COUNTY" DIVISION III PERMIT
STAFF REPORT
HEARING DATE: May 12, 2014

CASE NUMBER: 2014-0003

PROJECT: W alkington Affordable Housing

APPLICANTS: Nathan & Am y Burton

LOCATION: The subject property is located in the 500 - 600 Block
of W alkington Lane, Branson, MO; Scott Township;
Section 34, Township 23, Range 21.

REQUEST: The applicants, Nathan & Am y Burton are requesting
approval of a Division III Permit authorizing the
developm ent of the W alkington Affordable Housing
project, a mobile home park allowing for up to 149
mobile home spaces, with an associated outdoor
storage and parking area.

BACKGROUND and SITE HISTORY:

The applicants have indicated that the W alkington Affordable Housing developm ent will
be located upon two (2) adjoining parcels of land, with a total acreage of approximately
23.36 acres (per the property boundary survey). The first parcel of land (08-8.0-34-000­
000-050.001) is an approxim ately 19.5 acres (per the A ssessor’s information) vacant
parcel of land. The second parcel of property (08-8.0-34-000-000-050.000) is an
approxim ately 6.14 acre vacant parcel of property (per the A ssessor’s information).

The current application was approved for Concept on March 17, 2014.

On April 14, 2014 during the Public Hearing the Planning Commission voted to table the
application until May 12, 2014, in order to allow the applicant time to revise the
submitted site plan (Property Boundary Survey).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The proposed W alkington Affordable Housing developm ent will be located on a total of
+/- 23.36 acres (per the property boundary survey). This affordable housing
developm ent will provide for up to 149 spaces for mobile homes, with a density of over
six (6) mobile homes per acre.

REVIEW:

The Developm ent Guidance Code defines a Mobile Home Park as, “A tract of land used
to accom m odate three (3) or more mobile homes that remains under a single
ownership. The units within the park are referred to as "spaces".”

As of the date of the writing of this staff report, the applicant has not subm itted a revised
site plan.

The W alkington Affordable Housing developm ent is a mobile home park which will
provide up to 149 mobile home spaces, with an associated outdoor storage and parking
area. A t 149 mobile home spaces, the developm ent would have a density of over six
(6) mobile homes per acre. Per the provisions of Appendix L (Mobile Homes) of the
Developm ent Guidance Code the maximum density for a mobile home park shall not
exceed eight (8) mobile homes per acre.

Per the provisions of Table J-1 (On-site Parking Perform ance Standards) of the
Developm ent Guidance Code, two (2) parking spaces are required per home unit with
one (1) additional space for every two (2) home units as guest spaces. The staff is
concerned that the current configuration may allow for adequate parking only when
factoring in the Storage and Parking Area (enumerated Tract C on the submitted
Property Boundary Survey).

The area in question is currently served by the Taney County Regional Sewer District.
The Taney County Regional Sewer District will require the applicant to obtain a capacity
analysis via the Sewer District’s engineering firm, at the applicant’s cost.

The area in question is served by a public w ater supply via the Taney County Public
W ater Supply District #2.

W alkington Lane is a County maintained road until approxim ately the location of its
intersection with North Fork Road. The driving surface of W alkington Lane narrows
rapidly on the portion that is privately m aintained. The applicants have indicated that
they will ensure that the private portion of W alkington Lane falls within a 50 foot right-of-
way. The staff is recommending that the applicants make the necessary upgrades to
the portion of W alkington Lane that is currently privately held and maintained, ensuring
compliance with Taney County Road & Bridge Standards.

A portion of the property in question, currently contains a spillway area for Holt’s Lake,
which feeds into an unnamed creek that discharges into Lake Taneycomo. Although
this area is not recognized by FEMA as a Special Flood Hazard Areas (floodplain), the
staff recomm ends that a fifty (50) foot wide riparian buffer be established along the
existing unnamed creeks with traverse the property, allowing absolutely no developm ent
within this buffer area.

The adjoining property to the north and east is predom inantly vacant and light
residential. The adjoining property to the south is the Cedarwood Acres residential
subdivision, with the W oodlands at Cross Creek residential subdivision being located
further to the south. The adjoining property to the west is the Spring Meadows
residential subdivision, property previously approved for a daycare use (via Division III
Permit 2009-0016) and property previously approved for a storage use (via Division III
Permit 2008-0051B).

Per the provisions of Appendix L (Mobile Homes) of the Developm ent Guidance Code,
“For developm ents that include tw e n ty-fo u r (24) or more lots or spaces, a minimum of
ten (10) percent of the total area must be developed and maintained for recreational
purposes. This area will count as part of the total open space provided.” The Property
Boundary Survey does enum erate areas of green space; however the am ount of green
space area is not indicated.

The project received a score of -12 on the Policy Checklist, out of a maximum possible
score of 63. The relative policies receiving a negative score consist of em ergency water
supply, solid waste disposal service, off-site nuisances, use compatibility, underground
utilities, preservation of critical areas and traffic.

