8 Ashley Moncado: They would still be able to. You have six people, unrelated, living in the house. Yes, they would still 372 be able to bring that temporary custodial care unit on the property because we’re looking at something separate from 373 the temporary custodial care unit. 374 375 Maxecine Mitchell: I just got confused because I thought that was a point to be a determined fact of whether you 376 could put that portable unit for a parent or parents. But the family relationship has nothing to do with it? 377 378 Ashley Moncade: For bringing the temporary custodial care unit on the property, no. 379 380 Tony Blake: I have one question related to the fire departments. I see this footnote of manufactured homes are built 381 to the standards of the department of housing urban development, HUD certificate, is required by Orange County 382 prior to the placement in the County. Now, before a certain age there are trailers that are extreme fire hazards, built 383 before a certain year. On page 34, at the bottom of the table, there’s a footnote and I’m wondering, does Orange 384 County have an ordinance that is to age out some of these older mobile homes and stuff? 385 386 Michael Harvey: No. 387 388 Patricia Roberts: Doesn’t the state? 389 390 Tony Blake: It’s a problem in the fire department. A lot of people bring in mobile homes from other parts of the state 391 where they’re not allowed and they set them up and they’re extreme fire hazards. They have aluminum wiring, 392 they’ve just reached the end of their duty cycles and they’re a fire trap, they going up like a matchstick and it’s just 393 something to consider, that struck me when I read that because I think these are actually HUD certified. But, that 394 doesn’t necessarily mean much. 395 396 James Lea: I guess what’s interesting Tony is how would you get a manufactured home built to the standards to the 397 department of housing? 398 399 Tony Blake: Well these all existed before HUD and I think they’re pre-existing and as I said it’s been a concern where 400 these things are actually being imported from county to county where the regulations lack. That contributes to North 401 Carolina being in the burn belt. 402 403 Craig Benedict: I’ll check with the division. 404 405 Tony Blake: I think it is ’76. I thought it was as late as ’85 or something. 406 407 Perdita Holtz: It is ’76; I know this unequivocally. 408 409 Tony Blake: Okay. Because there are some in Orange County. 410 411 Perdita Holtz: Technically, they’re mobile homes before that and ’76 and later are manufactured homes. 412 413 Tony Blake: Okay, so you know the rule better than I do. It just kind of set off a little alarm bell to me because it might 414 encourage people to bring these things in and park them close. 415 416 Lydia Wegman: Are there comment, questions? 417 418 MOTION made by Laura Nicholson to approve the statement of consistency and the amendment. Tony Blake 419 seconded. 420 VOTE: Unanimous. 421 422 AGENDA ITEM 10: COMMITTEE/ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS 423 A. Board of Adjustment 424 B. Orange County Transportation 425 12 12
