PID# 1400033001010000 in section 3/ Township 16S/  Range 3W. Acreage. (Site address 5648 Boling Rd., Mt. Olive, 35117)(0.34  Acres +/-)(Mount Olive)]
HEARING. ITEM ON THE AGENDA TODAY IS CASE NUMBER A 260006. PROPERTY OWNERS, CHARLES AND CYNTHIA BRADY. WOULD STAFF PLEASE PRESENT THE CASE? YES, MA'AM. AGAIN, THIS CASE A 26006. 
          IT'S A VARIANCE TO ALLOW A MOBILE HOME IN AN HOUR. ONE SINGLE FAMILY ZONING DISTRICT. 
          THE APPLICANT IS WANTING TO TEAR DOWN THIS HOUSE, WHICH IS YOU CAN SEE IS DILAPIDATED. HE WANTS TO REPLACE IT WITH A MOBILE HOME ON THAT PROPERTY. HOWEVER, IF YOU LOOK AT OUR CURRENT ZONING MAP, THIS, ALL THIS IN THAT GOLDISH GREENISH YELLOW IS R ONE. A ONE IS OVER HERE TO THE SIDE. EACH SIDE TO THE EAST AND THE WEST. SECTION 60502 IS THE USE REGULATION FOR SINGLE FAMILY ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW FOR MOBILE HOMES. HOWEVER, THERE ARE TWO MOBILE HOMES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS ROAD. THEY ARE EXISTING IN A ONE ZONING DISTRICT WHICH ALLOWS BY RIGHT MOBILE HOMES TO. BE BUILT ON THOSE PROPERTIES OR MOVED TO THOSE PROPERTIES. THE AREA YOU VIEW, YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE THE TWO MOBILE HOMES, ONE WITH A VACANT LOT IN BETWEEN THEM. ON THE OTHER ROAD. THE FUTURE LAND USE FOR THIS AREA IS SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL, MEANING IT'S INTENDED FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCE. AGAIN, IT'S ABOUT THE LIGHTEST .34 ACRES AND IT'S JUST LARGE. IT'S A R1H TRACKS BESIDE IT. IT LIES NEAR DEAD END STREET AND ALL PROPERTIES ON THE STREET AND ALL PROPERTIES ADJACENT ARE ALL ONE SINGLE FAMILIES. AGAIN, THERE ARE TWO MOBILE HOMES AND NON-CONFORMING A1 TRACTS IN THE AREA. THE. THERE IS PRECEDENT FOR THE ZONING ADJUSTMENT BOARD SINCE 2000. THERE HAVE BEEN NINE REQUESTS TO PLACE MORE HOMES IN R-1 ZONING DISTRICTS TO REQUEST WERE DENIED. ONE REQUEST WAS WITHDRAWN AT THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE HAVE TWO OF THOSE REQUESTS WHICH WERE GRANTED FOR A TEMPORARY POINT OF TIME, BUT THEY WERE. HOWEVER, THEY WERE ALREADY EXISTING AT THE TIME THAT THE VARIANCES WERE APPROVED, AND TWO REQUESTS WERE TO ALLOW MODULAR HOMES, WHICH, WITH OUR NEW REGULATIONS THAT WERE JUST IMPLEMENTED BY RIGHT MODULAR HOMES, WE TREAT THOSE AS RESIDENTIAL, LIKE STICK BUILT HOMES BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO COME UP TO BUILDING CODES. THERE ALSO WERE TWO CASES WERE ALLOWED FOR A RESTRICTED PERIOD OF TIME, WHILE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS WERE BEING CONSTRUCTED, ONE WAS DENIED AND THE OTHER CASE WAS APPROVED. FOR TWO YEARS. SINCE THE APPLICANT IS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S AGAINST THE R ONE ZONING, DISTRICT STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF CASE A 26006. THANK YOU SIR. DOES ANY

MEMBER OF THE BOARD HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT REGARDING THIS CASE? NO. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? YES AND YEAH. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME FORWARD? YES. AND PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. CHARLES BRADY I USE THAT AS MY LEGAL ADDRESS. 5648 BOWLING ROAD. I USE STILL USE THAT AS MY LEGAL ADDRESS. SO WE HAVE TWO LETTERS WHO ARE OPPOSED TO YOUR REQUEST. AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ZONING. ARE YOU AWARE OF THOSE LETTERS? NO. NOW, I HAD SOME SQUATTERS ON THE PROPERTY THAT I HAD PUT OFF THERE, AND GO AHEAD. WELL, THESE ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE HOMES THERE, AND THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT THAT CHANGING THE ZONING OVER HOW IT WOULD AFFECT THEIR PROPERTY. WELL, I HAVE A LETTER HERE WHERE I HAVE SIX SIGNATURES FROM NEIGHBORS THAT IT'S IMMEDIATELY ON THAT ROAD. 
