Summary

Council denied a variance request that would allow a manufactured home to remain on site; CM Martin moved to deny the variance and required the trailer be removed within 30 days.

The Tekoa City Council denied a variance request from Mrs. Brown that would have allowed a manufactured home to remain on a property beyond code limits.

Mrs. Brown presented documentation about the manufactured home she is buying. Council members debated options: CM Dave Tysz preferred a month-to-month approach while CM Mike Hale said he opposed an extension. CM Pete Martin moved “to not allow the variance and need to move the trailer in 30 days,” and CM Ausmus seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The council did not authorize a temporary extension.

The council’s action requires the property owner to remove the trailer within 30 days or seek additional formal relief at a subsequent meeting.
