22 <br /> Approved 1/4/2017 <br /> 160 Patrick Mallett: So we'll see people that will tinker with a mobile home and if you rip out a wall and add onto it, what <br /> 161 does that become?And that kind of transcends the mobile home park. <br /> 162 <br /> 163 Lydia Wegman: Can we go back to the tiny homes?And so if they meet the RV standard would they be temporary? <br /> 164 <br /> 165 Patrick Mallett:Yes. <br /> 166 <br /> 167 Lydia Wegman: Only a mobile home or single family could be a permanent. <br /> 168 <br /> 169 Patrick Mallett: Exactly.You're coming to a space that's designated on a site plan as temporary or permanent.And if <br /> 170 you're in a temporary space you're suppose to be built to an RV standard and have a hook up. <br /> 171 <br /> 172 Lydia Wegman:What if a tiny home is set on a single-family lot? <br /> 173 <br /> 174 Michael Harvey: It has to meet state building code. <br /> 175 <br /> 176 Maxecine Mitchell: With the tiny home meeting the RV standard can only stay at a RV park for a certain length of <br /> 177 time? <br /> 178 <br /> 179 Patrick Mallett:Just the same as a RV. <br /> 180 <br /> 181 Buddy Hartley: How long can it stay there? <br /> 182 <br /> 183 Patrick Mallett: 180 days. <br /> 184 <br /> 185 Buddy Hartley:What happens if it's there after 180 days? <br /> 186 <br /> 187 Patrick Mallett: It's a violation... On the enforcement end of this, transcending the text change is how do we deal with <br /> 188 that? <br /> 189 <br /> 190 Maxecine Mitchell: Right now they couldn't be on either one?The tiny home. <br /> 191 <br /> 192 Patrick Mallett: No, because it's not meeting that standard. <br /> 193 <br /> 194 Buddy Hartley: Could you drive it around the block and bring it back? <br /> 195 <br /> 196 Patrick Mallett: I think that's a discussion for the enforcers to come up with some policy that's appropriate. But I think <br /> 197 it's in the realm of possibility to require, as part of its approval... That there's a statement and there's an affidavit <br /> 198 that's recorded on a lot that you're not going to have tenants staying there in your temporary spaces for longer than <br /> 199 180 days. Period. <br /> 200 <br /> 201 Patrick Mallet continued presentation. <br /> 202 <br /> 203 Tony Blake: Is anything grandfathered in this? <br /> 204 <br /> 205 Patrick Mallett: If you're a mobile home park and you're there and it either pre-dated our zoning requirements it's the <br /> 206 same. You can do nothing, and this is not going to impact what you have today nor are these requirements really <br /> 207 going to create additional items, if you have mobile homes there's no additional suffering in terms of... It's when you <br /> 208 want to convert portions to temporary. That's when you have to do additional things. But the performance standards <br /> 209 and the requirements;we made a conscience effort to make it the same. <br /> 210 <br /> 211 Michael Harvey:Tony, one thing to keep in mind is that with the current regulations,which are applicable,we have to <br /> 212 do our own inspections. We work with several park owners to address violations that they still have to comply with. <br /> 4 <br />
