V City of Mounds View Staff Report 476-97: Colonial Village CUP March 21, 1997 Page 2 • The fifth requirement puts limitations on the hours of walk-throughs. Carol Mueller,the • park manager, has indicated that they adhere to these hours and staff has not received any complaints stating otherwise. • The last requirement states that the CUP be subject to review after one year. Completing this review will satisfy the last requirement of the CUP. A copy of the original staff report and minutes from the February 24, 1994 meeting where action was taken on the CUP,and Resolution No. 4719 which approved the CUP,are attached. Staff is not aware of any problems directly associated with the CUP and does not have any documented complaints regarding the display and sales of model homes in Colonial Village. Staff notified the residents of Colonial Village Park in addition to the surrounding property owners within 350 feet regarding the review of this CUP. At the Planning Commission meeting on March 5,there were a number of residents who attended. Those speaking expressed concerns about park maintenance issues, whether the annual lot inspections by the park manager were more strict since the mobile home sales started, and one individual asked whether they could be forced to move out of the park based on the age of their mobile home. The maintenance issues were referred to the park manager, who was present at the meeting, since they are not related to the conditional use permit. The resident concerned about being forced to move was given a copy of the State law governing mobile home parks which prohibits the age of a mobile home being used as the basis for requiring a resident to relocate. Mr.Pearson indicated that he had only been conducting the annual lot inspections for the last 1-2 years, and so was not able to compare current standards to the standards required in the past. He stated that Colonial Village is working hard to keep up the overall quality of the park and has published maintenance standards which are to be followed by the residents. The Planning Commission, at their March 5, 1997 meeting, passed a motion to recommend to the Council that the CUP for Colonial Village be reconfirmed. Recommendation: The Planning Commission, by a vote of six to zero, with one abstention,and staff recommend that the City Council move to reconfirm the conditional use permit issued for on-site model home sales with the same stipulations, based on the one-year review as required by the permit. (This action may be taken by motion since the original CUP, passed by resolution, will continue in effect.) 7 ' es Ericson,Planning Associate cc: Carol Mueller, 2075 Rustad Lane N:\DATA\USERS\PAMS\SHARE\DEVCASES\476-97\COLVILG.CC
