(b) Such temporary building, mobile home, or manufactured home may be allowed for any period of time up to one (1) year, after which the board of zoning adjustment must rule on an extension of time." Staff became involved in this case in January of 2003, by way of a citizen complaint. The Enforcement Staff issued Bo Daniels, the property owner, a notice to remove the structure, but since the property was "for sale", staff administratively allowed him additional time to remove the structure from the property (6 months). On July 28, 2003, the Board of Adjustment approved a six (6) month time extension for the placement of the temporary office building. The temporary building was required to be removed by January 28, 2004. As of this writing, the property has not yet sold and Mr. Daniels has recently entered into a contract with a new real estate company. Therefore, Mr. Daniels is requesting an additional six (6) months to remove the structure. Please see his attached letter for further explanation. Staff recommends approval of the requested time extension. Staff feels that an extension of time to remove the temporary office building from this industrial subdivision is reasonable, however, six (6) additional months is the maximum time staff will support. The applicant noted that he purchased the property in September 2001 with the temporary office building in place. Staff feels that adequate time has elapsed for the property to sell or permanently develop and for the temporary building to be removed. However, given the industrial nature of this subdivision, staff feels that an additional six (6) months will not adversely affect the surrounding properties or the general area.- C. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the requested six (6) month time extension for the placement of the temporary office building. The temporary building must be removed from the property no later than July 26, 2004. 2 January 26, 2004 ITEM NO.: 1 (Cont. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JANUARY 26, 2004) The applicant was present.
