Township commission denies request to place 53‑year‑old mobile home on Meadow Parkway
Summary
Commissioners denied Dennis Hotchkiss’s request to place a 53‑year‑old, 12x60 mobile home at Meadow Parkway and Mockingbird Lane, citing the mobile home's age and current ordinance.
At its Dec. 2, 2025 meeting the Town of Townsend Comprehensive Planning Commission denied a request from resident Dennis Hotchkiss to place a 53‑year‑old, 12x60 mobile home on a lot at Meadow Parkway and Mockingbird Lane.
Hotchkiss provided photographs of the unit and said the family planned to cover it with a V‑pitch canopy. Commissioners referenced the town’s current ordinance and the age of the unit in voting to deny placement. Commissioner Drew Zelle moved to deny the placement; Commissioner Joanne Jones seconded the motion, which carried (M/A).
No public comment was recorded on the item. The denial means the applicant will need to pursue other housing options or a variance pathway if available under the town ordinance. The meeting adjourned at 5:40 p.m.
