18 Approved 12/7/16 161 Patrick Mallett: Exactly.You ask 10 people what a tiny home is and 5 of them are probably going to say, "Like that show"and 162 the other 5 are going to have very different opinions in what that is. But by far I think the most common product has wheels on 163 it and a chasse and is built to either no standard or an RV standard. 164 165 Lydia Wegman: So should we expect some changes following your meeting with the attorneys and? 166 167 Patrick Mallett:Yeah. This is the first. We've gone through the first pass of this and then we'll put the legal vice grips through 168 it. 169 170 Lydia Wegman: I want to speak in sport of Lisa's plan. I think it's worth it to look into doing something smaller than 10-acres, if 171 possible. 172 173 Patrick Mallett: Ok. That's a good point. And I think that there probably will be some experimentation. For example, the 174 gentleman on Orange Grove Road is like, "I'm not going to completely convert this stuff on a speculative rolling the dice and 175 throwing it on the table, but I'm willing to convert a couple of the stalls and see what happens.".And his idea was that there's a 176 market and it's a good idea to get involved in that. There are nuances with regard to a RV park versus a mobile home park. 177 Mobile home parks tend to rent by the month. RV parks tend to rent by the day or the week.And from a maintainer standpoint 178 that's a pain. But it may be worth it,willing to try, that's part of his input. 179 180 Lydia Wegman:Are there advantages of being a RV park? 181 182 Patrick Mallett: A lot of interest. And the other part of this that I think pertains to that bigger discussion is that some of these 183 things, based on where you put it and how it's classified, impact your ability to get a mortgage. If it's got wheels it's probably 184 going to depreciate. But this is about the zoning and the panning part of it.That's it. 185 186 187 Lydia Wegman closed the meeting. 4
