Staff asked whether her insurer had set a time limit; Ramirez said she had been granted extensions and agreed a one-year allowance would provide sufficient time to finish repairs.
Board members and staff emphasized administrative requirements before full occupancy: the petitioner must coordinate with the health department to ensure proper sewage and sanitary arrangements, pay the stated permit fee, and obtain an after-the-fact permit for the mobile home placement. The board explicitly conditioned the approval on the one-year removal timeline; if the repairs are not complete within that period, Ramirez will need to return for further action.
The board announced the approval verbally and instructed staff to issue permit guidance and to follow up with the health department. No formal roll-call vote tally was read into the record.
