93SN0236: In Bermuda Magisterial District, EVELYN FIOP. ENTINI requests a Mobile Home
Permit to park a mobile home in a Residential (R-7) District. The density of this proposal
is approximately 2.94 units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan designates the property for
residential use of 2.51 to 4.00 units/acre. This property fronts the north line of Drewrys Bluff
Road, approximately 850 feet east of Jefferson Davis Highway and is better known as 2668
Drewrys Bluff Road. Tax Map 67-3 (1) Parcel 41 (Sheet 23).
This is the applicant's first permit request. However, others have parked the same mobile
home on this property since September 27, 1978.
The mobile home is located on property belonging to Lawrence Driver, Jr. The applicant
has a contract to purchase the property.
The property is served by public water and sewer.
Staff finds there are four (4) 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 leffer~on
Davis Corridor Plan for residential use. Adjacent property is zoned Residential (R-7).
Development in this area has started and gives the neighborhood a stable residential
character.
Staff's field visit revealed that additional living space has been added onto the mobile home
by a previous owner, George Baldwin, in January 1983. The Standard Mobile Home
Condition prohibiting the addition of permanent living space was not imposed on Mr.
Baldwin until October 1983 when the 1978 Mobile Home Permit was renewed. As
o.pposed to making the applicant remove the additional living space, staff recommends that
Standard Condition 4 be amended as noted below.
Because of the present development in this area, staff believes that the Board should advise
the applicant to look upon this request as a temporary dwelling and, if approved, it may or
may not necessarily be renewed.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST FOR SEVEN (7) YEARS, subject to
Standard Conditions 1 through 3 and 5 through 7, as listed herein, and Condition 4, as
noted below.
No additional permanent-type living space, other than the existing additions,
may be added onto the mobile home. The mobile home shall be skirted, but
shall not be placed on a permanent foundation.

93SR0242: In Dale Magisterial District, REBECCA WALKER requests renewal of Mobile
Home Permit 88SR014 to park a mobile home in a Residential (R-7) District. The density
of this proposal is approximately 1.48 units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan designates
the property for residential use of 1.51 to 4.00 units/acre. This property fronts the south line
of Cascade Street at Upp Street and is better known as 4747 Cascade Street. Tax Map 52-3
(2) Henning Heights, Lot 41 (Sheet 15).
The first permit was issued on June 27, 1984.
The mobile home is located on property belonging to George W. Law, father of the
applicant.
The property is served by private well and septic system. The Health Department reports
no environmental health hazard in existence.
Staff finds there are no other mobile homes located within one-quarter (1/4) mile of this
property.
This request, which is for seven (7) years, is located in an area designated by the Central
Area Land Use and Transportation Plan for residential use. Adjacent property is zoned
Residential (R-7) and Agricultural (A). Development in this area has started and gives the
neighborhood a stable residential character.
Staff's field visit revealed that the mobile home and property is well maintained. The
property is located on Cascade Street, which has been split by Chippenham Parkway
resulting in a dead-end street. The property to the north is undeveloped and zoned
Agricu Itural (A) creating a potential for development. However, staff believes that the mobiie
home is in character with the area at the present time and does not prove to be a detriment
to, adjacent properties or the area in general.
If this request was for a new mobile home in this area, staff would have concerns and may
recommend denial. However, since the mobile home has been located on the subject
property for nine (9) years, staff supports this request.
Because of the present and 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
and, 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 7, as noted herein.
