North Star Fahey r•eported that at the last Council meeting a number• of r•esidents fr~om Tr•ailer Par~k the Nor•th Star Mobilehome Park appeared befor•e th e Council concerned with the lack of on-site shelters within their park in the event of severe Agenda weather. Item No. 8 Fahey reported that State law now gives the City the author•ity to r~eview emergency ser•vices plans for mobilehome parks. Those plans are to pr~ovide either on-site or• off-site emergency shelter~s. If the City deter~mines that off-site shelters which have been designated are inadequate, then the City can requir•e on-site shelters. off-site emer•gency shelter•s to be inadequate due to the distance needed to be traveled for access to the sites as well as inadequate par•king at one of the sites. The Committee also reviewed the plan for• the Ter•race Heights Mobilehome Cour•t, which has designated Capital View as an energency shelter•, although an updated agreement needs to be obtained for• Capital View by the park. Fahey r~eported that the City's Emergency Services Committee has r•eviewed the emergency services plan for ~lorth Star Trailer Park which was submitted on December 1, 1988. Fahey pointed out that the Committee has found the The City Cler•k repor•ted that the 3020 Rice Str•eet Mobilehome Par~k submitted their• plan yester•day, and has designated the basement ar•ea of their~ office as an emer•gency shelter for its residents. The Clerk repor•ted that the Committee will be reviewing the plan submitted by 3Q20 Rice Str•eet Par•I<. Page -5- MINUTES City Council Jan. 11, 1989 ~lorth Star Mr. Fran Husnick, one of the owners of the North Star•P9obilehome Park, Mobilehome reported that he thought the issue of a storm shelter had been settled Park ~Cont.) a few year~s ago when the City r•equired him to put in a second access to the par•k. Husnick r•eported that he put in the second access at a cost of appr•oximatel,y R35,000 r•ather• than havina to put an on-site shelter in the park. Hiasnick pointed out that d~ae to the high water table in the area, it is not possible to put in a below 9round shelter•, and questioned the type of above-gr•ound shelter that would be appr~oved. for emergency weather use. Husnick reported that another mobilehome park he is aware of installed an above-ground emergency shelter•, however, after• it was completed, the State would not approve it. Husnick reported that he also owns a mobilehome park in East Bethel and was appr~oached about putting in an emergency shelter in that par•k. Nusnick r•epor•ted that the City agr~eed to put in the shelter~ if the par•k owners would grant an easement for the shelter. However~, Husnick reported that the owners did not want to give an easement in the event that the use of the property was ever~ changed. Flusnick r•epor•ted that East Bethel eventually stated that the par~k owner•s should put the storm shelter• in, however•, when the owners pr•esented plans and specs for• a shelter, the City would not appr•ove it. Husnick r•epor~ted that ther•e is also the liability question involved with these on-site stor~m shelters. Fahey pointed out that the r•esidents of the Nor•th Star• Mobilehome Par•k ar~e looking for a r~easonable alternative to the pr•esently designated stor•m shelters. Fahey stated that the past Council meeting minutes would have to be reviewed with r•egard to Husnick's statements that the second access at the park was in exchange for not having to put an on- site shelter in the par•k. However, Fahe,y pointed out that the or•iginal plans for the mobilehome park showed four entrances to the park. Husnick agreed that four entrances wer•e shown on the plans, however, pointed out that ther•e were no str•eets to pr•ovide access for• these entrances. Husnick pointed out that at the time the mobilehome park was put in, South Owasso Blvd. was not improved. Fahey pointed out the repor~t received fr~om the Emergency Ser~vices Committee and asked Husnick if he has reviewed the report and had time to consider• alternative sites for• an emer•gency shelter for• the par•k. Fahey pointed out that it is the obligation of the owner~s of the par•k to come up with adeauate shelter• for r•esidents of the park in the event of severe weather. The City Clerk pointed out that at the time the second access to the Page -6- MINUTES City Council Jan. 11, 1989 Nor•th Star park was being discussed, the issues were different. The Clerk Mobilehome pointed out that today the issue is that the State of Minnesota is Park (Cont.) requiring mobilehome parks to submit emergency services plans and municipalities have to r•eview these plans and determine if they are adequate. Fahey pointed out that at the time the second access was discussed, there was concer•n on the part of the Fire Depar•tment about the one access to the par•k. The Fire Department pointed out that if the one entr~ance was blocked, tenants would be unable to get in or out of the park. Fahey stated that he could not recall that the second access was a trade-off for an on-site shelter•. Fahey pointed out that when the second access was discussed, stor~m shelter•s were not r~equired, however, the State now makes this requirement. Husnick pointed out that the park owners had to buy their own entrance for the park since a public entr•ance was not available. Eventually this entr•ance was sold back to the City when Country Drive was improved. Collova noted that the situation has changed pointing out the amount of traffic on the Little Canada Road bridge which makes the Fire Station harder to get to. Fahey pointed out that the State is requiring local gover~nments to determine if the emer~gency services plans for~ their~ mobilhome par~ks ar•e adequate. Fahey stated that in the opinion of the City's Emergency Services Committee, the shelters designated by North Star Mobilehor:ie Park ar~e not adequate due to access problems to these sites. Fahey felt that the par•k owner•s needed to rethink their plan, and pointed out that there are other• alternatives available to the par•k