Presently, there is an existing house and a mobile home on the property. The applicants propose to connect the two structures together with an 18 ft. long covered walkway. The mobile home will then be replaced over a period of time by adding sections to it and eventually replacing the structure with a standard stick built home. Both dwellings are provided water from a spring and have an existing individual sewage disposal system. II. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A. Zoning: A two-family dwelling is allowed by Special use permit in A/R/RD zone district. The application is being made to deal with the expansion of a non -conforming use. This application will allow the applicants to make needed improvements to the mobile home and come into conformance with the Zoning Resolution. B. All of the improvements to the mobile home will have to meet the Uniform Building Code and sewage disposal system requirements. C.
