“In the present day we have now builders that are available in, particularly on the cell dwelling parks and so they inform us, effectively, I’m maintaining it beneath one identify and never dividing it up into heaps. Once you construct one home, you’re good, we don’t want something from you. Once you construct your second home subsequent to that home, you simply constructed a subdivision since you are doing it for the aim of lease or promote,” mentioned County Engineer, Michael Knop.
“I really feel the identical a couple of cell dwelling as a result of a cell house is both a two- or three-bedroom cell dwelling, a home is a two- or three-bedroom home. You need to design a septic tank for them, so in saying that, my opinion, primarily based on my expertise, whenever you stick one cell dwelling on the market, you’re good. Once you stick the second on the market you simply constructed a subdivision. That’s the place some builders differ in interpretation and that’s the rationale for the revision.”

You aren’t going to must assemble the highway.”
