II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site_Degcripltqq: The site is a relatively flat parcel that
"Iop"" gentfy Fiom the north to the south. The pioperty has a
number of improvements on it, including a restaurant and mobile
home park.
B. Erojgct_DescLiplion: It is proposed to split the 3.0 acrecommercial lot inLo two parcels of 2.25 acres and 0.75 acres.The proposed split would separate the existing restaurant fromthe mobile home park. The mobile home park would be on the 2.25acre parcel and the restaurant on the 0.75 acre parcel. Themobile home park has 20 spaces with a house and barn on theparcel.
III.MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
zgning: The C/L zone district allows a wide variety of uses onlots no smaller than 7500 sq. ft. (0.17 ac.). The restaurant isa use by right in the zone district and the mobile home park is aspecial use. The mobile home park is a pre-existingT
non-conforming use and may continue indefinitely as long as thereis no major change in circumstances. The 2.25 acre parcer forthe mobile home park meets the minimum lot size requirement of 2acres for a mobile home park, thus there is no increase in thenon-conformiLy.

B.Staff Comments:
Walston Realty has owned the parcel forover 5 years,thus meeting the requirements for a S.B. 35 exemption.
Domestic water is provided to the parcel by theMitchell-cooper Ditch and pipeline company. vlalstonReaIty Corporation has 43.77 shares of the company. Toensure that each parcel continues to have a legal,reliable water source, it is suggested that each deedhave a proportional number of shares assigned to itfrom the ditch and pipeline company.
Presently, access to the mobile home parl< is thru theproposed 0.75 acre restaurant tract. It is proposedthat the existing informal access easements be lega11ydescribed as 20 foot wide access easements on anyfuture deeds and plats. Staff concurs with this
suggest ion .
