The reclassified district would allow for both [permanent mobile homes and recreational <br /> 24 vehicles (RVs) on a temporary basis. This item is scheduled for the February 13, 2017 <br /> 25 quarterly public hearing. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Presenter: Patrick Mallett, Planner II <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Patrick Mallett reviewed the abstract <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Tony Blake: Some of those mobile home parks are within the water and sewer boundary area, does that mean they <br /> 32 could have water and sewer if they wanted to?Or do they have water and sewer? <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Patrick Mallett:Theoretically. I would guess that the mast majority of these are operating on well and septic. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Alan Clapp:We've got about 70 that are only the well or septic. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Lydia Wegman: How big are some of the larger parks? <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Michael Harvey: You have some parks in the County that have a couple hundred units. And remember that an <br /> 41 individual unit is on a space approximately 5,000 square feet, at least according to current code. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Patrick Mallett continued presentation. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Tony Blake:What do you mean by"could help solidify addressing"? <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Patrick Mallett: So part of that exhaustive research is that... A mobile home park is much like a condo. You don't <br /> 48 have individual lots. You have one track that is theoretically owned by one owner or one corporation or entity and <br /> 49 they have spaces like an apartment or a condo with stalls and hookups and then you pay a rent to the owner. My <br /> 50 understanding is in some cases you could buy a deeded reference to the space. So what's happening is the <br /> 51 addressing, not all of these are addressed in our database or are they clearly labeled to be able to drive into a mobile <br /> 52 home park and be able to locate a specific unit. I don't know that your average person, either tenant or owner, would <br /> 53 necessarily make the connection that that's the address. <br /> 1 <br />
