Rouge River Investments Conditional Use Permit Modification, Special Permit, and Inland Design Review

A modification of the CUP for the Benbow RV park for the reconfiguration and relocation of existing recreational vehicle (RV) spaces, installation of two above ground 1,000 gallon-propane tanks for on-site use and resale to the public, utility improvements, improvements of existing storm drainage facilities, relocation of the dog park, landscaping and repaving. The project will involve the demolition of 18 existing RV sites and construction of 13 new RV spaces in the same location; the demolition of 3RV sites adjacent to one of the park's community buildings to accommodate a larger outdoor communal area; and development of four new spaces at the north end of the park. Overall the project will result in a net loss of 4 RV spaces. The previous CUP for the park authorized 113 RV spaces; the park is currently permitted for 112 RV sites through the Dept. of Housing and Community Development. The proposed project will result in the park having a total of 108 spaces. A special Permit is being requested to reduce teh 100-foot Streamside Management Area (SMA) for the South Fork of the Eel River to allow a 25-foot SMA setback. This reduction is requested for an approx. 80 linear foot portion of the park to allow for the development of four RV spaces at this location. The development of the four RV spaces will require little or no grading and includes the removal of one ornamental tree in an area that has previously been disturbed and developed. The existing dog park will be relocated to the south side of the interior access road where the existing driving range is located. Construction and staging areas will occur on exisitng asphalt, graveled parking and roadway areas located inside the park. The park will continue to receive water service from the Benbow Water company, propane from Blue Star Gas and the existing on-site sewage disposal system will continue to be used for wastewater . Also inland Design Review for the proposed project.
