Mr. Dunn briefed the Board on BA-5-88, a request by Leroy C. and Nancy Lyon for a Temporary Use Permit to allow the use of a travel trailer as a dwelling unit on their property located at 361 South Royal Palm Road. 8. Chairman asked Board if they had any questions of staff. There were none. He asked if the applicant were present and cared to address the Board. 9. Nancy Lyon added there was one correction to the chronology shown. She stated the unit was not installed until January 4, 1986. They purchased the land on September 7, 1985, and the ordinance was passed September 17, 1985. They did not check with the city regarding any changes and how these might affect their situation. 10. Board asked Mrs. Lyon if she understood information received from the Building Department regarding the mobile home being in noncompliance and if she had contacted them regarding this. 11. Nancy Lyon replied she did not. She had become upset when the Building Department called the unit a "travel trailer" because it had been sold to them as a "park model mobile home. " 12. Board asked applicants if they anticipated being finan- cially able to put a mobile home on the lot within the next nine months. 13. Nancy Lyon answered she thought they would. 14. Board asked what the term "park model " meant to her. 15. Nancy Lyon interpreted a travel trailer as being a self- contained unit, which this one is not. It has to be hooked up to utilities. 16. Board asked staff what was the minimum size for a mobile home. 17. Mr. Newcomer explained the definition of a mobile or manufactured home comes from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He further explained why the appli- cants ' unit is classified as a travel trailer. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES MAY 9, 1988 PAGE THREE 18. Board asked the applicants if they had a title to the unit and how this read. 19. Nancy Lyon answered their title said "travel trailer. " 20. Chairman asked the applicants if they were aware they would have to get a mobile home to place on the property even if they received the Temporary Use Permit. They assured him they were. He asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor of the applicants. 21. Fred Cicco is a property owner near the Lyon 's and stated he is in favor of the permit being granted. 22. Chairman asked if there were any others who wished to favor the application. There were none. He asked if there were any who wished to oppose the application. There were none. He asked for staff recommendation. 23. Mr. Dunn gave staff recommendation and conditions for approval . 24. Chairman asked for any rebuttal from the applicant. 25. Nancy Lyon said the travel trailer being stored on the adjacent lot has been removed. 26. Chairman closed the hearing to the public and asked Board for —• deliberation and motion. 27. Pfeifer/Blatterspiel M/S "I move that BA-5-88, an application for a Temporary Use Permit to allow the use of a travel trailer as a dwelling unit for a period of 9 months maximum, from this date to February 9, 1989, be approved subject to the following conditions• 1. This permit shall be nonrenewable. 2. The property owners shall bring their property into conformance with Section 20.0106(2) of the Apache Junction Zoning Ordinance within sixty (60) days of this action (and that, according to prior information, is in regards to the other travel trailer that was on the property) . BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES MAY 9, 1988 PAGE FOUR 3. This permit shall be revoked if any of these conditions are not adhered to. In granting this Temporary Use Permit, the Board bases its decision on the following findings of fact• 1. The request meets the criteria of a true temporary nature in that the owners will remove the travel trailer prior to, or just at the end of, the 9-month period. 2. The situation does not involve the erection of substantial buildings, thus again meeting a second criteria for a Temporary Use permit. " Motion passed 6-0-0. 28. Chairman told the applicants their request had been approved and they could seek any further instructions from the Building Department to comply within the 9-month period. 29. Pfeifer/Castro M/S "I move we adjourn. " Meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, harles : ewcomer, xecutive Secretary Ken Sanchez, Chairman