owner•s. Fahey suggested that an ar•rangement could be made with one of the adjacent building owners so that an adjacent building could ser~ve as the par•k's stor~m shelter•. Husnick pointed out that his own residence is above-gr•ade with no basement. Husnick pointed out that apar~tment owners are not being required to provide such plans and suggested that the danger~ is just as gr•eat to people living in apartment units. Fahey agreed that the risk may be as great, but pointed out that it is the State that is requiring the emer•gency services plans anC has char•ged local governments to deter•mine if the plans ar•e adequate. Fahey stated that this is not the issue to be debated. The issue has already been decided by State Law. Fahey suggested that the par~k owners rethink their plan. Husnick asked about the plans submitted by the two other mobilehome par•ks in the City. Page -7- r~1~wrEs c;t.v coun~;~ Jan. 11, 19~9 Plorth Star P9obi 1 ehome Park (Cont.) Fahey explained the plans for the 3020 Rice Street P9obilehome Park as well as Terr•ace lieights. Husnick again pointed out that he cannot constr•uct a below grade stor•m shelter• within the par•k due to the water~ table. Fahey pointed out that there are above-ground concrete str•uctures that have been developed as storm shelters for mobilehome oar~ks. A resident of Arden Village Mobilehome Park in Lakeville reported that the 6urnsville area has thr•ee above-ground storm shelter~s and described these shelters to the Council. .The resident reported that any above-ground shelter must meet the guildelines of the State Health Department and local Building Inspector, and must be able to withstand wind.s up to a certain mile per hour. A resident of Village Green P~obilehome Park r•eported that the City of East Bethel had indicated that it would pay for installation of a on-site storm shelter~ in this mobilehome par•k pr•ovided that the park owner•s obtain the necessary liability insur~ance. The owner~s of the park would not obtain the insurance. The r•esident went on to explain the need for the on-site shelters for residents of the park who cannot drive, are elderly or handicapped, or day care providers. Fahey r•eplied that the Council under•stands the issues involved and this is the r•eason the Committee found the shelter~s which had been desictnated as inadequate. Fahey felt the Cauncil would follow the dir~ection in the Committee r~epor~t. Fahe,y stated that the next step was up to thp owners of the park to come up with an acceptable plan. LaValle asked why the County Garage was not an option for• the North Star~ Mobilehome Court. The City Clerk pointed out that the distance to thp County Gar•age is almost the same as that to the Fir~e Department. Fahe,y suggested that the City Clerk research the past meeting minutes and provide this information to the Council. Scalze pointed out that the Law has been changed, and the City has been char•ged with this responsibility. Scalze pointed out that past a.ctions by the Council will not change this. Scalze pointed out that the City must either approve the plan submitted b,y the par~k owners or not. Husnick asked where the requirement for the plan is coming from. Fahey again pointed out that State Law is requiring the emernency ser•vices plans. The City Attorney reported that State Law 327.20 Subdivision 7 states that owners of manufactured home par~ks must provide a plan d~signating Page -8- P1INUTES City Council Jan. 11, 1989 Nor~th Star~ a place of shelter or appr~oved evacuation plan to a reasonable Mobilehome shelter for• its r•esidents and the plan must be appr•oved by the Park local City by Mar~ch 1, 1989. (Cont.l Husnick again pointed out that he agreed to a trade-off with the City that in r•eturn for a second access to the par•k he would not have to provide an on-site stor•m shelter~. Hus nick pointed out that the access cost $35,000. Fahey replied that the City has now been charged with enfor•cing State Law which was not in effect at the time the second access issue was r•esolved. Fahey asked what will happpn if the plan for the park is not approved by March lst. The City Attorney replied that the State Health Depar•tment would be notified and they would r~equest the County Attorney to abate the unlawful operation of the mobilehome par~k. Fahey stated that a copy of the State law will be provided to Husnick along with any past Council meeting minutes that are located. Fahey suggested that the matter be tabled for two weeks to give Husnick an oppor~tunity to r~evise the plan for• the mobilehome par~k. Other•wise, the plan will be denied and the State Health Depar•tment and County Attor•ney infor•med. A r•esident of Fr•idley Terracz Mobilehome Park outlined the situation in the park she r•esides in which also involved access pr•oblems. Husnick pointed out the issue of liability insurance and its high cost. Fahey pointed out that any shelter that the par•k owners might constr•uct would have to meet the standarcis of the State Health Department. The City will use these standar•ds as well. Husnick again raised the issue that apar•tment owners ar~e not being required to provide stor•m shelters. Scalze pointed out that this matter was debated by the State Legislature and the debate was concluded. This City has now been charged with enfor~cing the State law. Fahey felt the plan should be r•ejected at this time and the ball should be put in the park owner•s cour•t to comply with the Law. Husnick pointed out that he is out-of-town quite a bit. The Council pointed out that there are other owner•s of the par•k and suggested that Mr. Husnick get together• with these partners to resolve the situation. The Council pointed out that it is the park owner~s' responsibility to develop an adequate plan. Any information the City can provide to the owners will be provided. Page -9- MIDIUTES City Council Jan. 11, 1989 Nor~th Star~ Mr. Fahey intr•oduced the following r•esolution and moved its adoption: Mobilehome Park P,ESOLUTION M0. 89-1-10 - DECLARI~IG THAT TNF (Cont.)

