a case.
2. Case C 10 -31
Request for conditional use approval to allow the location of a manufactured
home in a Single Family Residential (SF -1) District
4216 Iowa Park Road
Chad and Brandi Wilson requested the placement of a new 32 'x 86' manufactured home on a
21 -acre tract of land located at 4216 Iowa Park Road. The applicants currently own a
contractor's yard at this location. They wish to locate this home towards the rear of the property
in order to reside there. The Planning staff recommended approval with the condition that brick
or stone skirting be constructed around the base of the home.
P & Z COMMISSION October 13, 2010
Five (5) surrounding property owners were notified of this request. No (0) replies were
received.
Mr. Wilson, the property owner, requested the use of a steel composite deck for the front of the
manufactured house, in lieu of the brick skirting, and stone landscaping to further screen the
base of the house. He stated the manufactured home will set back approximately 1,300 feet
from the front of the property and the recommended skirting would not be visible. Mr. Wilson
requested an allowance for additional time of 90 days to complete the decking and landscaping.
In order to comply, he would need the brick skirting to be completed prior to occupancy permit
issuance.
Mr. Taylor questioned the recommendation of brick skirting. Mr. Tate stated the base of the
manufactured house would not be visible from the street due to the distance. He felt the use of
brick skirting, in this case, was not necessary. Mr. Wilson concluded by saying this additional
work would create a "custom" appearance.
Chairman Nelson suggested an amendment to the original motion to address Mr. Wilson's two
requests. Ms. Payne made a motion to approve the conditional use with the condition the
applicant be granted 90 days beyond issuance of the occupancy permit for the installation of
the decking, stone work, and landscaping in lieu of brick skirting. Mr. Stephenson seconded
and the motion carried.

a package liquor store at 5316 Southwest Parkway. The site is currently vacant and is close to
the northwest corner of Southwest Parkway and Barnett Road. The site plan indicates a drive -
thru window on the west side of the building.
Eighteen (18) surrounding property owners were notified of this request. Two (2) responded in
favor, and six (6) responded opposed.
Chairman Nelson asked what type of alcohol permit the adjacent convenience store currently
holds. Mr. Odom stated they have a wine and beer license.
Mr. Kidwell made a motion to approve this request; Mr. Stephenson seconded. The vote was
