He feels that it does not fit the criteria of one dwelling unit per 5 acres. Commissioner Dzadovsky asked Mr. Dibas how it would be looked upon if the people living there were ranch hands or cowboys that work on the farm. Mr. Dibas responded that only eight acres would probably not be profitable for cattle or horse. He could understand if they were grandfathered in but there are laws in place and it would still not be agreeable to him. Candace Ross, applicant, addressed the Board and explained the reasons why she is requesting this permit. Commissioner Dzadovsky asked Ms. Ross if she currently has a home on the property and referred to the one house per five acre rule presented by the previous speaker. Candace Ross explained that she was told that as long as it is a family member that a second dwelling is acceptable with certain conditions. Courtney Ross, homeowner and daughter of the applicant, addressed the Board in support of the permit and explained that one of the key factors in selecting this property is that they were told they could build a second home. Commissioner Johnson asked if there any other modular or mobile homes in that area. Courtney Ross explained that there were others in the area. Commissioner Johnson commented it seems like the common thing. Kevin Thomason, 16501 Carlton Adams Road, Ft. Pierce, FL addressed the Board in opposition to the permit and talked about other properties in the area. Commissioner Johnson asked for clarification. Kevin Thomason explained that there are other properties that have more than one home but they are permanent structures or on larger pieces of property. Commissioner Dzadovsky asked staff if this property was located in a Subdivision or Planned Unit Development as referenced in the e-mail. Commissioner Johnson clarified that the subdivision was outside of the 500 yards. 11 1 Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 3, 2013 6:00 PM Staff responded that is correct. She explained that it's considered Lukes Lot Subdivision which has 10 lots and was created in 2002. Most of the lots are 7.5 acres there is no record of any association documents to restrict the uses on those properties. Commissioner Mowery stated that it meets the code requirements and he feels they would be hard pressed not to provide for it. Commissioner Lewis discussed the written objection as it relates to the property being taxed. Commissioner Dzadovsky discussed the issues raised by the neighbors and commented that it does meet the code so the applicant should have the ability to be granted the permit. Commissioner Johnson explained why he concurred with Commissioner Dzadovsky. Commissioner Mowery clarified that there's a difference between a mobile home and a manufactured home. Commissioner Hutchinson commented on the definition of a Class A mobile home and explained it's more like a real home. RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Tod Mowery, District No. 2 SECONDER: Paula A.
