PROPOSAL
The landowner, Ms. Socorro Wade, is seeking renewal of the manufactured home permit for an
additional seven (7) years.
Since 1973, Socorro Wade has been the owner/occupant of the manufactured home afterher
husband, Horace Wade, passed in the early 1990s. The existing manufactured home is an older
model with two (2) existing porch additions (unattached and unfinished area)which were
approved with Case 15SN0159. As conditioned inCase 15SN0159, a shortened approval time of
two (2) years and required landscaping to mitigate impacts on adjacent propertieswere
imposed.
Staff’s first inspection of the property revealed the manufactured home to be in fair condition,
and the property well maintained. As required bythe previous approval, the two (2) privets are
healthy and showingsigns of growth. The three (3) evergreens (leyland cypress)had not
produced sufficient growth due to wildlife (deer) damaging the plant material and poor soil
conditions. In early March, a Master Gardener with the Cooperative Extension Office met on
site to evaluate present conditions and provide recommendations for the struggling plant
material. Based on the recommendations received, volunteers worked to relocatetwo (2)
existing evergreens (leyland cypress) andplanted three (3) cedar trees(Exhibit 1). All soil was
prepared with additional compost which shouldimprove the moisture retention, aeration, and
fertility of the soil. Staff’s second inspection found the plant material to be adjusting well with
new signs of spring growth.
The landowner is in compliance with the Board approval in 2016 with the exception of
satisfying the landscaping requirements. No known complaints have been received relative to
the use since the approval in 2016.
