Couple seeks mobile home on 15 acres at 410 Firetower Road; neighbor objects
Summary
Brandi and Phillip Spillers asked to place a mobile home on a 15‑acre parcel; Planning & Zoning recommended approval but a neighbor said mobile homes tend to be abandoned and harm aesthetics; the public hearing was adjourned without a decision.
At a May 27 public hearing, Brandi and Phillip Spillers asked the commission for a conditional‑use permit to place a mobile home on 15 acres at 410 Firetower Road and make it their primary residence. Planning and Zoning provided a letter recommending approval and the parcel is zoned R‑R (rural residential).
Phillip Spillers told the commission the couple currently lives in Columbus and cannot afford to build a house; they plan to place the mobile home on a concrete slab and live in the community. A nearby resident, Mark Henson of 455 Firetower Road, spoke in opposition, saying he is “not for mobile homes at all” and expressing concern that vacant or abandoned units hurt the county’s appearance.
The commission recorded a text from an adjoining property owner concerned about CUVA participation but the minutes state the adjoining owner’s property would not be developed. The public hearing was adjourned at 9:12 a.m. without a final vote recorded on the conditional‑use permit.
What’s next: the conditional‑use item will return to the commission for decision at a future meeting per the agenda process; Planning & Zoning’s recommendation is in the record.
