TINY HOMES/RV

 

  • Lawson said a tiny home is like an RV.
  • Lawson said that in the law it does not state that there must be a structure on the property to have an RV on the property.
  • Lawson said they cannot have permanent utilities.
  • Rice asked if there is a time frame, and if we limit the district.
  • Lawson said yes, the time frame is 14 day per 2 months and if they want more time, they must come get a special permit.
  • Lawson said the RV can be parked there all the time as long as someone is not staying there all the time.
  • Rice said he is concerned about an RV being put on a property permanently and they sit there and become junky.
  • Warner said that a tiny home is meant to be more permanent. They are not equipped to drive down the road.
  • Rice said maybe what we ought to do is amend the law to include some other zones and keep them in the AR and A districts.
  • Strand asked how RV properties are taxed.
  • Lawson said they are not; the property is taxed.
  • Strand said he is concerned about the people that have a nice neighborhood and nice homes that’s well maintained, and someone comes and builds something like a tiny home right next to it. He said he doesn’t feel that its right to be able to do that.
  • Lawson said he doesn’t feel that there are properties by the lake to be able to do that, but if we have the right districts it would be fine.
  • Lawson said in the zoning it does say on lakeside properties you can’t park an RV there indefinitely.
  • There was discussion about septic, water and electric for a tiny home if they were to do a community of tiny homes.
