The Huntsville Board of Zoning Adjustments rejected Blossomwood neighborhood's request for the removal of property with a prefabricated home for violating the zoning ordinance.
Updated: Oct. 19, 2023, 7:11 a.m.Residents of the Blossomwood neighborhood this spring suddenly found themselves living next to something unusual: a manufactured home constructed with four trailers stacked two-high at 1005 Hermitage Avenue. Five attorneys faced off this week at the Huntsville Board of Zoning Adjustments meeting over a new kind of development in one of the city’s older neighborhoods.
Zoning Administrator Travis Cummings said Tuesday at the board meeting that such modular homes are all over the City and that he did the right thing. The Board agreed with him and rejected the neighbors’ demands, with no member moving any of the five motions board chairman Martin Sisson outlined for the case.
“I have nothing against people trying to make a good investment, but don’t make your investment on everybody else’s expense,” she added.The lot at 1005 Hermitage Avenue.“This really sets a precedent going forward on what can and can’t be done,” he said. “Builders of modular types of homes can come into the future, not just R1B, but other residential areas, pay inflated prices that other people simply cannot afford to pay because they have cheaper homes that they’re putting on these lots.
“But because of this appeal, through no fault of GSH, they’ve been delayed and been prevented from doing that; they’ve been prevented from getting a final certificate of occupancy on this structure,” he added. “So despite their investment, despite their every good intention, despite their reliance on what’s been told to them about this property, they’ve been prevented from doing that.”
Attorney Patrick Chesnut said the zoning administrator’s decision violated the zoning ordinance, which he believes provides the treatment of two contiguous 50-foot-wide lands owned by the same individual as one lot in that part of the City. He added that the city council would need to create a law guiding the placement of modular homes in the City as a legislative initiative.
