November 29, 2012 ITEM NO.: D FILE NO.: Z-8807 NAME: Coulter Multisectional Manufactured Home — Conditional Use Permit LOCATION: 8511 Coulter Lake Road OWNER/APPLICANT: Julia Coulter PROPOSAL: A conditional use permit is requested to allow for the placement of a multisectional manufactured home on this R-2 zoned tract. SITE LOCATION: The property is located southwest of the intersection of Coulter Lake Road and Castle Valley Road, near the southern edge of the city limits off of Chicot Road. 2. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: The property is located near the southern edge of the City in an area that has maintained a fairly rural feel. A golf course wraps around much of the site. New single family homes have been built east and north of the site. The property adjacent to the north contains an older home and a single -wide manufactured home. There are other mobile and manufactured homes in the general area. This home site is somewhat separated from the new site — built homes to the east and north. The style of this proposed home is similar to the newer homes which are one-story, ranch style, primarily horizontal siding with some brick accents. Staff believes the proposed home is compatible with the area. Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site and SWLR United for Progress. 3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING. - The single family home requires one on -site parking space. This pipe stem lot fronts onto Coulter Lake Road. A driveway is located within the stem but that driveway is used by the neighbor to the north. Access to this lot has historically been off of the asphalt golf course parking lot. The applicant proposes to improve her driveway and to continue to use the existing access. November 26, 2012 ITEM NO.: D(Cont.)FILE NO.: Z-8807 4.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (SEPTEMBER 20, 2012) Julia Coulter was present, representing the application. Staff briefly described the proposal, noting that no additional information was needed. Staff noted the siting criteria for multisectional manufactured homes from Chapter 36, Section 36-254(c)(5) of the Code. Ms. Coulter briefly described the property, noting that the house which existed on the site burned down in March of this year. She explained that the proposed manufactured home would be placed on the existing foundation where the house was previously located. After the discussion, the Committee forwarded the application to the full Commission for final action. 2 November 26, 2012 ITEM NO.: D (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-8807 STAFF ANALYSIS: The R-2 zoned, .72 acre tract located at 8511 Coulter Lake Road was previously occupied by a two-story, single family residence. The applicant had lived there for 27 years. On March 3 of this year, a neighbor was burning brush on his property when the fire got out of control. The fire spread to the applicant's property and burned her house. The home was a total loss. The site was subsequently cleaned up, leaving only the concrete slab where the house previously stood. The applicant is now requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for placement of a multisectional manufactured home on the site. The home will be placed on the concrete slab. The applicant is considering a 1989, 28' X 48' home with a "log cabin" fagade. The home will have a pitched roof and will be underpinned to comply with code requirements. A deck (6' X 6') will be added at the front entrance. The driveway will be graveled and contained to comply with the "parking in yards" regulations. Staff is supportive of the request. There are other manufactured and mobile homes in the general area, including next door. This site is separated from most of the other homes but it does have similarities that contribute to its compatibility with those homes; including one-story, ranch style, siding and orientation toward the street. The home is actually to be placed over 200 feet off of the street. Trees and other vegetation are located along the front perimeter of the lot and the home will be located behind them. There is no bill of assurance for this acreage tract. STAFF RECOMMENDATION, Staff recommends approval of the requested CUP subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in Section 6 of the agenda staff report. 2. Placement of the home is to comply with the following siting criteria from Chapter 36, Section 36-254(c)(5). a. A pitched roof of three (3) in twelve (12) or fourteen (14) degrees or greater. b. Removal of all transport features. c. Permanent foundation. d. Exterior wall finished so as to be compatible with the neighborhood. 9 November 26, 2012 ITEM NO.: D FILE NO.: Z-8807 e. Orientation compatible with placement of adjacent structures. f. Underpinning with permanent materials. g. All homes shall be multisectional. h. Off-street parking per single-family dwelling standard. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 11, 2012) The applicant was present. There was one registered objector present. One letter of opposition had been received. There were only six (6) commissioners present. The Chair offered the applicant an opportunity to defer the item to a later date. The applicant stated she wished to accept the deferral offer. There was no further discussion. A motion was made to defer the item to the November 29, 2012 meeting. The motion was approved by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 noes and 5 absent.
