Planaing Commission 476-97: 2075 Rustad Lane March 5, I997 Page 2 be installed in compliance with aII City and State regulations. At the time of your last meeting, it was sta.�s understanding ihat th� oniy Code violation on the rnodei homes was that they were missin� the s�condary sta.ircases. This has since been resolved. We ar� now aware, however, ihai the staircases and entrance platforms at the primary enirance are no� in compleie compliance with the Code in terins of the handrails and ihe height and width of the steps. This has been an ongoing problem with no� 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 ihis provision, but consider ii to be larg�r issue than just the model homes. It is staff's pre%rence to address the existing staircases through an overall approach to enforc�ment in Colonial �Iillage, or to provide a iune frame for the model homes to be broughi i�to compiiance. The con�ingencies on the orig�nal CUP have been meti as %llows; Th� f rst required that ih� CUI' be recorded with Ramsey Couniry, �which has been verified. �'he second contingency required that the number of units available nat exceed six percent of licensed lots. There are currently 194 lots within Colonial �Iillage, of which only three are model homes (refer to the site plan.) Tlus represents a percen�age of less than two perceni. The third eontingency required that the mod�I homes be insta.11ed in complianc� with all City and State regulations. An inspection by �iick Jarson on Febnaary 28, 1997 verified that ihe secondary sta.ircases have been added as reques�ed. (Another code compliarice issue is noted earlier in this report.) The fourth requirement states that the Ciiy be seni a list of homes offered for sa1e, updated every month. 'The City has these notices on file, indicating that this requirement has been met. The fifth requirement puts limits on the hours of walk�throughs. Carol Mueller, ihe pa.ric manager, responds ihat they adhere to tkese hours. Staff has not received any complaints stating o#herwise. The last requirement specifies that the CUP be reviewed after one year. Stiaff' is unaware of any problems associated with the CUP and does not have any documented complaints regarding Coionial V'illage or its display and saies of znodel homes on file. Staffhas notified the park residents as well as tihe residents within 350 feet of Colonial Villa�e regarding the review of tlus CUP in order to solicii any commenis or concerns they may have. Iteco��endag�on: Approve Resolution No. 497-97 recommending to the City Councii approval of tlus conditional use pern�it remaini�ng in e$'ect with amended contingencies. cc: Carol Mueller N:�DA'FAIUSERS�PAMS4SHAREIDEVCASES147d-9'71COLVII..G.FC
