PROPOSAL
The landowner, Ms. Socorro Wade, is seeking renewal of the manufactured home permit for an
additional seven (7) years.
Since 1973, Ms. Wade has been the owner/occupant of the manufactured home after her
husband, HowardWade, passed in the early 1990s. The manufactured homehas two (2)
existing porch additions(unattached and unfinished area)which were previously approvedwith
multiple renewals. As conditioned inCase 18SN0129, a shortened approval time of one (1)year
was given to satisfy landscaping requirements which were imposed.
Staff’s inspection of the property revealed the manufactured home is located at the terminus of
Appomattox Streetwhich minimizes the awareness of the use (Exhibit). The manufactured
home is an older model; however, given the location of the manufactured home,and the
installation of the required landscaping, the request will have minimal impacts on the
surrounding properties. As required bytheprevious approval, the existinglandscape material
appears to be healthy; however, producing slow growth over the last year.Additional
plantings, installed by the owner, have been located along the foundation of the manufactured
home to further enhance the property,and compliment the required plantings along the front
property line.
Staff is supportive of renewals for previouslyapproved applicants as owners/occupants of the
manufactured home when the manufactured home and property continue to be well-
maintained and in compliance with conditions of their previous permit approval. The property
and manufactured home are well maintained. Staff believes the landscaping is adequate for this
use given its locationat the terminus of Appomattox Street. The landowner is in compliance
with the Board approval in 2018. No known complaints have been received relative to the use
since the approval in 2015.