          THERE'S ONLY THREE HOUSES ON THAT ROAD BESIDES MINE. AND THIS IS PEOPLE THAT SIGNED AND LEFT THEIR PHONE NUMBER SAID THEY ARE FOR THE VARIANCE BECAUSE I LIVE, I'VE LIVED THERE 55 YEARS. I GREW UP THERE AND BEEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT. ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT I WANT TO PUT A TRAILER THERE AND MOVE BACK THERE, AS WE'VE BEEN LIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER AND THEY RECENTLY PUT MY WIFE ON HOSPICE AND I GOT ONE DAUGHTER THAT LIVES TWO MILES ONE WAY FROM THAT, FROM THAT AREA. AND THEN I GOT ANOTHER DAUGHTER THAT LIVES A MILE AND A HALF THE OTHER WAY. SO SEE, WE'D BE CENTRALLY LOCATED FOR THEM TO HELP WITH MY WIFE. OKAY. ANY OTHER MEMBERS? Y'ALL WANT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT MODULAR? AND, I MEAN, THE HOUSE IS FALLING DOWN, SO. I MEAN, I'M TRYING TO UPGRADE IT. AND YOU SEE BY THE PICTURE OF THE HOUSE, I'M STILL KEEPING THE GRASS CUT AND ALL THAT. EVEN THOUGH I HADN'T BEEN STAYING THERE. I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER AND SHE HAD A HOUSE FIRE. MY GRANDSON DECIDED TO COOK CHICKEN FINGERS AND GO LAY DOWN AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT IS YOUR OBJECTION TO A MODULAR VERSUS MOBILE? WELL, THE THING I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MODULAR. IT'S JUST I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUILD A BRAND NEW HOME. NOW, I LOOKED AT MODULAR HOMES, TOO. I DON'T HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MODULAR, JUST IT FITS WITHIN MY BUDGET. I'LL BE GLAD TO DO IT. YEAH, BECAUSE MODULAR WOULD FIT INTO THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS. RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I MEAN, IF I CAN FIND A MODULAR IN MY WHERE I CAN AFFORD IT. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS, I FOUND A TWO BEDROOM MODULAR, BRAND NEW FOR $50,000. AND BY THE TIME I GOT WITH THEM, THEY CALLED ME BACK. THEY'D DONE SOLD IT. BUT YOU KNOW, I I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THEM. OKAY. AND THAT MAY BE A SOLUTION, SIR, IF YOU CAN. AND BY THE WAY, BE PRAYING FOR YOUR WIFE. I KNOW THAT'S A TOUGH SITUATION FOR YOU. YES. IT'S, YOU KNOW, A FULL TIME JOB. AND ALSO, I JUST WANT YOU TO BE AWARE THAT I KNOW THEY CHANGED THE ZONING, BUT WHERE THAT SECOND PARKING LOT IS ON MY ROAD AT THE TOP OF IT, WHERE THAT CHURCH IS, THEY HAD TWO TRAILERS IN THE L SHAPE UP THERE TILL THE LATE 90S, AND THAT MAY BE LIKE THE GENTLEMAN SAID, THOUGH, THAT WAS BEFORE THIS VARIANCE. OUR FOR THE RIGHT THERE THOSE OF THE SUBDIVISION. BUT I MEAN, IT WAS THERE SINCE WE MOVED IN IN 73 TO THE LATE 90S. THAT WAS A ELDERLY COUPLE AND THEIR SON LIVED THERE UNTIL THE LATE 90S. OKAY. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO SAY, SIR? NO, I JUST I MEAN, ME AND MY WIFE TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN, AND THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, GET HER SETTLED IN THAT WAY. THAT'S A, YOU KNOW, SINGULAR PLACE WHERE WE COULD BE WHERE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE NIGHT. I COULD GET MY DAUGHTERS THERE QUICK TO US. 
          RIGHT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS, LIKE ONE OF THE LADIES ON THE BOARD, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK INTO THOUGH, IS THE THE MODULAR. BUT ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? THANK YOU SIR. OKAY. OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. IF THERE'S NO
