Minutes of 07-15-02

VI. NEW BUSINESS
a. Concept Plan Review-MWF Properties Apartment Proposal (2000 County Road D)
Mr. Roberts said Mr. David Steele, representing MWF Properties, is proposing to build an 80-unit
apartment building. He is proposing this project on a 7-acre site on the south side of County
Road D, between White Bear Avenue and Ariel Street.
This project would be a 2-story apartment building with a mix of 72 two-bedroom units and 8
three-bedroom units. There also would be 80 detached garage stalls and 101 surface parking
spaces on the site.
To build this development, the applicant is requesting that the city approve the following:
1. A change in the city's land use plan. This change would be from BC (business commercial) to
R-3 (H) (residential high density).
A conditional use permit (CUP) for a planned unit development (PUD) for an 80-unit
apartment development. The applicant is requesting the CUP because the BC (business
commercial) and LBC (limited business commercial) zoning districts limit the uses on the site
to a variety of commercial, retail and office uses. The code, however, allows multi-dwellings
on land that the city has zoned BC by CUP.
3. Design approval.
Mr. Steele has asked staff to present these preliminary plans to the planning commission and city
council for comments. Planning commission members shared input and ideas with the applicant,
and he will come back to the planning commission with some answers to their questions at a later
meeting.
Commissioner Rossbach said he would like to see some comparison of traffic with this type of
use compared to a BC use. County Road D is already congested, and adding an apartment
complex to this area will only add to the traffic. He drove around some areas and made some
comments regarding what he likes in apartment buildings. He believes the tot lot is too small. If
the applicant is going to install a tot lot, it should be a good tot lot. He likes to see as much green
space as possible. He asked the applicant if he had considered using underground parking to
eliminate taking up as much green space as Cardinal Pointe and Hazel Ridge did.
Commissioner Dierich said she would strongly encourage the applicant to consider underground
parking for this proposal. This is a large complex to disperse vehicles out onto County Road D.
They should address traffic concerns.
Chairperson Fischer asked staff if there are any restrictions on setbacks from the overhead power
lines?
Mr. Roberts said they just have to be outside the easement area. He said lenders have their own
requirements and that would be between the applicant and the lender.
Planning Commission -3-
Minutes of 07-15-02
Mr. David Steele, representing MWF Properties, 7645 Lyndale Avenue South in Minneapolis,
addressed the commission. Mr. Steele said the tot lot is for toddlers and would be a secured
area inside the courtyard. The green space will be for kids to play on and others to enjoy. Mr.
Steele said the road that is to be abandoned in the southeast corner of the site is proposed to be
a vegetable garden for the tenants. He said he would get traffic counts for the commission and
present the counts when the numbers are available.
Commissioner Mueller asked what the proposed rent would cost for these units?
Mr. Steele said the units would rent from $900 to $1500. A garage will be roughly $75 a month.
There would be 72 two-bedroom units and 8 three-bedroom units.
Commissioner Rossbach asked where the occupants would go in a tornado if the apartment is
going to be slab on grade? There are FEMA guidelines that need to be followed for shelters. Mr.
Rossbach said he knows this because he has built several tornado shelters in the past.
Mr. Steele said he did not know. He said he will check on that. He said the commission asked if
the complex could have underground parking. This would add over a million dollars to the project
and would substantially raise the rent of the apartments. The owner would prefer to keep this a
two-story complex with outside garages and parking stalls.
Chairperson Fischer asked the applicant what the cost would be for underground parking
compared to outdoor garages?
Mr. Steele said an outside garage will run about $7,500 per unit and an underground garage
would cost about $20,000 per unit.
Commissioner Monahan-Junek asked Mr. Steele if he could get the calculations for the entire
parcel and the total green space. She guesses the vegetable garden proposed will be close to an
acre at 100' X 300'. With a calculation of the green space, paving and the building for the total
site, this would be very helpful.
Mr. Steele said he would get the information the commission asked for and bring it back to the
planning commission.
VII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Manufactured Home Park Closing Ordinance Amendment
Mr. Tom Ekstrand, the Assistant Community Development Director, addressed the commission.
He reviewed the planning commission's questions from their previous meeting and the answers
he received about those questions.
Commissioner Monahan-Junek asked Mr. Ekstrand to describe what the state statute says
regarding manufactured home parks.
Planning Commission
Minutes of 07-15-02
-4-
Mr. Ekstrand said the state statute says that the state requires the park owner to notify the city at
least nine months before ,the manufactured home would close. They then give direction to the
city where the city would notify the park residents and hold a public hearing to discuss the closing.
The city "may" require compensation by the city and others that may be appropriate. The
manufactured home ordinances in the cities of Oakdale and Roseville state the city "shall" be
required to compensate residents of the manufactured home park.
Mr. Dick Pearson, the owner of the Rolling Hills Mobile Home Park, addressed the commission.
They have 357 homeowners in this community. He feels this ordinance should not be applicable
to his park. He feels their responsibility is to maintain the homes and the grounds, and he feels
APAC should not be given power to make any decisions.
_Mr. Robert O.qilvie of 1249 Antelope Way, Beaver Lake Estates, addressed the commission. He
said if a homeowner gets displaced, he gets fair market value for his home. The homeowners in
manufactured home parks want fair market value for their homes as well. He said 19% of his rent
goes for property taxes for his lot rent. He also pays taxes on his manufactured home. He wants
fair market value for his manufactured home, and he wants it now.
Commissioner Pearson asked Mr. Ogilvie if he has a copy of the proposed ordinance that APAC
has?
Mr. Ogilvie said he has a copy of the ordinance, but he did not have a chance to read the
ordinance.
Mr. James Paist, the Executive Director for APAC. addressed the commission. He said 13 out of
15 cities have passed a manufactured home park closing ordinance. (except for Brainerd and
Willmar). State law does not give any compensation for park closing to its residents. This can be
disastrous for homeowners in manufactured home parks. The ordinance can be written however
the city would like it written. If the City of Maplewood wants to put a cap on the amount of money
a homeowner can receive, they can do that. If a homeowner has a manufactured home'that is
worth considerably more than someone else's manufactured home, then a cap wouldn't provide
enough relocation compensation. Oakdale goes by the tax-assessed value of the home for
compensation. There are four or five cities that do not have any cap.
Commissioner Rossbach asked how APAC came about?
Mr. Paist said it was formed in 1980 when a group of manufactured home residents in Anoka
County got together and formed Anoka People's Alliance. They got together to organize around
the issue of no cause eviction. Previously people could be evicted for no cause and owners of
manufactured home parks could arbitrarily evict people without any cause. It later grew into a
statewide organization for APAC. They also have a statewide tenant hotline for people to use for
questions about their manufactured home park. They occasionally work for park owners and park
residents, but mostly they are advocates for the park residents. They share information about
state laws, and they do community organizing. They may look at getting playground equipment in
their park as well as other issues for the residents.
Chairperson Fischer asked Mr. Paist of the 13 out of 15 cities that have passed this ordinance,
how many of the cities have one manufactured home park in their city?
Planning Commission -5-
Minutes of 07-15-02
Mr. Paist said he is only aware of the City of Shakopee that had only one manufactured home
park. There were 26 manufactured homes in it.
Commissioner Trippler said he understood that the ordinance read that the buyers would have to
pay for the attachments, sheds, porches and the manufactured home to either be moved or for
the compensation of the home.
Mr. Paist said as far as the attachments, sheds, porches etc., the ordinance is designed to
include that in moving it, but if it comes to buying out the home for the taxed-assessed value of
the home, they would only be paid for the home, not the attachments.
Commissioner Trippler asked Mr. Paist if APAC advocates raising the rents at the manufactured
home parks.
Mr. Paist said, in their experience, rent has been going up consistently enough without them
getting involved.
Chairperson Fischer asked if any of the cities that passed this ordinance had been challenged in
court?
Mr. Paist said the Arcadia Corporation challenged the City of Bloomington in court and it went to
the Court of Appeals in 1986 and was upheld. When homeowners get displaced in a
manufactured home park, it affects the city, the social service agencies, churches, shelters etc.
because people turn to these agencies when they are in need of help.
Commissioner Mueller said he would like to know from APAC or staff as parks have closed, what
has been the relocation percentage of buy out costs for developers or park owners?
Commissioner Rossbach asked staff to find out what residents would be paid when an apartment
building gets sold or condemned and the residents get displaced? What other programs are out
there that would be similar to this ordinance for people to get compensated for being displaced?
Commissioner Monahan-Junek said she would like staff to research the same information for
town homes as well.
Mr. Roberts said as he understands, when the government is involved and they buy out an area
or a property, there is compensation. If a private party does the buy out, there is no mandatory
compensation for residents, but it can be negotiated.
Mr. Paist said a manufactured home park ordinance is not going to solve all the problems.
However, it will provide some compensation for the people that are displaced. The City of
Maplewood has the ability to designate the wording in the ordinance. The city can use the 20%
cap rule or use the taxed assessed value for compensation.
Commissioner Pearson said because of the possible conflict of interest for him, he will abstain
from voting on this issue. He said a 20% cap bothers him. He wonders what is magical about
20% and why is that fair compensation.
Planning Commission
Minutes of 07-15-02
-6-
Mr. Paist said he does not know what is magic about a 20% cap, but some compensation for the
homeowner is better than ending up with nothing.
Beverl~ from 1249 Antelope Way, Beaver Lake Estates, addressed the commission. She
wants to have the protection for her home in case something should happen. She would like to
sell her home one day in good faith and not have to worry about someone else being stuck with
this problem and not getting compensated.
Commissioner Rossbach said he would like to have time to reflect on everything he has heard at
the meeting before trying to vote on this ordinance. He moved to table this item until the next
planning commission meeting before making a recommendation to the city council.
Commissioner Dierich seconded.
Ayes- Dierich, Fischer, Monahan-Junek,
Mueller, Rossbach
Nay- Trippler
Abstention - Pearson
The motion is tabled.
Commissioner Pearson said the City of Maplewood should get a task force together to decide
what the city wants worded in the ordinance.
Commissioner Rossbach said he thinks the commission should first decide if there should be an
ordinance or not. Then the commission could recommend to the city council what they think
should happen.
Chairperson Fischer asked staff if they could find out, of the cities that passed the ordinance, how
many parks each city has in their community, and if theirs is disparate in value, size, occupancy,
and how they came to the conclusions on caps.
Commissioner Dierich asked staff if they could get the tax base for some of these manufactured
home parks such as Beaver Lake Estates? This would help the commission know if a park
closing were to happen, what financial impact this would have on the city.
VIII. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
Mr. Robed Ogilvie at 1249 Antelope Way, said he wanted to tell Ms. Dierich that the taxes for
Beaver Lake Estates are $5,510,000 and gross $1,000,000.

