�- April 13, 1977 Little Canada Planning Commission t and the Tittle Canada City Council: . In my attempt to prevent the further expansion of the Terrace Heights trailer park; ' I went *to *the City Offices to find out what the local codes are, pertaining to trailer --(or-_ mobile home) parks. Mr. Chlebeck informed me that Little Canada has no such code. There is no set of standards; no regulations or restrictions on trailer parks have ever been put into effect by this city. which- would protect other home -owners from the ' kind of problems we have: had with Terrace Heights. There is a Minnesota State Code with which trailer parks �e X �mJ��ke; must. comply..1 that code allows -trailers and Mobile homes to be installed within 10 feet of a public street. Mr. Fred Mitchell of the Minn. Dept. of Health, which enforces the state code, tells me that it is up to -the `local government to provide other stan- dards than those required by the state.. Apparently other communi- ties have long since done so. _. Roseville has one- trailer park and will never allow another. It ria.s a substantial code for its one and only park, including the requirement .that no. trailer be _ installed within 50 feet of a public street. Ut ale Canada has...three trailer.: parks and not . one. word -in the City Code about - setbacks, construction, installation, or any other standard:._. - The- local building inspector is 'not required to ._inspect any..work or. installation at. any trailer park in -the City of Little Canada.' I think this situation needs to be remedied and I ask tre Council to take action on it. I am enclosing copies of the ville and Minnesota codes. CLERK'S EXHIBIT NO. Meeting-4-13-77
