The applicants are proposing to move the new mobile home hardship from the approved location along the north boundary of the property to a location near the center of the parcel. The applicants are also requesting to make the new hardship mobile home the permanen~ dwelling when the hardship is no longer necessary and remove the older dwelling at that time. Staff concludes that the reduction of special setback is necessary due to the size of the lot and the fact that the approved hardship could not otherwise be provided without the dwelling being located within the setback. The proposed new location is an improvement over the setbacks which have already been approved in CU95-76 and also an increase of those of the existing dwelling. Conditions of approval will be placed on this application which will permit the appli- cants to establish the new mobile home as the permanent dwelling when it is no longer necessary to have the hardship mobile home on the property. The proposed location of the new dwelling will actually increase the setbacks of the existing residence from land in farm use. A Removal Agree- ment for the existing dwelling will be required as a condi- tion of approval for this application in lieu of the Agree- ment required by Conditional Use 95-76 which was for the new mobile home. The filing of the Declaratory Statement, and the fact that the applicant's request increases setbacks which already existed, are factors that will reduce the possibility of future conflicts with surrounding farm uses. Therefore, staff finds that the proposal is appropriate and will improve the location of the existing non-farm dwelling in relation t~ the surrounding farm land and reduce its impact on surrounding agricultural activities. r~rt p~ared by: David Epling, Assistant Craig O.
