Board declines to act on manufactured-home conditional-use application, asks applicant to refile
Summary
A conditional-use application by Mr. Humphreys to place a manufactured home on an easement drive was discussed by staff and the applicant; staff found required plats, notification and utility easements missing and no action was taken pending a complete application.
Mr. Humphreys, joining the meeting by phone, asked the Board to approve a conditional use to place a manufactured home on a parcel accessed by an easement drive. He said he had met prior instructions, supplied a site plan and engaged utility companies and surveyors.
Randy Barnes, community development (S6), and counsel (S2) explained multiple procedural and statutory requirements had not been satisfied: notification letters and newspaper notices were not sent, a plat and title opinion were not on file to show required easements, the ordinance requires underground utilities unless the Board grants a variance (and wooden poles are not allowed), and the Board had no record that fire or police had evaluated emergency access or that a maintenance agreement for the easement existed.
Humphreys (S8) said he had been told by staff and utilities that service could be provided and submitted site plans and emails showing communications, but staff responded that the application as presented was incomplete and that the burden of proof is on the applicant. The Board concluded the matter was not properly before them and recommended the applicant refile with full documentation; no vote or conditional-use approval occurred.
