NAME: Griffin Multisectional Manufactured Home —
Conditional Use Permit
LOCATION: 4508 East 37th Street (College Station)
OWNER/APPLICANT: Catherine Griffin
PROPOSAL: A conditional use permit is requested to allow for the
placement of a multisectional manufactured home on
this R-3 zoned lot.
SITE LOCATION:
The property is located on the north side of East 37th Street, one lot west
of Jones Street (College Station).
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD:
The property is located outside of the city limits within the City's
extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. The surrounding area contains a variety
of housing types, including site built homes and multisectional and single -
wide manufactured homes. Subsequent to the 1997 tornado, this area
was zoned in conjunction with an extension of Little Rock Sewer Service.
Since that time, several manufactured homes have been approved in the
area; either through CUP's for multisectional homes or R-7A rezoning for
single-wides. The proposed home is compatible with development in the
area.
Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located
within 200 feet of the site and the College Station Neighborhood
Association.
3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING:
The single-family residence is required one parking space. There is room
for a single driveway off of East 37=h Street to serve the site.
4. SCREENING AND BUFFERS:

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT
(MAY 17, 2012)
The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and noted no additional
information was needed. Utility and Fire Department Comments were noted.
The Committee determined there were no outstanding issues and forwarded the
item to the full Commission.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The property located at 4508 East 37th Street is located outside of the city limits.
It is located in the College Station community. The College Station area was
zoned by the City, through its extraterritorial zoning authority, following the
1997 tornado, in conjunction with the extension of City sewer to serve the area.
A 28' X 48' multisectional manufactured home has recently been placed on the
R-3 zoned lot. The owner of the lot, Catherine Griffin, lives in a multisectional
manufactured home which is located on the lot adjacent to the east. She placed
the home on this lot next to her to be occupied by her son and his family. When
staff became aware of the home's recent placement on the lot, Ms. Griffin was
advised that she would need to seek approval through the conditional use permit
process.
The property is located in an area that contains a variety of single family
residential types; including site -built homes and single -wide and multisectional
manufactured homes. Some of the manufactured homes pre -date the City's
zoning of the area. Other manufactured homes have been approved for
placement in the area either through R-7A rezoning or conditional use permits.
The proposed home has a pitched, shingled roof and a Hardiplank, vertical siding
exterior. The home has been placed with the end of the home facing the street.
The front and rear doors face the side property lines. Orientation of the home
matches the house adjacent to the east. There is no definite orientation of the
other homes on the block. Several of the lots in the block are vacant as well.

ITEM NO.: 5 Cont. FILE NO.: Z-8773
The home has been underpinned and it appears the transport elements have
been removed.
Although the applicant -provided survey indicates placement of the home with a
25' front yard setback, it is apparent that the setback is actually closer to 15.
Staff is supportive of allowing this home to remain as it has been placed. East
37th Street is not a heavily traveled street. The street serves about a half dozen
residential properties. If this home is ever removed and replaced with a
similarly -sized multisectional manufactured home, the new home must be placed
to comply with required setbacks.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested CUP subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions outlined in Section 6 of the agenda staff report.
Staff recommends approval of a front yard setback variance to allow this home to
remain as currently placed subject to compliance with the following condition:
1. If this specific home is ever removed from the lot, placement of any
subsequent home must comply with required setbacks.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JUNE 7, 2012)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the
item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "staff recommendation"
above. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on the consent
agenda and approved as recommended by staff. The vote was 10 ayes, 0 noes
and 1 absent.