MEMORANDUM
City Manager
Ken Roberts, Associate Planner
Conditional Use Permit and Design Review - Keller Golf Course
Maintenance Building
2166 Maplewood Ddve
July 30, 2002
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Joe Carried of PCL Construction and Kevin Finley, of Ramsey County Parks and Recreation
Department, are proposing to build a 10,560 square-foot maintenance building at Keller Golf
Course. Refer to the maps on pages 6 - 12 and the applicant's statement on page 15. The
proposed building would replace the older of the two existing maintenance buildings on the site.
The county would keep the brown-colored structure. The exterior of the proposed maintenance
building would have metal panel siding and a standing seam metal roof. Refer to the project plans.
The proPOsed maintenance building would have bathrooms with changing areas, a cold storage
area, offices, a shop area and covered wash bay.
Requests
Mr. Finley is requesting that the city approve:
1. A conditional use permit (CUP) to expand a public building. Section 36-437 of the city code
requires a CUP for a public service or public building uses in any zoning district.
2. The building design, site and landscape plans.
BACKGROUND
In 1981, the city approved plans for a 30-foot by 64-foot pole barn for Keller Golf Course. This is
the southern maintenance building on the site (the building that will remain on the site).
In 1989, the city approved plans for a 944 square-foot addition and remodeling for the Keller Golf
Course clubhouse.
DISCUSSION
Conditional Use Permit
The city council should approve this permit. The proposed building would be attractive and would
be an improvement over the existing building. This would benefit the county by improving their golf
facility and the view of the site from Highway 61.
Design Considerations
Building Elevations
0
Staff finds no problem with the placement and choice of materials for the proposed maintenance
building. The city code allows corrugated metal buildings in farm districts. As proposed, the
building would have a metal panel exterior with dormers facing Highway 61. The plans also show a
wainscot base panel for a contrasting color or for rock -faced block.
The proposed site plans shows this building set back 30 feet from the Highway 61 right-of-way. Mr.
Finley told me that the roof would be green, that the sides would be white and the trim and doors
would be beige.
Sprinkling
Code requires that the developer or owner install an in -ground sprinkler system for any new
landscaped areas. The city can waive the sprinklering requirement if there is an alternative
method for watering plantings. The golf course is essentially a lawn and landscaping maintenance
operation. There is no need for an in -ground lawn irrigation system around the new building since
the county staff would maintain the grounds as they always have.
Tree Replacement, Landscaping and Screening
The city ordinance requires that the applicant replace "significant' trees that would be cut down.
Significant trees are over -story trees such as maples, oaks or ash of eight inches in caliper or
greater. The largest concentration of such trees is next to Highway 61. The county should not
have any problem meeting the city code for tree preservation/replacement with the trees they will
preserve and the new trees they will plant. Mr. Finley told me that he is having a landscape plan
prepared for the site. The community design review board (CDRB) should review and approve this
plan before staff issues the building permit.
Parking
The proposed site plan shows 15 parking spaces to the south of the new maintenance building.
The city code does not have a specific parking standard for this type of facility. The county should
provide enough paved parking for the employees that would park in the area. As an example, I
counted 14 vehicles parked around the maintenance buildings on July 22, 2002. In addition, there
should not be any parking on the landscape areas or along the driveway to the buildings.
Dumpsters
The county now has garbage dumpsters sitting outside to the north of the existing buildings. The
city should require Ramsey County to install a dumpster enclosure as a part of this project to meet
current code standards.
Other Comments
Building Official
A building permit is required. We have had a meeting with the architect and the owner and we are
working with them.

