Approved 12/7/16 4 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 161 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 162 it and a chasse and is built to either no standard or an RV standard. 163 164 Lydia Wegman: So should we expect some changes following your meeting with the attorneys and? 165 166 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 167 it. 168 169 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 170 possible. 171 172 Patrick Mallett: Ok. That’s a good point. And I think that there probably will be some experimentation. For example, the 173 gentleman on Orange Grove Road is like, “I’m not going to completely convert this stuff on a speculative rolling the dice and 174 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 175 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. 176 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 177 that’s a pain. But it may be worth it, willing to try, that’s part of his input. 178 179 Lydia Wegman: Are there advantages of being a RV park? 180 181 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 182 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 183 going to depreciate. But this is about the zoning and the panning part of it. That’s it. 184 185 186 Lydia Wegman closed the meeting. 187 34
