City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: President and EDA Commissioners
From: Aaron Parrish, Economic Development Coordinator
Item Title/Subject: Manufactured Home Park Revitalization Program
Date of Report: February 7, 2001
Background:
In an effort to revitalize Mounds View Mobile Home Park, staff has developed a program to assist in
the acquisition/demolition and rehabilitation of substandard manufactured homes. The location of
Mounds View Mobile Home Park is illustrated below:
Under the Acquisition Program, residents of older manufactured homes would be given up to $5,000
to purchase their home. Once acquired by the EDA, salvageable materials would be removed from
the home, and then it would be demolished. This program is oriented toward those homes where
rehabilitation would be cost prohibitive. It is expected that newer model homes would replace those
removed from the park. Additionally, another $3,000 loan forgivable over 5 years would be made
available to low and moderate individuals wishing to purchase a new home to be placed on site.
More information regarding this program can be obtained from the attached resolution.
Under the Rehabilitation Program, those homes requiring less renovation to be code compliant
February 5, 2001 Work Session
Page 2 of 5
would receive a forgivable loan over three years up to $3,000. Additional information about this
program can also be obtained from the attached resolution.
Finally, it is anticipated that both of the aforementioned programs would target manufactured homes
constructed prior to 1976. However, the extent of code and life safety issues associated with the
home would be the primary determinant. Currently, the units within Mounds View Mobile Home Park
were manufactured on the following dates:
YEAR MANUFACTURED NUMBER OF UNITS
Prior to 1970 22
1970 - 1974 26
1975 - 1979 55
1980 – 1989 22
1990 and Newer 30
Total Units 155
From a financial perspective, the program would only become operational upon successful receipt of
Federal Community Development Block Grant funds allocated through Ramsey County. These
funds are primarily allocated for the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, and projects
that benefit low to moderate income individuals. The Manufactured Home Park Revitalization
Program addresses both criteria. A subsequent Agenda Item directs staff to submit a grant
application for these funds.
Necessary Actions:
Consider Resolution No. 01-EDA-142 Approving the Manufactured Home Park Revitalization
Program.

From: Aaron Parrish, Economic Development Coordinator
Item Title/Subject: Provide Staff Direction Regarding the Acquisition of 7980 Groveland Road
Date of Report: February 7, 2001
Background:
As the EDA is aware, staff has been approached by Mr. Greg Johnson, owner of 7980 Groveland
Road, about the possibility of selling this property to the City. The parcel is currently improved with a
single-family residence. Based on direction provided at the February Work Session, the EDA will be
presented with an appraisal of the property. While the full report will not be available by the time of
the EDA meeting, we have been assured that a letter indicating a value will be made available to us
by Monday. Mr. Johnson has offered to sell the property for $150,000.
As indicated at the Work Session, Mr. Johnson has also received an offer to purchase the property
which expires February 16, 2001. Accordingly, if the EDA were interested in acquiring the property,
it would be necessary to direct staff to draft a purchase agreement. Of course, the purchase
agreement would be contingent upon EDA approval.
Necessary Actions:
Provide Staff Direction Regarding the Potential Acquisition of 7980 Groveland Road.
