Mr. Kennedy indicated he currently lives in a mobile home on his <br />property and is in the process of constructing a single family dwelling. He <br />indicated that staff has stated that he will need a conditional use permit to <br />continue living in his mobile home. Mr. Kennedy indicated that the time it takes <br />to go through the process for a conditional use permit will cause him a delay in <br />finishing his house. <br /> <br />steve Ach indicated that the purpose of the city's existing ordinance is to ensure <br />the removal of the mobile home once the dwelling is constructed. He further <br />indicated that Mr. Kennedy's situation is different in that he is currently living in the <br />mobile home prior to beginning construction on his house and, therefore, could <br />have a condition of the building permit to remove the mobile home when the <br />new home is completed. <br /> <br />Peter Beck indicated that the city would be able to execute a document and <br />have it signed by the Kennedys to assure that there are not two dwellings <br />remaining on the property. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Council to allow the Kenl1edyst() remainin their <br />mobile home while constructing their single family dwelling and that the mobile <br />home shall be removed following completion of the single family dwelling. <br /> <br />8.1. <br /> <br />Variance Request bv Dennis and Arlene Mootz, Public Hearinq, Case No. V 95-4 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />City Planner Steve Ach indicated that the applicant is requesting an eight foot <br />front yard setback variance from County Road 33 right-of-way to accommodate <br />a detached 14 foot by 20 foot garage.
