Travis and Ruth Neff requested approval to locate a new manufactured home on a vacant lot in
an RMU district. This neighborhood consists of a mixture of commercial and residential uses as
well as vacant land. Staff recommended approval of this case with the condition that skirting
should be constructed from brick or stone.
Thirteen (13) surrounding property owners were notified of this request; no responses were
received.
P & Z COMMISSION PAGE 4 MARCH 9, 2011
Mr. Neff asked the Commission if he would be permitted to use vinyl skirting constructed to
match the home around the base of the home. He noted that several homes in the area had
this type of skirting.
Mr. Taylor agreed with the vinyl skirting. Mr. Odom stated the brick/stone skirting is not a
requirement but a recommendation from staff. Ms. Payne asked if the brick/stone skirting
would make the home more durable to winds; Mr. Odom replied the recommendation was for
aesthetic purposes.
Mr. Tate made an amended motion to permit the applicant to install matching vinyl veneer for
skirting; remove the brick/stone skirting requirement; and, in the event the vinyl skirting is
disturbed or damaged, it will be reconstructed to its original fagade. Mr. Taylor seconded. The
motion carried.
