Verlin and Sonya Siefkes have a year in which they must find a more permanent living situation than the recreational vehicle they call home on North Webb Road. The Board of Harvey County Commissioners denied the couple’s request for a conditional-use permit on Tuesday. Planning and Zoning Director Karen Rothe provided the background for commissioners. She received a complaint from a neighbor that the Siefkeses had been living for years in an RV, which goes against the county’s unified development code. She said the Harvey County Planning Commission considered their application for a conditional-use permit, but it felt approving it would open the door to the whole county to violate the UDC. She recommended that commissioners deny the application and allow them a grace period of one year.
