Summary
A family used a manufactured home as a caregiver residence until the patient died in 2024, then sought to keep it while saving to build a site-built home. Neighbors argued subdivision covenants never allowed mobile homes and that allowing it invites future requests. The board denied the exception and set a 120-day removal deadline.