KELLER GOLF COURSE
NEW MAINTENANCE FACILITY
INTENDED USE OF PROPERTY
Ramsey County needs to replace an aging, undersized maintenance structure on the
Keller Golf Course with a new structure that not only meets today's needs, but is also
flexible and adaptable to meet the needs of the golf course maintenance operations for
many years to come.
The maintenance facility will provide increased space for proper operation of the
maintenance program. The project scope includes design and construction of a
10,560SF maintenance facility, including mechanics shop, cold storage for vehicles and
equipment, offices and employee areas, as well as access road upgrades and
improvements, new parking area, utilities, site grading and landscaping.
The facility will be architecturally compatible and complement the other buildings on the
golf course and will meet the needs of the Keller Golf Course maintenance operations
for many years to come.

Storm Water Management/Storm Water Treatment & Misc~ drainao, e issues:
Basically, all the existing runoff drains toward the T.H. 61 right-of-way and
eventually into the Keller Lake. This area is in the shore land district. The
applicant has stated that the impervious surface on the site will increase from
31,600 to 43,600 S.F. or 38%.. In addition there will be additional steep slopes
added on the site.
Submit revised plans addressing the followino_:
1. The applicant shall incorporate Best Management Practices, (BMP's) into the design
where practical. See the Metro Council website for additional information on best
management practices.
http://www.metrocouncil.org/enviroment/Watershed/bmpmanual.htm
Contact Maplewood Assistant City Engineer, Chris Cavett at 651-770-4554, with
questions.
2. One form of BMP, that is strongly recommended are bio-infiltration basins, (Rainwater
Gardens). It is strongly recommended that a large rainwater garden (Wet Prairie
meadow) be constructed in the area around the "Area Drain". The "Area Drain" may
still be usable, but the outlet pipe appears to be in state of disrepair and inspected and
considered for replacement. The "Area Drain" should be altered to create an overflow
drain rather than a low point drain. (NOTE: location of current under ground utilities).
As this site is part of a large regional drainage system, basically treatment needs to be
addressed. With that criteria, the bio-infiltration basin shall be designed to hold a raw
volume (infiltration volume) of the greater of either:
· Runoff from a ½" rain event for the entire post-development drainage area, or
· Runoff from a 1.25" rain event contributed by all the impervious surfaces.
(Note: the alternative to the rainwater garden is to design a NURP Pond to current
NURP design criteria)
The rainwater garden may be designed to hold as little as 3" - 6" of water over a large
area before flowing into the area drain. The remaining water will then be allowed to
infiltrate in the basin area. Depth of the basin may vary depending on soil type.
NOTE: the most critical issue is the preparation of the basin area:
The garden area should be sub-cut to provide 12-inches of bedding material. The
bedding material should consist of a mixture of 50% salvaged on-site topsoil and clean
50% organic compost. Most importantly, the sub-soils in the rainwater garden should
be scarified to a minimum depth of 12-inches before the bedding material is placed.
16
Rock Infiltration Sumps may be installed in heavier soils below the rainwater gardens
to facilitate infiltration. Provide a detail in the plan. Rock infiltration sumps that have
been done by the city are typically 4' Diameter X 3' deep with 1 ½" clean clear rock
wrapped in type 5 geotextile filter fabric, (felt). The top of the rock infiltration sump is
placed approx. 12-inches below finished bottom of the rainwater garden. The rainwater
garden should be protected with silt fence after grading to prevent silting into the area,
as well as compaction of the soil by construction equipment. The rainwater garden area
should be topped before or after planting with "shredded" wood mulch. '~Noodchips"
are NOT acceptable mulching material.
A landscape plan for the bioretention basins/rainwater gardens shall be required as
part of final plan approval. Consider modeling the large basin after the other native
planting areas on the golf course, such as the slope to the east of the site or the island at
the entrance road. The infiltration basin could be designed as a wet native prairie
meadow. This site is very visible from the road.
The applicant may consider doing the final preparation of the rainwater gardens near
the end of construction, as the site will be more stable and less susceptible to erosion.
Continue to protect with silt fence as necessary.
A second rainwater garden or similar BMP shall be constructed at CB 1, to prevent
direct runoff into that catch basin. The catch basin shall also act as an overflow.
A swale or similar BMP shall be graded to direct drainage from the south parking lot
towards the north and into the large infiltration area.
5. Additional BMP's may be considered in other areas.
Miscellaneous:
What is proposed for the existing drive? Nothing is noted in the plans, however it seems
clear that something is planned. What is the proposed Section? How is the drainage to
be managed?
Will there be any parking along this drive? If parking will be permitted, then a
concrete treatment is required by code. Consider a concrete curb and gutter along the
east side, (hill) and a concrete ribbon along the west side to allow water to sheet drain
offthe drive into the green area.
Slopes shall not exce~ 3:1 unless a no-maintenance landscape and permanent erosion
protection plan is prepared. It appeared that all slopes were greater than 3:1, though it
was difficult to determine.
The grading plan submitted was very difficult to review. The grading plan was smaller
than an 80 scale on 11X17 plans. The plans had been reduced again to fit on the 11X17
paper and were no longer to any scale. Final submittal shall be scaled, legible plans.

Manufactured Home Park Closing Ordinance
July 31, 2002
INTRODUCTION
On June 17 and July 15, 2002, staff presented a request by All Parks Alliance for Change
(APAC), and several manufactured home park residents in Maplewood, that the city adopt an
ordinance guaranteeing park residents financial assistance to relocate if their park closed. On
February 25, 2002, the city council directed staff to study this request and to forward a
recommendation to them. Refer to the attached April 3, 2002 memorandum for details.
At the July 15 meeting, the planning commission raised several questions and tabled action so
staff could address their concerns (PC minutes are attached). Refer to the Discussion section
below.
BACKGROUND
April 9, 2002: The Maplewood Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) discussed this
matter. The HRA tabled this issue until the city receives notification of a manufactured home park
closing. They felt that since there are no proposed or pending closings at this time, there is no
urgency to act immediately.
The HRA discussed the needs-vs.-greed aspects of APAC's suggested ordinance. The HRA also
wanted to know from the city attomey if the city would have sufficient time to enact an ordinance
at the time of a proposed park closing that would be applicable to that park or if it would only
apply to future closings in the city. (The city attorney said an ordinance could be adopted that
would apply to a proposed closing as well as future ones.)
On June 17 and July 15, 2002, the planning commission discussed this request and tabled action
so staff can address their questions.
DISCUSSION
Planning Commission's Questions
1. As manufactured-home parks have closed, what has been the relocation costs paid by
developers or park owners?
Of the 14 cities that have adopted manufactured-home park closing ordinances, three
have had park closures. These cities are: Bloomington, Elk River and Hopkins. APAC
has provided data on the payments made to park residents in the Collins Park in
Bloomington and in the Hopkins Pines Trailer Park in Hopkins. They did not have data for
the park in Elk River. Refer to the data on pages 5-7.
In summary, at the Collins Park in Bloomington, each owner of a singlewide home
received an average of $2369.44 (51 homes). Each owner of a doublewide home
received an average of $3425.38 (39 homes). At the Hopkins Pines Trailer Park, the
average payout to the 34 displaced residents was $4818. There was no breakdown as to
single vs. doublewide homes.
What would displaced apartment or townhouse residents be paid when an apartment
building gets sold or is condemned by the govemment?
Displaced apartment residents would not be reimbursed if their complex was sold for
redevelopment. If residents were displaced by a govemmental agency due to
condemnation, they would be entitled to relocation costs that would include moving
expenses and assistance in finding a new place to live.
What other programs would be similar to this ordinance that would compensate people for
displacement?
None, other than receiving relocation costs due to governmental condemnation as
previously noted.
Of the cities that passed park-closing ordinances, how many parks does each city have in
their community? Among these communities, if they have parks that are dissimilar in
value, size and occupancy, how did they come to their conclusion on caps for
reimbursement?
Fourteen cities have adopted park-closing ordinances. Refer to page 8.
Payment Caps
Staff checked with three cities that have payment caps in their ordinances.
The City of Fddley has two parks. One is larger, nicer and newer than the other. The
Fddley City Planner explained that they chose a 20 percent cap based on two reasons.
One was comparison with existing park-closing ordinances. They felt that this was a
percentage that was used in other ordinances they studied. The other was a compromise
between those wanting a higher payoff amount and those wanting a lesser, or zero,
amount.
The City of Oakdale has two parks that are comparable in age and quality. According to
the Oakdale City Planner, the establishment of a cap on payment was not debated to a
great degree. They established a maximum payment of the greater of either 25 percent of
the sale or purchase pdce by the park owner to a buyer for the closure, or the Washington
County Assessor's assessed value of the manufactured home.
The City of Shakopee has one park. According to the Shakopee City Planner, they
established their cap °n payment by caps stated in other ordinances.
What is the tax base for the manufactured-home parks in Maplewood? (This would help
the commission know, if a park closing were to happen, what financial impact this would
have on the city.)
The following chart lists the land/building values and the tax amounts of each of the five
Maplewood manufactured home parks from Ramsey County data.
Park Name Acres #of Lots Value *Taxes
St. Paul Toudst Cabins 6.22 45 $540,000 $11,842
1880 English Street 1.15 19 $254,000 $6,944
Town & Country 6.00 120 $1.25 mil $22,168
Beaver Lake 37.8 254 $3.42 mil $69,112
Rolling Hills 37.5 357 $4.50 mil $84,880
* According to Ramsey County tax records, the above tax amounts are charged against
the manufactured-home park property. Each resident also pays taxes for their home
based on the structure's age, size, and condition. A representative of the Ramsey County
Department of Taxation told me taxes on the structures range from about $40 to $500 per
year.
Any redevelopment would result in a new use of these properties that would also be
taxable. Town & Country is the only manufactured home park of these five that might
possibly become something other than another residential use due to its highway-frontage
location.
Staff compared taxes with similar-sized properties in the neighborhoods around St. Paul
Toudst Cabins and Beaver Lake/Rolling Hills manufactured-home parks. One block east
of the St. Paul Tourist Cabins, staff evaluated a six-acre block with 18 single dwellings.
The total of taxes paid by these 18 property owners is $28,902 ($1,605 per lot). An
existing, comparable-size development with 20 townhomes generates $29,662 in taxes.
A 40-acre single-family tract in the Oakddge Estates development near Beaver Lake and
Rolling Hills generates a total of $200,854 ($2,954 per lot) in taxes. There are not any
existing 40-acre townhouse or apartment developments in this area for comparison.
County records, however, show that the Rosewood Estates property and the adjacent
future Beaver Lake Townhomes site presently generate a total of $145,656 in taxes per
year. This amount will certainly increase after the Beaver Lake Townhome development
is constructed.
6. What might the range of additional costs to manufactured-home park residents be if rates
were increased due to the adoption of a park-closing ordinance?
There is no data indicating what rents could be increased to in the event a park-closing
ordinance was enacted by a city. There is state law that requires that rule and rate
changes be done in a "reasonable" fashion. Laura Mapp of APAC stated that there have
been cases supported by the courts where rent or rate increases have been made that fall
within a $30 to $50 range.

LETTER FROM A RESIDENT
Robert and Bevedy Ogilvie, of 1249 Antelope Way in the Beaver Lake Manufactured Home Park,
spoke at the last planning commission meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Ogilvie have submitted the letter on
page 9 for the planning commission's review and consideration.
CONCLUSION
Staff has not formed a recommendation about this matter. The input received at the planning
commission meeting will aid staff in forwarding a recommendation to the city council. Staff will
schedule this item for city council review at their second meeting in August.

Attachment 1
~I~APAC (City of Bloomington): APAC stated that it would protect the
Park Closing Ordinance first passed in this city in 1989 from any challenges
and attempts at weakening it.
In the Fall of 1992, it bec~me apparent that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. w~s
attempting to purchase the property to convert it to a retail store. Residents
once again packed Planning C~t~i'ssion hearings and City Council Meetings to
advocate that no approval of this project be given without clear assurances by
Wal-Mart officials and the park owner that all provisions of the ordinance
would be complied with. Residents gained those assurances after many public
and private meetings.
Additionally, APACleaders called for an interpretation of the ordinance by
Bloomington city attorneys to clear up some issues~rela%ed to moving expenses,
home compensation, and personal property moving expenses. The city attorneys
returned a favorable interpretation and residents utilized this in sit down
negotiations with the park owner's attorneys. ~=veral park meetings were then
held in late Spring of 1993 to allow residents of Collins to understand the
park closure process.
It ~-as agreed that residents would receive reasonable relocation funds for all
costs incurred during the relocation process. An official park closure notice
~-as delivered to Collins Park households on May 21st, 1993. The residents had
until February 21st, 1994 to zracate the premises. Most residents moved out
between the 3rd and the 6th month of the notice period.
Each single wide home received ar] average of '$2369.44 (51 hcm~_s) and each
double wide home received an average of $3425.38 $3425.38 (39 hc~es), although
some double wides cost 'as much as $5350! In addition, the ordinance required
that each household be compensated for personal property moving exQ~enses
(furniture, fragile property, motel expenses). Resident leaders negotiated an
amount of $900 per household.
A process ~as also created for determining w~ich homes could not be relocated,
due to age, condition, or lack of available space. Residents in these homes
will be compensated for the loss of their homes based on their tax assessed
values.
Eleven homeowners opted to sell their homes to private buyers and therefore
received only the $900 personal property moving expense money.
If no Park Closing Ordinance had ever been passed and no efforts to preserve
the relocation and compensation amounts had been made, the residents of Collins
would have been devastated economically. Based on the final figures for
implementing the park closing, Collins residents would have incurred at least
$335,431.26 to remove their homes, decks, sheds, and personal property in nine
months.

Planning commission members,
Madam chair person and Committee members',
From the last meeting I gather that most of you
want more information. My name is Rol~ert Ogilvie and ! live in Beaver Lake Estates.
Beaver Lake Estates is like a city in a city. All the roads, lights, trees, tree trimming, snow
piercing, is maintained by the park. it doesn't cost the city ofMaplewood a dime, The
only service provided by Maplewood is Police and Fire protection. At this time the
estima~d tax value on homes in the park are over $5.5 mit/ion. I call that a plus for
Maplewood no maintermanee costs but all the tax money. In the second place this
ordinance will not cost the city any money. It w/Il even the playing field between
manufactured home owners and other home owners. By other home owners I'm speaking
' about the people that technically lease from the .government, like I said when I spoke at
the last meeting, in other words I could get a fare market value for my property.
Manufactured home living at this time is the most economical way to go, for a new
family starting out by buying a manufactured home and leasing the land in a park it is as
cheap as renting if not cheaper. For a new family starting out it provides a place to live
while establishing an equity in there property. For us older people like me, according to
guide lines I don't earn enough money to qualify to pay the rent in some of the
apartments, and too much to qualify for low housing assistance.
At this time I don't know of any park closings in Maplewood. This is a business and
investers are making money on these parks. If not. No one would invest. For instance if
an invester bought Beaver Lake Estates, with the new ordinance in place, should the new
owner decide to close the park. home owners would be payed a fare market value for
their property., in which case the invester would own all the houses and could sell them
to recoup some of their expense.
When I invested in my home in the park there was no time limits c~n the lease, only
park rules, back 12 years ago no one talked about park closings, therefore I assumed like
all the rest that the lease was tike'the other home owners leases.
I would like to see home owners be on an equal base. Thank you

Manufactured Home Park Closing Ordinance Amendment
Mr. Tom Ekstrand, the Assistant Community Development Director, addressed the commission.
He reviewed the planning commission's questions from their previous meeting and the answers
he received about those questions.
Commissioner Monahan-Junek asked' Mr. Ekstrand to describe what the state .statute says
regarding manufactured home parks.
Mr. Ekstrand said the state statute says that the state requires the park owner to notify the city at
least nine months before the manufactured home would close. They then give direction to the
city where the city would notify the park residents and hold a public hearing to discuss the
closing. The city "may" require compensation by the city and others that may be appropriate. The
manufactured home ordinances in the cities of Oakdale and Roseville state the city "shall" be
required to compensate residents of the manufactured home park.
Mr. Dick Pearson, the owner of the Rolling Hills Mobile Home Park, addressed the commission.
They have 357 homeowners in this community. He feels this ordinance should not be applicable
to his park. He feels their responsibility is to maintain the homes and the grounds, and he feels
APAC should not be given power to make any decisions.
Mr. Robert Ogilvie of 1249 Antelope Way, Beaver Lake Estates, addressed the commission. He
said if a homeowner gets displaced, he gets fair market value for his home. The homeowners in
manufactured home parks want fair market value for their homes as well. He said 19% of his rent
goes for property taxes for his lot rent. He also pays taxes on his manufactured home. He wants
fair market value for his manufactured home, and he wants it now.
Commissioner Pearson asked Mr. Ogilvie if he has a copy of the proposed ordinance that APAC
has?
Mr. Ogilvie said he has a copy of the ordinance, but he did not have a chance to read the
ordinance.
Mr. James Paist, the Executive Director for APAC, addressed the commission. He said 13 out of
15 cities have passed a manufactured home park closing ordinance. (except for Brainerd and
Willmar). State law does not give any compensation for park closing to its residents. This can be
disastrous for homeowners in manufactured home parks. The ordinance can be written however
the city would like it written. If the City of Maplewood wants to put a cap on the amount of money
a homeowner can receive, they can do that. If a homeowner has a manufactured home that is
worth considerably more than someone else's manufactured home, then a cap wouldn't provide
enough relocation compensation. Oakdale goes by the tax-assessed value of the home for
compensation. There are four or five cities that do not have any cap.
Commissioner Rossbach asked how APAC came about?
Mr. Paist said it was formed in 1980 when a group of manufactured home residents in Anoka
County got together and formed Anoka People's Alliance. They got together to organize around
the issue of no cause eviction. Previously people could be evicted for no cause and owners of
manufactured home parks could arbitrarily evict people without any cause. It later grew into a
statewide organization for APAC. They also have a statewide tenant hotline for people to use for
questions about their manufactured home park. They occasionally work for park owners and park
residents, but mostly they are advocates for the park residents. They share information about
state laws, and they do community organizing. They may look at getting playground equipment in
their park as well as other issues for the residents.
Chairperson Fischer asked Mr. Paist of the 13 out of 15 cities that have passed this ordinance,
how many of the cities have one manufactured home park in their city?
Mr. Paist said he is only aware of the City of Shakopee that had only one manufactured home
park. There were 26 manufactured homes in it.
Commissioner Trippler said he understood that the ordinance read that the buyers would have to
pay for the attachments, sheds, porches and the manufactured home to either be moved or for
the compensation of the home.
Mr. Paist said as far as the attachments, sheds, porches etc., the ordinance is designed to
include that in moving it, but if it comes to buying out the home for the taxed-assessed value of
the home, they would only be paid for the home, not the attachments.
Commissioner Trippler asked Mr. Paist if APAC advocates raising the rents at the manufactured
home parks.
Mr. Paist said, in their experience, rent has been going up consistently enough without them
getting involved.
Chairperson Fischer asked if any of the cities that passed this ordinance had been challenged in
court?
Mr. Paist said the Arcadia Corporation challenged the City of Bloomington in court and it went to
the Court of Appeals in 1986 and was upheld. When homeowners get displaced in a
manufactured home park, it affects the city, the social service agencies, churches, shelters etc.
because people turn to these agencies when they are in need of help.
Commissioner Mueller said he would like to know from APAC or staff as parks have closed, what
has been the relocation percentage of buy out costs for developers or park owners?
Commissioner Rossbach asked staffto find out what residents would be paid when an apartment
building gets sold or condemned and the residents get displaced? What other programs are out
there that would be similar to this ordinance for people to get compensated for being displaced?
Commissioner Monahan-Junek said she would like staff to research the same information for
town homes as well.
Mr. Roberts said as he understands, when the government is involved and they buy out an area
or a property, there is compensation. If a private party does the buy out, there is no mandatory
compensation for residents, but it can be negotiated.
Mr. Paist said a manufactured home park ordinance is not going to solve all the problems.
However, it will provide some compensation for the people that are displaced. The City of
Maplewood has the ability to designate the wording in the ordinance. The city can use the 20%
cap rule or use the taxed assessed value for compensation.
Commissioner Pearson said because of the possible conflict of interest for him, he will abstain
from voting on this issue. He said a 20% cap bothers him. He wonders what is magical about
20% and why is that fair compensation.
Mr. Paist said he does not know what is magic about a 20% cap, but some compensation for the
homeowner is better than ending up with nothing.
Beverly Ogilvie from 1249 Antelope Way, Beaver Lake Estates, addressed the commission. She
wants to have the protection for her home in case something should happen. She would like to
sell her home one day in good faith and not have to worry about someone else being stuck with
this problem and not getting compensated.
Commissioner Rossbach said he would like to have time to reflect on everything he has heard at
the meeting before trying to vote on this ordinance. He moved to table this item until the next
planning commission meeting before making a recommendation to the city council.
Commissioner Dierich seconded.
Ayes - Dierich, Fischer, Monahan-Junek,
Mueller, Rossbach
Nay- Trippler
Abstention - Pearson
The motion is tabled.
Commissioner Pearson said the City of Maplewood should get a task force together to decide
what the city wants worded in the ordinance.
Commissioner Rossbach said he thinks the commission should first decide if there should be an
ordinance or not. Then the commission could recommend to the city council what they think
should happen.
Chairperson Fischer asked staff if they could find out, of the cities that passed the ordinance, how
many parks each city has in their community, and if theirs is disparate in value, size, occupancy,
and how they came to the conclusions on caps.
Commissioner Dierich asked staff if they could get the tax base for some of these manufactured
home parks such as Beaver Lake Estates? This would help the commission know if a park
closing were to happen, what financial impact this would have on the city.

Manufactured Home Park.Closing Ordinance Discussion
April 3, 2002
INTRODUCTION
Background
In 1987, the Minnesota State Legislature passed a law allowing cities and municipalities to pass
park-closing ordinances (Minnesota Statutes, Section 327C.095). The purpose of such an
ordinance is to help protect citizens living in manufactured home parks in the event of a park
closing by requiring park owners to reimburse homeowners for relocation costs if their home can
be moved, and if not, purchase the manufactured home. (See Section 327C.095 on pages 5
through 8.)
The City of Maplewood received a proposed manufactured home park-closing ordinance for the
city council's review from All Parks Alliance for Change (APAC) (see attached APAC letter and
proposed ordinance on pages 9 through 13). APAC is a non-profit organization that serves as a
tenant's union for manufactured home owners. They help organize park residents to understand
and protect their rights as specified in state law.
APAC sent a mailing to a majority of the city's park residents regarding their proposed ordinance.
In the mailing they requested that the residents show their support of a park-closing ordinance by
signing their name and address to a postcard and sending it to the city. To date, the city has
received 190 postcards in support of the proposed ordinance. (See the language used by APAC
on the postcard and the names and addresses of the residents in support of the proposed
ordinance on pages 14 through 24.)
On February 25, 2002, after reviewing APAC's proposed manufactured home park-closing
ordinance, the city council directed staff to review the request and forward a recommendation to
them.
Request
Staff is requesting input from the Maplewood Housing Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to assist
us in our review of APAC's request, and the many manufactured home park resident's request,
for the city to pass a manufactured home park-closing ordinance.
DISCUSSION
Manufactured Home Park-Closing Legislation
The park-closing legislation came out of a situation in Bloomington when Lyndale Lodge
Manufactured Home Park was sold for redevelopment as a car dealership. Many of the homes
were too old to move and therefore forced the residents to sell their homes for very little. This left
many of the residents financially devastated and homeless. Alarmed by these events, the
legislature passed the park closing law in 1987.
The law states that a park owner must notify the city and the residents of a park closing nine
months prior to the proposed closing. Once notice is received, the city must hold a public hearing
to review the impacts that the park closing may have on the displaced residents and the park
owners. The city may require payment by the park owner to be made to the displaced resident
for reasonable relocation costs. If a resident cannot relocate the home to another park within 25
miles of the park that is being closed, the resident is entitled to relocation costs based upon an
average of relocation costs awarded to other residents. The law further states that the city may
also require that other parties, including the city, involved in the park closing provide additional
compensation to residents to mitigate the adverse financial impact of the park closing upon the
resident.
After the law was enacted, the City of Bloomington adopted a park-closing ordinance and
required the Lyndale Lodge Manufactured Home Park owner to reimburse the park residents for
relocation costs or purchase the homes. The park owners brought the City of Bloomington to
court over the ordinance claiming that it was a land taking. The Minnesota Court of Appeals
upheld Bloomington's ordinance in Arcadia vs. City of Bloominqton, 1994, and the park owners
were required to reimburse the homeowners for relocation costs or purchase the homes.
Existing Park-Closing Ordinances
Thirteen cities within the State of Minnesota currently have park-closing ordinances: Apple
Valley, Bloomington, Burnsville, Hopkins, Elk River, Dayton, Fridley, Lake Elmo, Moundsview,
Oakdale, Red Wing, Roseville, and Shakopee. Most of these ordinances require that park
owners reimburse manufactured home owners to relocate their homes within 25 miles. If
relocation is not possible, the park owner or land developer must purchase the home for the
market value as determined by an independent appraiser approved by the city. In addition, some
cities' ordinances place a cap on the amount of reimbursement. For example, the park owner or
land developer would only have to reimburse up to 20 percent of the purchase price of the park or
the assessed value of the park.
Two cities within 'the State of Minnesota, Brainerd and VVillmar, reviewed park-closing ordinances
and chose not to pass one. Both of these proposed ordinances were brought on by actual park
closings.
All Parks Alliance for Change Proposed Ordinance
APAC's proposed ordinance mirrors Elk River's ordinance passed in 1997. It states that the park
owner or land developer shall pay the displaced resident the reasonable cost of relocating the
home to another park within 25 miles. Reasonable costs include expenses incurred in moving
the home and personal property, insurance for replacement value of the property being moved,
and cost of repairs or modifications that are required in order to take down, move and set up the
home. If the home cannot be moved, the resident is entitled to relocation costs based upon an
average of costs awarded to other residents plus the park owner or land developer must
purchase the home at the amount equal to the estimated market value of the home. ^PAC's
proposed ordinance does not include a cap on the amount that a park owner or land developer
would have to reimburse the residents.
Upon notice of APAC's proposed manufactured home park closing ordinance, Traci Tomas,
agent for the St. Paul Tourist Cabins, submitted a letter to the city regarding her experience with
park-closing ordinances passed in the Cities of Fridley and Shakopee (see attached St. Paul
Manufactured Home Park Closings 2 April 3, 2002
Tourist Cabin letter and Fridley's and Shakopee's park-closing ordinances on pages 25-30). As a
manufactured home park owner representative, Ms. Tomas found that the City of Shakopee's
ordinance allowed for the most flexibility for possible future city development of manufactured
home park properties.
City of Maplewood Manufactured Home Parks
There are five manufactured home parks with a total of 789 homes within the City of Maplewood
(see map on page 37):

TOTAL 795 789
St. Paul Tourist Cabins and Maplewood Manufactured Home Park have older manufactured
homes, many of which would not meet current building code standards. Since the St. Paul
Toudst Cabins have been under new ownership as of last year, six of the older manufactured
homes have been removed. The new owners state that they will be replacing the older homes
with newer homes.
Beaver Lake, Rolling Hills, and Town and Country have a mix of new and old homes. These
three parks have given residents the opportunity to trade-in their existing manufactured home for
newer models, or when a resident leaves, the park owners purchase the older home and replace
it with a newer home.
Manufactured home park residents own their home but rent the land the home sits on. The
average cost of a new manufactured home is from $30,000 for a standard size to $60,000 for a
double wide. The average cost of an older manufactured home varies widely from $500 for the
oldest models to $4,000. Rental space is approximately $270 per month and usually covers
sewer, water, garbage, and snow removal.
There are no studies to indicate the average annual income of manufactured home park residents
within the City of Maplewood. However, a study of manufactured home park residents in East
Bethel, Minnesota, conducted by the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs in 1998, indicated
Manufactured Home Park Closings
3 April 3, 2002
that the mean annual household income of manufactured home residents was from $10,000 to
$29,999.
Possible Pros and Cons
Pros:
APAC points out that it would prove difficult to find an available manufactured home site within a
25omile radius of a park within the City of Maplewood because of the Iow vacancy rates. Also,
many of the manufactured homes are older and cannot be moved. Because of this and the fact
that most of these homeowners have lower-income, a park closing could prove to be a financial
catastrophe for many of the city's residents.
As stated by APAC in their attached letter, residents living in conventional homes receive
compensation when their property is sold for redevelopment. However, residents that own a
home within a manufactured home park are not guaranteed any kind of compensation if their park
is closed because they do not own the land that their home sits on. APAC states that a park-
closing ordinance would ensure that the residents of the manufactured home parks in Maplewood
would receive fair compensation for their homes in the event a park closes.
Oons:
Mark Brunner, executive vice president of Minnesota Manufactured Housing Association
(MMHA), states that such an ordinance would hinder redevelopment within the City of Maplewood
due to the added expense to the developer. He points out that bank lenders may also be more
hesitant to refinance loans for park upgrades and improvements if such an ordinance were in
place and questions the fairness of how the values of the manufactured homes are determined in
some of the existing ordinances. Also, MMHA believes that the language in the law which states
"other parties involved in the park closing may provide additional compensation to residents" is
intended to not only mean the park owner or developer, but entities such as the city, housing
redevelopment authority, or other entities that may be able to tie into reimbursement.
Mr. Brunner states that the current law gives the manufactured home residents the protections
needed because it allows cities to determine compensation to the residents at the time of a
closing. MMHA is opposed to such an ordinance because it could be considered a land taking
and would put a burden on the property owner.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the HRA provide input into the proposed manufactured home park-closing
ordinance.

