DD7C Meeting Date:March 24, 1997 Type of Business:PH 110 WIC:Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA:Consent Agenda;CB:Council Business CI of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson,Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Review of a Conditional Use Permit for on-site mobile home sales at 2075 Rustad Lane;Planning Case No. 476-97 Date of Report: March 21, 1997 Summary: On February 27, 1995,the City Council approved a CUP for William Liggett to allow on-site display and sales of model manufactured homes in the Colonial Village Park. One of the conditions of approval was that the CUP be subject to review after one year. Discussion: In Fall, 1996, the Planning Commission alerted current staff to the need to review this conditional use permit for Colonial Village. The review was scheduled as soon as workload permitted,and • was discussed by Planning Commission at their February 19 and March 5 meetings. There are six contingencies attached to this CUP: • The first requires that the CUP be recorded with Ramsey County. Staff has verified that this was accomplished. • The second requires that the number of model home units available for sale shall not exceed six percent of the licensed lots. There are currently 194 lots within Colonial Village, of which only three are model homes. This represents less than two percent. • The third requires that the model homes be installed in compliance with all local and state regulations. The homes are in compliance with all regulations,with the exception of the primary staircases and entrance platforms which have minimal problems related to the handrails and the height and width of the steps. These items have been an ongoing problem with not only the model homes but other homes in the park. In the past,there has been somewhat sporadic enforcement on this item due to workload. We have started enforcing this provision,but consider it to be larger issue than just the model homes. It is staff's preference to address the existing staircases through an overall approach to enforcement in Colonial Village. Gary Pearson,representing Colonial Village, is seeking a second opinion from State code enforcement officials as to the requirements for stairways and railings. Staff will have pictures available at your meeting of the types of railings being • used. • The fourth requirement states that the City be sent a list of homes offered for sale, updated every month. This requirement has been met.
