Public hearing on a special‑use permit for a manufactured‑home/RV park at 140 Ferry Lane drew proponent testimony about long use and tornado recovery, neighborhood concerns about permanence and septic/safety, and legal debate over whether nonconforming RV use lapsed; the board continued the hearing for additional staff review.
