Keith County approves two conditional‑use permits for single‑wide housing and accessory structure
Summary
The county board approved conditional‑use permits: one for a single‑wide mobile home as employee housing and another allowing an accessory structure before the primary dwelling, both recommended by the planning commission.
The Keith County Board of Commissioners approved two conditional‑use permits (CUPs) recommended by the county planning commission.
The first CUP, filed by John Holzfaster, permits placement of a single‑wide mobile home in an agricultural district at 242 Road East (southeast quarter of 11‑123‑6158.17A) for employee housing. The planning commission had recommended approval; the board approved the permit by motion.
The second CUP, filed by David Watson and Christine Pawson for Lots 2 and 3, Epperson Place (commonly 501 W. Highway 92), permits an accessory structure to be built before construction of the primary dwelling in a Rural Residential 2 zoning district. The applicants submitted an interior layout and a timetable stating they would build the primary home within two years; the planning commission recommended approval and the board granted the CUP.
Both applications followed required notice: property owners within 300 feet were notified. Cody, the zoning administrator, confirmed the applications included appropriate fees and documents and that neither site lies in a designated flood plain. Motions to approve were seconded and passed by roll call.
