OLD BUSINESS: There was no old business to discuss. NEW BUSINESS: VARIANCE To allow a mobile home on property. 1501 Northington Road F.A.R. Zoning District (Forest, Agricultural, Recreation) David & Sandra Northington, Petitioners Mr. Duke introduced the request for a variance to allow a mobile home on the property at 1501 Northington Road. He stated the petitioner’s request to install a mobile home as an accessory use on a lot used for single family residential. He stated that the property is in a FAR zoned district and read Section 9 of the zoning ordinance “Structures. (General.) It is the intent of this ordinance, that there shall be but one (1) main structure on any lot zoned or used for single-family residential purposes; also, accessory structures shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the total floor area of any main structure. No accessory structure shall be used as living quarters; however, protective shelters may provide temporary living quarters in times of danger or emergency.” Sandra Northington along with David Northington, petitioners, presented the request to place a mobile home on property at 1501 Northington Road. She stated that the mobile home would be used to house her mother, Judy Ryals and her husband who provides care giving assistance to her. She stated that currently there is a pole barn where a recreational vehicle is parked, they plan to move the rv and place the mobile home in its location. Mr. Northington stated that they own approximately five acres separated into three parcels. He stated that it is difficult to combine all three lots into one at this time because of the mortgage agreement. He stated that there are multiple properties around the area that have mobile homes on them. He stated that they talked with adjacent property owners who are not opposed to their request. Vice-Chair Miles asked Mr. Duke about the split properties with one address. Mr. Duke replied that there is one main dwelling located at 1501 Northington Road. He stated that it is recommended that Approved 4/10/18 Prattville Board of Zoning Adjustment March 13, 2018 Minutes Page 2 of 3 the lots be platted into one. He stated that the request is being treated as an accessory structure. He stated that replatting is not required since no structure is proposed to cross between property lines. Vice-Chairman Miles opened the public hearing. There were none to speak. The public hearing was closed. Vice-Chairman Miles opened discussion for the board. The Board’s discussion concentrated on whether the use should be restricted to a specific occupant. The Nothingtons stated that they would remove the mobile home once the assistance is no longer required. There being no further discussion, Mr. Parker moved to establish the findings of fact stating that 1) that special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands structures, or buildings in the same zoning district; 2) that a literal interpretation of the zoning ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of the zoning ordinance; 3) that granting of a variance is in harmony with the intent and purposes of the zoning ordinance; and 4) that a variance will not adversely affect the surrounding property, the general neighborhood, or the community as a whole. Mrs. Schannep seconded the motion. The motion to approve the findings of fact passed unanimously. The vote was called. Mr. Parker moved to approve the request as submitted based on the approved findings of fact contingent that occupancy of the structure is restricted to Harold and Judy Ryals, and said approval expires when the Ryals no longer occupy the unit or when David & Sandra Northington no longer owns the property. An annual report from the Northingtons is required to be submitted to the Planning Department on the anniversary date of this approval. Mr. Crosby seconded the motion. The motion to approve passed unanimously. The BZA voted to approve the variance to allow a mobile home on property at 1501 Northington Road with contingencies.

Elizabeth Young, petitioner, along with her son, John Young, presented the request to place a carport over the driveway. The carport was enclosed years ago to accommodate their large family. Ms. Young stated that there is a canopy over the door. Mr. Parker asked if the carport could be reopened. Ms. Young stated that it would very costly to reopen the carport.
