Board denies variance for 1971 mobile home at 7760 125th Street; orders removal in 30 days
Summary
The Slaughterville Board of Adjustment unanimously denied Jose Lopez's request to allow a 1971 mobile home at 7760 125th Street under Zoning Ordinance §13-203(B), citing age and fire-safety wiring concerns, and required removal within 30 days.
The Slaughterville Board of Adjustment on March 26, 2026, denied a variance request from Jose Lopez to allow a 1971 mobile home at 7760 125th Street in the Single-Family Residential (R-1) district. The motion to deny, made by Steve Minor and seconded by DeWayne Tolson, passed unanimously; the board recorded that the mobile home must be moved outside Slaughterville city limits within 30 days.
Jose Lopez told the board he intended to remodel the unit and had already begun work on the septic system but acknowledged he did not apply for a permit before locating the mobile home in town limits. Town Administrator Carol Lance reported the town received one phone call opposing the variance. Board members expressed concerns that the unit (described in discussion as "41 years older than what was allowed") presented potential fire hazards because of aging wiring; no exemption was granted under Town of Slaughterville Zoning Ordinance Part 13, Chapter 2, §13-203(B).
The denial is a formal action of the board; the minutes record a unanimous vote in favor of the motion to deny. The board set a 30-day timeline for compliance by removal; the minutes do not specify appeal rights or follow-up enforcement steps.
