NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUATION CITY OF ST. ANTHONY STATE OF MINNESOTA NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony, Hennepin County, State of Minnesota, received a statement from the private owner of the Lowry Grove Manufactured Home Park (“the Park”), Continental Property Group (“Continental”), communicating Continental’s intention to close the Park, regardless of the outcome of any pending litigation over the validity of its purchase of the Park. The City Council also received from Continental its agreement: 1) to reimburse the Minnesota manufactured home relocation trust fund (“Trust Fund”) for relocation compensation payments made to relocated residents up to the amounts and on the timelines provided in Minn. Stat. § 327C.095; and 2) to waive any argument or claim challenging any compensation paid from the Trust Fund to relocated residents, regardless of whether the Park is ultimately closed. In addition, the Hennepin County District Court has issued an order ruling that Continental’s ownership of the Park, and thus its right to close it, may not be invalidated even if the Court later decides that the sale of the Park to Continental violated Minnesota’s manufactured home park closure statute. Therefore, in order to allow for residents who will be relocated to receive prompt compensation, the City has determined that it is appropriate to continue the public hearing required under St. Anthony Code Section 111.094 and Minnesota Statutes Section 327C.095, subd. 4 that was held but not concluded on September 8, 2016. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the public hearing held on September 8, 2016 on the closure of the Lowry Grove Manufactured Home Park will be continued to Tuesday, October 11, 2016, at approximately 7:00 P.M. at the St. Anthony City Council Chambers in City Hall, 3301 Silver Lake Road, Minnesota. The public hearing will: review the closure statement provided by Continental to residents and home owners of the Park; review and evaluate impacts the planned closure may have on manufactured home owners and on Continental; inform Park residents and home owners of their potential eligibility for relocation compensation from the Minnesota Manufactured Home Relocation Fund (“the Fund”) under Minnesota Statutes Section 327C.095, subdivision 13 and Minnesota Statutes Section 462A.035; and appoint a neutral third party to exercise decision-making authority and resolve questions and disputes regarding contributions to and disbursements from the Fund. All interested persons may appear at the hearing and present their views on the Park closure and the neutral third party orally or prior to the meeting in writing. Residents seeking information on the Minnesota Manufactured Home Relocation Fund may contact the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency at 651-296-3617. BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA /s/ City Manager 73
