Kindley said that this is all they have and would probably build later in the future . **Arguments Against Granting the Request Jerry Hartman, Chapelwood Road Extension, said that he didn' t have a problem with Mr. Kindley allowing his daughter to live on his property but he felt if the property was to be deeded out it should be required that a more permanent residence be located on the new site . Hartman said that if this division was allowed and a double wide mobile home or site built home not require, other lot owners may want to do this for their children in the future . Hartman expressed concern if this did happen, Chapelwood Road Extension may then have the appearance of a mobile home park. Planning Director Hal Johnson asked Kinley if it was really necessary to divide the property at this time or would he be willing to allow the tract to remain as is, if the Board agreed to �-- allow him to locate an accessary mobile home on the property (for family use) , and then bring the request back to the Board at such time when a more +�- permanent residence is being developed. Kinley agreed to this. **Board Discussion: Conclusions Based on Findings of Fact The Board felt a good compromise had been reached by all parties concerned. **Order of the Board of Adjustment Bill Dorsett made the motion, seconded by Lynden Craven, to deny the request as written but to allow Kinley to locate an accessory mobile home for family purposes on the tract (with no division of property) . The motion passed unanimously. 5. There were 9 people present for this meeting. The meeting adjourned.
