tracts and large areas of undeveloped woodlands. This 3.61 acre tract is
located some 300 feet off of Kanis Road and is surrounded by trees and
shrubbery, limiting visibility of the site from other properties. Allowing
placement of the proposed manufactured home should not impact
adjacent properties. The proposed multisectional home is to be located
generally in the spot previously occupied by a single -wide mobile home.
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site, all residents
within 300 feet who could be identified were notified of this request.
3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING:
The principal dwelling and proposed accessory dwelling each require one
on-site parking space. The property is accessed via a gravel driveway off
of Kanis Road. There is more than sufficient on-site parking space on the
property.

Utility Comments were presented. There were no other comments. The
applicants were advised to respond to staff issues by August 25, 2004. The
Committee forwarded the item to the full Commission.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The R-2 zoned, 3.61 acre tract at 19305 Kanis Road is currently occupied by
one, site -built single family residence. A single -wide mobile home which was
also on the tract has been removed, but the utility hook-ups remain. The
property is outside of the city limits but within the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The applicants are requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow
placement of a 28'X 80' (maximum) multisectional manufactured home on the
property as an accessory dwelling. The applicants will occupy the accessory
dwelling and help care for elderly parents who occupy the principal dwelling. The
proposed manufactured home will be a newer model (2,000+) and will have a
pitched shingled roof and vinyl siding. The property is located 300± feet off of
Kanis Road and is accessed via a gravel driveway. The property is bordered by
dense trees and vegetation, providing screening from other properties.
Staff is supportive of the requested Conditional Use Permit. The 3.61 acre tract
is large enough to support both the existing residence and the proposed
manufactured home. It is not unusual to find manufactured homes on properties
in this unincorporated area. The home will be placed to comply with Ordinance
Siting Standards. The utility connections are already in place since the site was
previously occupied by a mobile home. The property is not covered by a valid
bill of assurance.
At some point in the future, the applicants will occupy the principal dwelling.
The manufactured home accessory dwelling will remain on the site to be
occupied only by family members or guests of the property owners. The
accessory dwelling will not be rented.
On August 24, 2004, the applicants submitted responses to staff issues raised at
Subdivision Committee and reflected in the analysis above.

Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit application subject to
compliance with the following conditions:
