The reclassified district would allow for both [permanent mobile homes and recreational 23 vehicles (RVs) on a temporary basis. This item is scheduled for the February 13, 2017 24 quarterly public hearing. 25 26 Presenter: Patrick Mallett, Planner II 27 28 Patrick Mallett reviewed the abstract 29 30 Tony Blake: Some of those mobile home parks are within the water and sewer boundary area, does that mean they 31 could have water and sewer if they wanted to? Or do they have water and sewer? 32 33 Patrick Mallett: Theoretically. I would guess that the mast majority of these are operating on well and septic. 34 35 Alan Clapp: We’ve got about 70 that are only the well or septic. 36 37 Lydia Wegman: How big are some of the larger parks? 38 39 Michael Harvey: You have some parks in the County that have a couple hundred units. And remember that an 40 individual unit is on a space approximately 5,000 square feet, at least according to current code. 41 42 Patrick Mallett continued presentation. 43 44 Tony Blake: What do you mean by “could help solidify addressing”? 45 46 Patrick Mallett: So part of that exhaustive research is that… A mobile home park is much like a condo. You don’t 47 have individual lots. You have one track that is theoretically owned by one owner or one corporation or entity and 48 they have spaces like an apartment or a condo with stalls and hookups and then you pay a rent to the owner. My 49 understanding is in some cases you could buy a deeded reference to the space. So what’s happening is the 50 addressing, not all of these are addressed in our database or are they clearly labeled to be able to drive into a mobile 51 home park and be able to locate a specific unit. I don’t know that your average person, either tenant or owner, would 52 necessarily make the connection that that’s the address. 53 Attachment 3 35
