Commissioners approve six-month camper extension for homeowner whose manufactured home burned
Summary
After hearing that a manufactured home burned at 325 Fielddale Road, the board approved a six-month extension for a temporary camper while the owner pursues demolition and rebuilding; staff and the marshal inspected and reported the property was being maintained.
The Stephens County Board of Commissioners approved a six-month extension for a camper permit at 325 Fielddale Road (parcel 0328203) after being told the homeowner's manufactured dwelling burned.
Staff said the applicant asked either a six- or 12-month extension while they demolish the damaged structure and work toward rebuilding; the marshal inspected the property and confirmed the camper remained on-site. Commissioners debated the appropriate length of the extension and whether additional information or an applicant representative should appear; after a motion to deny failed for lack of a second, the board voted to approve a six-month extension by voice vote.
A commissioner said he was sympathetic to the homeowner's situation and noted the practical difficulties of rehousing a family after a fire, but also asked for more detail on the cleanup and rebuilding plan; staff said they would reach out to the applicant and provide additional information as needed.
