00SR0285: In Bermuda Magisterial District, STEVEN C. MORGAN requests renewal of Mobile
Home Permit 96SR0135 to park a mobile home in a Residential (R-7) District. The density of this
proposal is approximately 2.86 units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for residential use of 2.51 to 4.0 units per acre. This property is known as 10110
Brightwood Avenue. Tax ID 793-666-8706 (Sheet 18).
The first permit was issued on August 24, 1983.
The mobile home is located on property belonging to the 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.
This request, which is for seven (7) years, appears to be in character with the neighborhood at the
present time. The mobile home is located in an area designated by the Jefferson Davis Corridor
Plan for residential use. Adjacent property is zoned Residential (R-7). Development in this area
gives the neighborhood a stable residential character.
On April 29, 2000, the Planning Department received a complaint regarding the applicant's
construction of an addition. A field visit revealed an addition had been added to the existing
manufactured home in violation of the Mobile Home Permit and the Zoning Ordinance. This
addition, as well as the existing manufactured home, were located forty-seven (47) inches from
the side property line. The Building Inspections Department has indicated that there is no record
of a building permit being issued for the addition.
The applicant has indicated the addition which is 28' X 16' was constructed in November of 1996.
On May 30, 2000, the applicant applied for a 3.6 foot Variance to the 7.5 foot side yard setback
requirement for the mobile home and a 4.5 foot Variance to the ten (10) foot rear setback
requirement for a shed (which was also in violation) with the Board of Zoning Appeals. On
August 2, 2000, the Board of Zoning Appeals approved these two (2) Variances for the setback
requirements. On June 20, 2000, the applicant applied to renew his mobile home permit and
amend Condition 4 to allow for the existing addition to remain.
Staff contacted the Building Inspections Department which has requested if the Board approves
this request, the applicant apply for a building permit within thirty (30) days.
If the Board grants this request, it will be for a limited time period. Upon expiration of the
permit, the applicant may request a renewal of the permit or may remove the mobile home from
the property.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST FOR SEVEN (7) YEARS, subject
to Conditions 1 thru 3, 5 thru 7 as noted herein and Condition 4 and 8, as noted below.

Inspections within thirty (30) days of the granting of the Mobile Home Permit.

In Bermuda Magisterial District, STEVEN C. MORGAN requested
renewal of Mobile Home Permit 96SR0135 to park a mobile home
in a Residential (R 7) District. The density of this
proposal is approximately 2.86 units per acre. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
residential use of 2.51 to 4.0 units per acre. This
property is known as 10110 Brightwood Avenue. Tax ID

Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 00SR0285 and stated
that the applicant has indicated that an addition was built
on the back side of the structure in 1996 which, at that
time, was a violation of County policy. He further stated
that, since that time, the Board of Zoning Appeals has
approved the setback variances for the addition and,
therefore, staff recommends approval for seven years,
subject to the standard conditions and two additional
conditions one modifying Condition 4 which prohibits any
additional additions to the property other than what has
been constructed; and Condition 8 which will require the
applicant to submit and receive necessary permits from
Building Inspection within thirty days of the granting of
this mobile home permit.
Mr. Steven Morgan stated that the recommendation is
acceptable.
Because someone was present to speak to the request, it was
moved to Item 17., Remaining Mobile Home Permits and Zoning
Requests.

concerns relative to denial of his request for a building
permit to construct an addition to his mobile home. He
further expressed concerns relative to differences in the

to determine the accuracy of his property boundaries.
Mr. Miller suggested that Mr. Stigall have his property
surveyed.

photographs of the two neighboring properties.

amend the conditions to ratify the construction that was

permit, he may be required to remove the structure.

permit and that the Building Inspection Office has indicated
