NAME: McVay Multisectional Manufactured Home —
Conditional Use Permit
LOCATION: 13324 Colonel Glenn Road
OWNER/APPLICANT: Earl McVay
PROPOSAL: A conditional use permit is requested to allow for
placement of a multisectional manufactured home on
this R-2 zoned, 1 acre lot.
SITE LOCATION:
The property is located outside of the city limits, in the City's extraterritorial
jurisdiction. The site is located on the north side of Colonel Glenn Road,
approximately 3/ mile west of Lawson Road.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD:
The property is located outside of the city limits, in an area that is rural and
primarily residential in use. Uses in the area include a variety of single
family residences on varying sizes of properties. There are also larger
tracts of undeveloped properties. Home styles range from modest,
one-story frame or brick homes to very large, estate -type residences.
The proposed multisectional manufactured home has a horizontal siding
exterior, a front porch and a pitched, metal roof. The style is not out of
character with other homes in the area.
Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located
within 200 feet of the site. There is no neighborhood association in
this area.
3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING:
The single family residence requires one on -site parking space. The site
contains an existing driveway with access to a detached, two -care carport.
There is more than sufficient space for on -site parking.

No comments.

information was needed. The applicant was asked to provide the model year of
the manufactured home. In response to a question, the applicant stated the new
home would be tied onto the existing septic system. Staff noted the siting criteria
from Section 36-254(d) (5). The applicant was directed to contact the local VFD
to obtain a statement of acknowledgement and acceptance of the proposed
manufactured home.

Public Works staff discussed the right-of-way dedication requirement. Other
Agency Comments were noted.
The applicant was instruct to provide responses to staff comments by January 10,
2018. The Committee forwarded the item to the full Commission.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The R-2 zoned, 1 acre tract located at 13324 Colonel Glenn Road is located
outside of the city limits, within the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction. A
single -wide manufactured home was located on the property for many years.
In June 2017, that home burned. The property owners removed the vestiges of
the previous home and recently placed a multisectional manufactured home on
the property. The home has been placed in the location on the property
previously occupied by the single -wide. A conditional use permit should have
been obtained prior to placing the new home on the property. City staff became
aware of the violation and instituted enforcement. The applicants filed the CUP
to allow the home to remain.
As previously mentioned, the new home has been placed on the property in
the location occupied by the previous home. A septic system was in place and
is being used for the new home. The new home is a 2005 model, 28 X 66,
two -section structure. The home has a colored, standing seam, metal roof. The
exterior is horizontal siding. A front porch has been added. The site also
contains a detached accessory structure, which includes a two -car carport.
Staff is supportive of the requested CUP. As noted earlier, housing types in the
general area range from similarly -sized, one-story ranch style homes to large,
multistory, estate -type homes. This one-story, ranch style home is similar in
style and orientation to other homes in the area. The home must be brought
into compliance with the siting criteria of Section 36-254(d) (5) which include
the requirements to remove all transport elements and to install underpinning
with permanent materials. The required right-of-way dedication will result in a
substantially reduced front yard setback. It is highly unlikely that any actual
physical widening of the roadway will occur in the near future. If deemed
necessary at that time, the home can be moved back. 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 Sections 5 and 6 of
the agenda staff report.

2. Compliance with the following siting criteria from Chapter 36, Section 36-254(d)
(5):
a. A pitched roof of three (3) in twelve (12) or fourteen (14) degrees or greater.
b. Removal of all transport elements.
c. Permanent foundation.
d. Exterior wall finished so as to be compatible with the neighborhood.
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.
Staff recommends approval of the reduced front yard setback once the required
right-of-way for Colonel Glenn Road is dedicated.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 25, 2018)
The applicants were present. There was one registered objector present. Staff
presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outline in the "staff
recommendation" above.
Earl McVay, the applicant, addressed the commission. He stated he did not
know he could not bring the new home in to replace the one which had burned.
He stated the new structure was a nice home.
Bobbie Highfill, of 13527 Col. Glenn Rd., spoke in opposition. She presented
photographs of the McVay property showing that it was not being maintained
in a clean manner. Ms. Highfill presented a list indicating that there had been
54 police responses to this property when the previous structure has been on
the property. She said there were problems with the previous tenants and the
property was a nuisance. Ms. Highfill stated the property was a rental and the
McVay's did not live there. She described the property as trashy and overgrown
and said a bigger home would only mean bigger problems.
Mr. McVay said he was working to clean up the property and to make
improvements when he was issued a notice by the City. He said he stopped
work until the CUP issue was resolved.
Commissioner May asked if there was code enforcement (premise) in the area.
Staff responded that the city had zoning and subdivision jurisdiction in the ETJ
but not other code enforcement.
Commissioner Thomas asked how long it would take to make the improvements
called for in the staff recommendation. Staff responded that they would advise
Mr. McVay not to make any further improvements until the appeal period had
expired.
