Jolene Singer and Jeff Wadley
Garfield County Resolution No. 90-085 added to the 1988 Uniform Building Code,section lOa(e)1., Moved Building and temporary Buildings, the following lirguage:
l ' To allow a homeowner-builder to. reside at a permitted residential building siteduring active construction. Housing in the n"trrc of mobile homes, campers ,and recreational vehicles will be allowed for a period of six (6) months andmay be renewed for an additional six (6) month period, but in no case for morethan a total of one(l) year.
2' Temporary housing shall be located only on a constnrction site for which abuilding permit has been issued and the inhabitants on that site shall be onlythe owner-builder.

4.
Temporary housing shall be maintained in a clean, sanitary and safe condition.owner shall submit proof of water supply and proposed method of se*ale
-
treatment. Individual sewage may have to be installed and approved bedrepermit will be issued.
Permits to be allowed only in zone districts with tno (2) acre minimum lot
sizes.
The applicants are requesting that the requirement of two acre lot size be modified toallow them to request a temporary mobill home permit for a lot zoned R/L/UD. TheR/L/UD zone district has a minimum lot size or isoo sq. ft..
l.
2.
Zoning: Mobile homes are only allowed ass a temporary use, previously
permitted use or nonconforming use in every zone district, except the R-MH/G/UD zone district. As a temporary use, it is necessary to make sure thatthe mobile homo is placed on the property in a manner that complies withzoning and building code regurations required of any permanent use. The two(2) acre minimum lot size allows for the placement of " temporary unit and
the permanent dwelling on the same lot, without any variances from thesotback requirements from lot lines. Tho proposed amendment to the building
code will require a need for variances to setback requirements for zoning toaccommodate two units on a 7500 sq. ft. lot,
ISDS Regulations: Most subdivisions with lots less than two acres in size havecentral water and sewer systems. In this case, the cooperton area only hascentral water available and an ISD system for sewage disposal.. ThaISDs
regulations require some very specific setbacks rrom aweliings, property linesand other ISD systems on adjoining or nearby lots. There are no variances that
') /-
oan be granted from these regulations since thoy are established by the State
Water Quality Control Commission and are the minimums necessary for the
use of an ISDS. Given the size of the lots in Cooperton, it appears that it may
be impossible to place a mobile home artd build a house on the same property
meoting the requirod setbacks.
Qther Comments: It appears that the only way this type of permit can work is
if a person owns more than one lot and can locate the dwellings on separate
lots. Given that need, the following language would address the previously
noted issues and still allow for tho temporary use of a mobile home on a lot
less than two (2) acres:
's Permits to be allowed only in zone districts with two (2) acre minimum lot
sizes or on lots less than two (2) acres if all zoning, building and
environmental health rogulation requirements can be met on a single lot or a
c,,ombination of adjoining lots under the same ownership. "
Public Comments: Enclosed is a letter from Walter Robsrts, objecting to the
proposed change in the subdivision regulations. (See pg.-Qj
