Title
Hearing to consider appeal of the approval of a Temporary Mobile Home Application (TMA 08-0007-A) which overturned a stop work order issued by Planning Services, noting said stop work order rendered both TMA 08-0007 and the associated building permit 187911 null and void on property identified as APN 078-200-60 consisting of 6.8 acres, in the Placerville area; Appellant: Gordon and Sandra Prow.

TMA 08-0007-A was approved by the El Dorado County Planning Commission on September 11, 2008, allowing the continued use of a temporary mobile home on a parcel, despite the absence of owner occupancy.
