Case S-19-012, Walter Raymond Yarboro – Mr. Talbott opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. Mrs.
Hayes, Deputy Director of Community Development, reported that Walter Yarboro had petitioned for a
Special Use Permit on 0.54 of an acre, located on Gap Road, in the Callands-Gretna Election District to
allow for placement of a single-wide mobile home to be used for his son’s residence. She then stated
the Planning Commission recommended by a unanimous vote, with no opposition, that the petitioner’s
request be granted. Garr Yarboro was present to represent the petition. He stated he had nothing to add.
There was no opposition to the petition. Mr. Talbott closed the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. The Board
discussed the petition as the Committee of the Whole. Upon motion of Mr. Merricks, seconded by Mr.
Griffith, the following motion was adopted: Whereas, Walter Raymond Yarboro has petitioned the
Board of Zoning Appeals for a Special Use Permit to allow for placement of a single-wide mobile home
for his son’s residence, and, Whereas, we find no substantial detriment to adjacent property, that the
character of the zoning district will not be changed thereby, and that such use will be in harmony with
the purpose and intent of the Ordinance, I move the Special Use Permit be granted. Motion passed by
a 6 to 0 vote (one (1) member, Mr. Yeaman, was absent).
This concludes the Special Use Permit case.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:13 p.m.