 I demand that the Planning and Zoning Commission not allow the mobile home park to be built
off of Walkington Lane behind Cedarwood Acres subdivision. Walkington Lane would not be
sufficient for the amount of traffic flow that would be produced by such an establishment. The
additional noise, dust, and lights that would be produced by vehicles and homes would be a
disturbance as well as an inconvenience to the residents of the subdivision. The property value
of the homes in Cedarwood Acres would greatly decline due to the fact that the proposed
building area is on a downward slope in the midst of a valley, obstructing the back porch view of
every home in the vicinity. Other potential issues (to name a few) that may arise from the
building plans would be as follows: Set back regulations, wastewater, parking, incompatible with
surrounding use, and an insufficient buffer zone.

April 14, 2014. Thank you in advance for taking this time to "hear" me.

My 80 acre parcel, with residence, borders the proposed development on the east. I have both open
pasture/hay field and woods along the north-south common property line with Mr. Burton's proposed
housing.

Please know that I do not discriminate against mobile homes (I have m yself resided in them). While I also
appreciate the affordable housing concept, I find that this proposed development is not respectful of property
owners or residents in proximity. I will explain my position.

This general area o f affected surrounding properties is bounded by State Hwy T on the east, County Road T-
20/Timberlake on the North, and includes Cedarwood Acres and Spring Meadows Subdivisions on the
South. This area is quite unique in several respects. This uniqueness is, in part, what makes the proposed
high-density development impractical and ill advised.

My neighbors of Spring Meadows and Cedarwood Acres will address many valid concerns, and I will try
not to duplicate those points. The specific threats to our established environment, quality o f life and
investments in our homes m ay differ somewhat, but there are many common tangible and intangible issues
we all wish to make sure the Commission is aware of.

This land area presents at least two physical characteristics that deserve your attention. First, it is
undeniable that there can be no visual barrier constructed that would mitigate the impact for dozens of
established families. (This will be explained to you at the hearing, and photographs can prove this.) This is
a drastic impact on a visual landscape and environment presently consisting mostly of wooded
"nature". The existing environment would change to the extreme contrast o f a hillside covered with this
type o f developm ent w h ich in clu d es structures that do not "blend" and do not conform to the existin g type o f
these single-family residences.

Secondly, this area does not lend itself to such population and housing density as Mr. Burton would like us
all to believe. The same topography which prevents visual barriers also naturally enhances sound (a
"bowl"; a sort o f natural amphitheater) and which in my opinion is yet another sufficient reason for not
allowing this development. Other residents and I already witness the sound characteristic of being
"heightened", even with the present level of activity normal for the existing residential population. For
example, the sound travel of simply a dog barking, lawn mower and other expected activity is, very
simply, amplified. -

To increase the neighborhood population resulting from this development would be a senous degradation of
our environment, and residents having already invested in and established their homes are reasonable in
expecting it to not change in such a radical fashion. Visually, audibly, financially - and with safety
concerns you will hear of - no citizen, much less such a large group o f citizens - should be so disadvantaged
for the financial gain o f Mr. Burton.

I will be affected similarly in the ways mentioned. There is no buffer proposed for my property and there
would be no visual barrier, leaving direct line-of-sight with my residence. I will lose the privacy and
relative quiet that my family has enjoyed for 70 years. It would cost me considerable money, and a decade
or longer, to establish a natural barrier with mature trees which I could only hope would resemble my
present visual landscape. Even then, such an expensive barrier would not appreciably help with the
increased noise of another two or three hundred people living "next door" - and it would not prevent a
devaluation of as much as 20 percent or more of my land and home, according to real estate professionals.

It could be that the impact to all o f us is just not important to Mr. Burton as a developer. He isn't proposing
an idea like this on land I believe he or his family owns, because it is where he lives. I don't believe Mr.
Burton will ever place a development such as this one across the road from his own residence. I find it
interesting that he has chosen this "pocket o f land" for his venture rather than on available land across the
road from his own residence or other property he or his family owns. (I have no doubt, should he be asked
these questions, that he will appear to have "good" reasons.)

A “reasonable man” would not choose such an unlikely or undeserving location for a planned alteration of
an existing residential environment. I suggest that it is more likely there would be greater compatibility on
the other land mentioned, or elsewhere, but it would not serve Mr. Burton's best business or personal
interests.

Thank you for your efforts and interest in serving the public. W e know that the support of affordable
housing to satisfy the needs o f some was never intended or expected to disadvantage others. We all look
forward with confidence that you will decide in the interests o f our community.

Mr. Atchley,

I attended the zoning hearing on April 14 concerning the N athan Burton request.
The video presented at the meeting followed the Walkington Lane portion o f the
proposed development. I would like to request that prior to the meeting on May
12, you take a video from the Cedar W ood Avenue side o f the development and
include some o f the homes which would be adjacent to the mobile home park and
also the slope o f the hillside for the proposed development.

I believe that this will give the Commission and the public attendees a better un­
derstanding o f the nature and impact o f the proposed development.

I appreciate your consideration.

Thank you,

Mike Mansker
