Allows garages and carports in mobile home parks,if built after the effective date of this ordinance and if in compliance with setback requirements. (Staff does not believe allowing garages or carports is practical given the sizes of lots in the existing mobile home parks.) 1110.04 Reduce list of conditional uses to improvement,enlargement,extension or alteration of existing mobile home park,private recreational buildings and facilities, governmental and public utility buildings and structures necessary for the health, safety and general welfare of the community,model homes,townhomes,PUDs,day care or group nursery. 1110.05 Subd. 2. Clarify section on setbacks so setbacks to perimeter of site are separate from setbacks from individual"lot lines"Change setbacks between mobile homes and for parking areas to follow State requirements. Change front setbacks for double wides to 20 feet,for single wides to 10 feet. Change side setbacks to match State requirement. Require a perimeter of landscaping around each unit. • 1110.06 Add section which requires that a copy of the"Safety Feature Disclosure Form"by filed with the City prior to any in-park sale of a mobile home;require a record of any inspections required by Minn. State Statutes 327C.07 be filed with the City Add section which requires plans be submitted and permits obtained for any installation of a mobile home;and that prior to installation of any manufactured home constructed prior to July 1, 1972,the mobile home must meet current life safety codes and be approved by the Building Official. The mobile home park which is in the best position to meet City and State standards is Colonial Village. The other two parks have some definite problems due to the size of the mobile home spaces, the lack of setbacks along the perimeter or the lack of off-street parking. Action Requested: Provide direction to staff whether City Council wants revisions to the R-5 district prepared and a proposal developed for an amortization program to bring existing parks to current standards over a specified period of time. An amortization program may require the mobile home parks to resize the spaces for the mobile homes so that City and State standards can be met, and off-street parking can be provided. They may have to reduce the total number of spaces and relocate gas meters to do so. N:\DATA\USERS\PAMS\SHAREVSPECPRO1 SP021.97\MOBILHOM.CC 1 I
