Planning and Zoning approves zoning clearance for resident to place modular home
Summary
Cleveland Planning and Zoning approved a zoning clearance allowing resident Debbie Wells to place a modular home on her parcel after staff confirmed front, side and rear setbacks appear to meet residential rules; the commission asked the resident to obtain a county address and provide parcel ID information.
Cleveland Planning and Zoning voted unanimously July 2 to approve a zoning clearance request from resident Debbie Wells to place a modular home on her property.
Chair (speaker 1) introduced the item and Debbie Wells (speaker 4) showed the commission a map on her phone, saying culinary water and electricity are accessible near the proposed site but there is no city sewer hookup. Staff (speaker 3) walked members through setback requirements, including the town’s 30-foot minimum front setback and a 25-foot rear setback referenced in the residential zoning ordinance, and said the proposed placement appeared to meet those limits.
Members discussed utility access and the potential need to coordinate with the special service district for sewer hookups. Staff cautioned the commission that whether the district will accept sewer for this lot depends on district routing and capacity; staff said they would relay that requirement to the applicant as part of the building-permit process.
Before the vote, staff and members reviewed the lot width and side-yard minimums; staff noted that combined side-yard width meets the ordinance minimums as presented. Chair asked for a motion to approve the zoning clearance “for Debbie to build the modular on her property.” A motion was made (mover named in the meeting as Tyler) and seconded (Logan); the commission voted in favor and the motion passed unanimously.
The commission instructed Wells to obtain a formal physical address from the county IT/GIS office once she applies for a building permit and to provide the parcel/tax ID to staff. Staff said the parcel ID or tax record can be obtained from county records if it is not on hand and that building permits should clarify whether a subdivision or other county approval is required. Staff also said the commission will keep a copy of the approved zoning-clearance form for the applicant.
The commission’s approval covers zoning clearance only; any required building permits, utility connections or county-required subdivision actions remain subject to county and district review.
The meeting moved on to business-license discussions after the item was closed.
