01SR0247: In Bermuda Magisterial District, DONALD L. BENTON, JR. AND THOMAS L.
GORDON request renewal of Mobile Home Permit 89SR0171 to park a mobile home in a
Residential (R-7) District. The density of this proposal is approximately 2.5 units per acre. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for residential use of 2.51 - 4.0 units per
acre. This property is known as 2700 Drewrys BluffRoad. Tax ID 789-680-7058 (Sheet 18).
The first permit was issued on April 10, 1974.
The mobile home is located on property which belonged to Cecil E. Baughan (Deceased) with
Thomas L. Gordon, now as the trustee. Mr. Baughan's son, Brandon Baughan, is a minor child
of thirteen (13) years of age. He is the full beneficiary of Mattie R. Baughan and Cecil E.
Baughan. Mr. Benton is the custodial parent of Brandon Baughan and is also one of the
applicants. Mr. Gordon is the executor of the estate and is the other applicant.
The property is served by public water and sewer.
Staff finds there are five (5) mobile homes located within one-quarter (1/4) mile of this property.
During the field visk, staff observed that the subject property was in violation of the Zoning
Ordinance with respect to discarded material and an unlicensed vehicle. Staff is also concerned
the mobile home is not completely skirted as required.
Staff also observed an addition on the rear of the mobile home. Mr. Benton, one of the applicants,
has indicated the addition has been there since the 1970's.
The applicants have requested that Condition 1 be amended to allow Brandon Baughan and his
custodial parent to reside on the premises. Staff supports this amendment.
This request, which is for seven (7) years, is located in an area designated by the Jefferson Davis
Corridor Plan for residential use of 2.51 - 4 un/ts per acre. Adjacent property is zoned Residential
(R-7). Development in this area has started and gives the neighborhood a stable residential
character. If this mobile home had not been on the subject property since the 1970's, staff would
recommend denial of the permit because the use is incompatible with existing permanent single
family dwellings.
2 01 SR0247/WP/JUNE20Z
However, because the mobile home has been on the property for approximately twenty-seven (27)
years, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST FOR FIVE (5) YEARS,
subject to Conditions 2 and 3, 5 through 7, as noted herein and Conditions 1 and 4, as noted
below.
CONDITIONS
Brandon Baughan, Donald L. Benton, Jr., and family shall be the occupants of the
mobile home.
No additional permanent-type living space other than the existing addition may be
added onto the mobile home. All mobile homes shall be skirted but shall not be
placed on a permanent foundation.
If the Board grants this request, it will be for a limited time period. Upon expiration of the
permit, the applicants may request a renewal of the permit or may remove the mobile home from
the property.

A copy of this application is on file at the Planning Department, Development Review Division,
Chesterfield County Administration Building, Room 203, Chesterfield, Virginia, for public
examination between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. of each regular business day.
