Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />i3everly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />nnmiwsrRaroa <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />RE: Call for Public Hearing f'or Amendment to Zoning Code -Storm Shelters in Mobile <br />Home Parks as a Conditional Use <br />With the pending construction of the new storm shelter in North star Estates and recent interest by 3020 <br />Mobile Home Park to undertake a similar project, staff has come to the realization that our current zoning <br />code does not allow these structures due to the nonconforming status of these properties. Therefore, we <br />are recommending we allow for the construction of storm shelters in existing mobile home parks as a <br />conditional use. This concept would be similar to the manner in which we allow expansion of non- <br />eonfonning residential structures to improve their livability in Chapter 903 of the Zoning Code. <br />K Non-conforming, rzon-irzconze producing, residential units nzay be expanded to <br />improve livability as a conditional use, provided that the rzon-conformity of the <br />structure will not be increased. <br />It is also consistent with our provisions that allow Mobile Home Parks to maintain operations as <br />nonconforming uses as defined in Chapter 903. <br />M For• the purposes of applying Subsections 903.OIO.D. and 903.OIO.G. to Mobile <br />Home Parlcs which are made norz-conforming by land use zoning district, such <br />Mobile Home ParJcs shall be required to adhe:•e to the following standards: <br />A mobile bonze irz a norz-conforrnirzg mobile home park may be moved, relocated, <br />or replaced on condition that the replacement mobile bonze slzall comply with <br />Minnesota Statutes Chapter 327.20 Subdivision 1, paragraph (3), or the <br />following standards, whichever is more restrictive.• <br />No nzmzufactured lzorne shall be located closer than three feet to the side <br />lot lines of a manufactured home park, if the abutting property is <br />improved property, or closer than ten feet to a public street or alley. <br />Each individual site shall abut or face on a driveway or clear <br />amoccupied space of not less than. 16 feet in width, which space sTzall <br />have unobstructed access to a public highway or alley. There shall be an <br />open space of at least ten feet between the sides of adjacent <br />maruefactzn•ed bonzes inclzrding tlzeir attachments and at least three feet <br />