Fahey r•eportec! that the matter• will be placecl on the agenda of the Council when a new plan is submitted by the park owners or upon request of the park owners. If an acceptable plan is not received by March lst, the State Health Depar~tment and Count.y Attor•ney will be notified. P,ecess At this point in the meeting, 8:47 P.M., Council took a shor~t r•ecess. The mzeting was reconvened at 8:55 P.M. School The City Engineer submitted a feasibility r~epor•t on the par~king lot Property improvement for• the Little Canada Elementar•y School. Feasibility Report John Thein, r•epr~esenting the School District, reported that constr~uction plans for the school addition are proceeding well and in the final Agenda stages. Funding for the pr~oject has been arr•anged and the District 10 Item PJo is anticipating taking bids sometime in Februar~y. Occupancy for the . site is planned for next fall. Funding is tied to the sale of Spooner• Par~k, ~lorth Heights site and Lexington building. Fahey asked if the School Boar•d has acted on the Cit,y's pr•oposal to participate in the addition. Thein stated that he anticipated no pr•oblem, and suggested that he wor•k with the City Clerk, P~ayor•, City Attor•ney and Roger• lJorner• on the details of the participation agreement. The City Clerk reported that such an agreement has been drawn up by Page -10- MINUTES City Council Jan. 11, 1989 School the City Attor•ney. Addition (Cont.l Fahey suggested that Thein and Roger Wor•ner review this agr•eement and that he and Collova would be available to meet with the School Distr•ict to di scuss i t. Collova asked about plans to spr~inkle the existing building. Thein repor•ted that only the new por•tion will be spr•inklered immediately, and that a plan will be developed to sprinkle the old portion of the building over~ a period of time. Fahey pointed out that plans to incr•ease the size of existing par•king in Spooner Par~k have been eliminated. Thein agreed pointinq out that the School Distr~ict did not need this parking. Fahey pointed out that plans indicate par•king that would be impr~oved by the City, and Fahey wantec! it clear that the City has no plans for improving additional par•king in this ar~ea. Thein r~eplied that he under•stands this. Thein reported that the School District eliminated the additional parking because it was not needed and due to the cost. Blesener• pointed out the City's desire that the School District include a nor•th/south walkway along the lenath of the par•king area so that people using the par~king lot do not have to cut through the lot to access the walkway to the school building. Thein felt this suggestion could be worked out. Scalze asked for an explanation of the stor•m sewer pr~oposed. The City Engineer described the storm sewer improvement that is pr•oposed. The Engineer• also pointed out that the question of lighting of the par•king area has been raised in the past discussions. Thein reported that this has been discussed by the School Distr•ict. The District is interested in lighting the area for many r•easons including security. Thein repor•ted that the School District wants to move the sur•face water~, however, wants to do so as efficiently as possible. Thein asked if the pipe pr~oposEd was necessary, and if a ditch would suffice. The City Engineer• pointed out that a 7 foot ditch would be necessary, which he felt was too deep. The Engineer• recommended that pipe be installed r•ather• than a ditch. Page -11- MINUTES City Council Jan. 11, 1989 School Thein stated that the School District wants to correct its r•un-off Addition pr•oblems, but asked if other• ar•eas are benefiting by this pipe. If (Cont.1 so, Thein suggested that the cost of the impr•ovement be assessed accordingly. The Council instructed the City Engineer to determine the draina.ge area that this stor•m sewer• pipe would serve. Thein reported that the School District's architect and Roger Worner will review the plans as well as the agreement proposed by the City. Thein asked the length of the bond issue for• the impr•ovement. The City Clerk estimated that the issue would be for 10 years. Thein r•epor•ted that there is the possibility the bond issue would be paid off early if the Capital View sale goes through.
