This request, which is for seven (7) years, appears to be in character with the neighborhood at the
preSent time. The manufactured home is'located in an area designated by the Chester Village Plan
for residemial use. Adjacent properties are zoned Residential (R-7 and R-15). Development inthis
area has started and gives the neighborhood a.stable residentialcharacter. Ifthiswere a new request,
staff.would recommend denial; however, since a manufactured home has been parked on the subject
property since the 1950's, staff woUld recommend approval subject to the aforementioned
conditions.
Because of the potential for future development in this area, staff believes that the Board should
advise the applicant to look upon this request.as a temporary dwelling, if approved, it may or may not
necessarily be renewed.
Staff recommends approval of this request for seven (7) years, subject to:Conditions 1 through 4, as
noted herein.
