Amador County – A Jackson Planning Commission public hearing expected to be heavily attended Monday was postponed due to the expected lack of a quorum due to illness of one commissioner and conflicts of interest reported by two others.

City Manager Mike Daly said the public hearing to discuss an application to subdivide 4 parcels in the Rollingwood Estates mobile home park into 226 separate lots was tentatively rescheduled for April 4, as only two of the commissioners would be available to attend the hearing, and it would not give the commission a quorum, that is, a majority of the commissioners being present.

Daly said Vice Chair Kathlyn Devlin would recuse herself from the discussion because of a financial conflict of interest, due to her business interest in New York Fitness, and its proximity to Rollingwood. Commissioner Darek Selman also reported a conflict of interest because a member of his family owns a unit in Rollingwood. Daly said Selman’s conflict might be more of the “common law” type, in that it might financially benefit a relative.

He said the three remaining members, Chair Walt Hoesser, and commissioners Dave Butow and Joe Assereto, would be left without a quorum due to one of them being ill and unable to attend Monday. The meeting’s agenda included a closed session to discuss potential litigation over the Rollingwood issue. Its owner is seeking to split 4 lots of the park “into 219 mobile home lots and seven common area lots.”

According to the application, C&L Investment Company, represented by Joe Chirco “is proposing the subdivision of the parcels which comprise the Rollingwood Mobile Home Park located at 20 Rollingwood Drive.” The subdivision “would create separate legal lots to allow for individual ownership of the spaces which the mobile home owners currently rent.”

The report said the city “General Plan designation of the project site is Single Family Residential with a conditional use permit to allow for the mobile home park.”

Daly said the public hearing’s postponement date would be announced later. It was tentatively set for April 4.
