Mr. McCarthy said that fire code and building code restrictions would apply to any new construction and that the state could protect people in such homes through its licensing procedure, but the county cannot add any additional restrictions.
Mr. McCarthy had originally drafted the amendment to allow permanent mobile homes that are at least 19.5 feet wide anywhere in the county that single family dwellings are allowed. The law passed by this year’s General Assembly only required that they be allowed in agriculturally zoned land.
Board of Supervisors’representative Mike Massie said, “I thought it was only agriculture zoning. The conservation zone isn’t an agriculture zone.”
Mr. McCarthy said, “I’m not dead set on keeping them out of the conservation zone. This doesn’t do that much to open up the door.”
Hampton District representative John Clark Jr. said, “If they’re allowed in R-2 and R-5, you could get in a lot. That would be more trouble than allowing them in conservation.”
“There are a lot of 20-foot wide houses in the county,” Dr. Krebser pointed out.
The planners agreed to advertise for the change to allow mobile homes only in agriculturally zoned land, but indicated they might allow them in other zoning categories after the public hearing.
At the meeting the planners also gave approval to the site plan for the new library. Hearings on the Lee family apartment and Settle garage rezoning were postponed until the September meeting.
