CONSIDER MOBILE HOME PERMIT, ZPMH #2336, FOR A MOBILE HOME TO BE USED AS A
TEMPORARY USE DURING A MEDICAL HARDSHIP - DONALD WROBLEWSKI: Wendy Inloes,
Department of Planning Services,stated the applicant is proposing to use a camper trailer as a temporary
use during a medical hardship. She gave a brief description of the location of the site, and stated staff
recommends denial of this request because the structure does not meet the definition of a mobile home.
In response to Commissioner Vaad, Ms. Inloes reiterated the proposed structure is classified as a
recreational vehicle and does not meet definition of mobile home. She stated it is connected to sewer and
a well has been approved and permitted by the Division of Water Resources. Responding further to
Commissioner Vaad, Ms. Inloes stated the Board did approve a similar request in the Town of Galeton;
however, it was only for six months until the structure could be removed to address a violation. In
response to Commissioner Geile, Ms. Inloes stated the medical hardship has been validated for Mr.
Wroblewski's mother, Sally Wroblewski; however, the applicant has indicated they also intend to house
Ms. Wroblewski's mother, and that was not reflected in the application materials.
Eileen Wroblewski, applicant, stated they plan to use this 8-foot by 33-foot trailer because their mothers
cannot maneuver the stairs in their home. She explained the mothers only stay with them for three to four
months of the year, they do not cook in the trailer, and the addition was constructed to give them more
living room. Responding to Commissioner Masden, Ms. Wroblewski stated the mothers stay with other
children for the remainder of the year. Responding to Commissioner Vaad, Mr. Barker stated the
information is in order; however, the Board will need to determine whether this recreational vehicle will be
allowed as a temporary use when it does not meet the definition of a mobile home. Ms.Wroblewski stated
the addition can be detached and moved, but it does not have wheels. She further stated the addition is
accessible through an internal doorway, it is carpeted, and has skylights. Mr. Barker stated the testimony
indicates the recreational vehicle has been modified so that it could not easily be used for recreational
purposes. Responding to Commissioner Vaad, Ms.Wroblewski stated originally they did not get building
permits; however,the structure has since been inspected, it is connected to a septic system,there are no
holding tanks, and the water source has been approved. In response to Chair Long, Ms. Wroblewski
stated while the mothers are gone, the structure is only used to house an occasional guest, and they do
not rent it.
Ken Fudge, surrounding property owner, expressed concern with the proposal and the number of
residences which are using the well. He stated there is a significant difference between a fifth-wheel trailer
and a mobile home. He also requested the Board clarify that this permit is for the existing structure and
will not allow further mobile homes on the site. He stated fifth-wheel campers are not very well suited for
persons with limited mobility. Ms. Inloes stated the well has been permitted for two dwellings, and this
permit would address the existing violation, not permit a new structure. Ms. Wroblewski stated their
property is 13 acres in size, and they also park their fifth-wheel camper on the site, which they use for
recreational purposes in the summer. She further stated the structure is not a fifth-wheel, and it is all on
one level. There being no further comments, Chair Long closed public testimony.
Commissioner Vaad commented based on the described modifications, he feels this structure can be
classified as a mobile home, and added it is permitted on a temporary basis. Commissioner Vaad moved
to approve Mobile Home Permit,ZPMH#2336 for Donald Wroblewski,with the Conditions of Approval as
presented by staff. Commissioner Masden seconded the motion. In response to Chair Long, Ms.
Wroblewski stated she has reviewed and agrees with the Conditions of Approval. Commissioner Masden
clarified this will be reviewed administratively on an annual basis,so any future concerns of Mr. Fudge can
be addressed at that time if the situation changes. There being no further discussion, the motion carried
unanimously.

CONSIDER MOBILE HOME PERMIT, ZPMH #2346, FOR A MOBILE HOME TO BE USED AS A
PRINCIPAL DWELLING -JAIME RINCON: Ms. Inloes gave a brief description of the location of the site,
and stated this matter has been brought for Board consideration because the applicant was unable to
obtain the required signatures from 70 percent of the surrounding property owners. She stated staff
recommends approval of this request, and she requested Condition#3 be amended to replace the word
"septic" to"sewage." Responding to Commissioner Masden, Ms. Inloes stated this mobile home will be
used for normal residential use and it will be the only structure on the parcel. Mr. Rincon was present to
answer any questions of the Board. In response to Commissioner Vaad, Ms. Inloes reiterated due to the
density of East Eaton, the applicant had difficulty contacting the required number of surrounding property
owners, and they did not receive any indication of an objection to this proposal. In response to
Commissioner Geile, Mr. Rincon stated Kristle Gallegos is the current owner and he is purchasing the
property. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Commissioner Vaad moved to approve
Mobile Home Permit,ZPMH#2346,with the Conditions of Approval as presented by staff. His motion also
included an amendment to Condition#3 to replace the word "septic"with"sewage." Commissioner Geile
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
