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-
