and unanimous recommendation of approval.

The North’s application was opposed by a number of their neighbors.

Mrs. North explained that she and Mr. North wished to make their existing home a family apartment for his son, and to put in a double-wide manufactured home as their primary residence.

In his written recommendation for approval, Mr. McCarthy said that while theirs was “a cart before the horse” approach, “the end result is fully compliant in terms of square footage, distances, etc.”

Neighbor James Costello said that the double-wide was not a good solution and suggested that an enlargement of the existing home woul<J be a better approach.

Alnother neighbor, John Allison, joined Mr. Costello in opposing the double-wide solution, and complained too about the number of unregistered vehicles, “overgrown outbuildings,” and clutter on the property.

He said that he “applauded the Norths for trying to keep the family on the property,” but hoped that they would enlarge their home instead of putting a second dwelling on it.

Mrs. North said that they were planning to remove all of the unregistered vehicles, and she explained that the double-wide “looks like a normal home.”

Dr. Krebser noted his concerns with the application: that it would result in two houses on a parcel of under three acres located in an agricultural zone; that the “cart before the horse” aspect would be precedentsetting; and that he did not see any provision for another well or room for an additional septic field.