Attachment 1
327C.095 Park closings.
Subdivision 1. Conversion of use; minimum notice. At
least nine months before the conversion of all or a portion of a
manufactured home park to another use, or before closure of a
manufactured home park or cessation of use of the land as a
manufactured home park, the park owner must prepare a closure
statement and provide a copy to the local planning agency and a
copy to a resident of each manufactured home where the
residential use is being converted. A resident may not be
required to vacate until 60 days after the conclusion of the
public heating required under subdivision 4. If a lot is
available in another section of the park that will continue to
be operated as a park, the park owner must allow the resident to
relocate the home to that lot unless the home, because of its
size or local ordinance, is not compatible with that lot.
Subd. 2. Notice of hearing; proposed change in land
use. If the planned conversion or cessation of operation
requires a variance or zoning change, the municipality must mail
a ~otice at least ten days before the hearing to a resident of
each manufactured home in the park stating the time, place, and
purpose of the public hearing. The park owner shall provide the
municipality with a list of the names and addresses of at least
one resident of each manufactured home in the park at the time
application is made for a variance or zoning change.
Subd. 3. Closure statement. Upon receipt of the
closure statement from the park owner, the local planning agency
shall submit the closure statement to the governing body of the
municipality and request the governing body to schedule a public
headng. The municipality must mail a notice at least ten days
before the hearing to a resident of each manufactured home in
the park stating the time, place, and purpose of the public
hearing. The park owner shall provide the municipality with a
list of the names and addresses of at least one resident of each
manufactured home in the park at the time the closure statement
is submitted to the local planning agency.
Subd. 4. Public hearing; relocation costs. The
governing body of the municipality shall hold a public hearing
to review the closure statement and any impact that the park
closing may have on the displaced residents and the park owner.
Before any change in use or cessation of operation and as a
condition of the change, the governing body may require a
payment by the park owner to be made to the displaced resident
for the reasonable relocation costs. If a resident cannot
relocate the home to another manufactured home park within a 25
mile radius of the park that is being closed, the resident is
entitled to relocation costs based upon an average of relocation
costs awarded to other residents.
The governing body of the municipality may also require
that other parties, including the municipality, involved in the
park closing provide additional compensation to residents to
mitigate the adverse financial impact of the park closing upon
the residents.
Subd. 5. Park conversions. If the planned cessation
of operation is for the purpose of converting the part of the
park occuPied by the resident to a common interest community
pursuant to chapter 515B, the provisions of section 515B.4-111,
except' subsection (a), shall apply. The nine-month notice
required by this section shall state that the cessation is for
the purpose of conversion and shall set forth the rights
conferred by this subdivision and section 515B.4-111, subsection
(b). Not less than 120 days before the end of the nine months,
the park owner shall serve upon the resident a form of purchase
agreement setting forth the terms of sale contemplated by
section 515B.4-111, subsection (d). Service of that form shall
operate as the notice described by section 515B.4-111,
subsection (a).
Subd. 6. Intent to convert use of park at time of
purchase. Before the execution of an agreement to purchase a
manufactured home park, the purchaser must notify the park
owner, in writing, if the purchaser intends to close the
manufactured home park or convert it to another use within one
year of the execution of the agreement. The park owner shall
provide a resident of each manufactured home with a 45-day
written notice of the purchaser's intent to close the park or
convert it to another use. The notice must state that the park
owner will provide information on the cash price and the terms
and conditions of the purchaser's offer to residents requesting
the information. The notice must be sent by first class mail to
a resident of each manufactured home in the park. The notice
period begins on the postmark date affixed to the notice and
ends 45 days after it begins. During the notice period required
in this subdivision, the owners of at least 51 percent of the
manufactured homes in the park or a nonprofit organization which
has the written permission of the owners of at least 51 percent
of the manufactured homes in the park to represent them in the
acquisition of the park shall have the right to meet the cash
price and execute an agreement to purchase the park for the
purposes of keeping the park as a manufactured housing
community. The park owner must accept the offer if it meets the
cash price and the same terms and conditions set forth in the
purchaser's offer except that the seller is not obligated to
provide owner financing. For purposes of this section, cash
price means the cash price offer or equivalent cash offer as
defined in section 500.245, subdivision 1, paragraph (d).

subdivision, the date of purchase is the date of the transfer of
the title to the purchaser. The purchaser must provide a
resident of each manufactured home with a written notice of the
intent to close the park and all of the owners of at least 51
percent of the manufactured homes in the park or a nonprofit
organization which has the written permission of the owners of
at least 51 percent of the manufactured homes in the park to
represent them in the acquisition of the park shall have 45 days
to execute an agreement for the purchase of the park at a cash
price equal to the original purchase price paid by the purchaser
plus any documented expenses relating to the acquisition and
improvement of the park property, together with any increase in
value due to appreciation of the park. The purchaser must
execute the purchase agreement at the pdce specified in this
subdivision and pay the cash price within 90 days of the date of
the purchase agreement. The notice must be sent by first class

notice pedod begins on the postmark date affixed to the notice
and ends 45 days after it begins.
Subd. 8. Required filing of notice. Subdivisions 6
and 7 apply to manufactured home parks upon which notice has
been filed with the county recorder or registrar of titles in
the county where the manufactured home park is located. Any
person may file the notice required under this subdivision with
the county recorder or registrar of titles. The notice must be
in the following form:
"MANUFACTURED HOME PARK NOTICE
THIS PROPERTY IS USED AS A MANUFACTURED HOME PARK
PARK OWNER
LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PARK
COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION (IF APPLICABLE)"
Subd. 9. Effect of noncompliance. If a manufactured
home park is finally sold or converted to another use in
violation of subdivision 6 or 7, the residents do not have any
continuing right to purchase the park as a result of that sale

sold, a park owner or other person with personal knowledge may
file an affidavit with the county recorder or registrar of
titles in the county in which the park is located certifying
compliance with subdivision 6 or 7 or that subdivisions 6 and 7
are not applicable. The affidavit may be used as proof of the
facts stated in the affidavit. A person acquiring an interest
in a park or a title insurance company or attomey who prepares,
furnishes, or examines evidence of title may rely on the truth
and accuracy of statements made in the affidavit and is not

We are writing to ask for your support in the passing of a park-closing
ordinance for the city of Maplewood. This ordinance would protect manufactured
homeowners' families from displacement in the case of their park closing for
redevelopment. A park-closing ordinance would ensure that the residents of
manufactured home parks in Maplewood would receive fair compensation for
their homes, which likely cannOt be moved, in the event that their manufactured
home park would close for redevelopment. Residents living in conventional
homes receive compensation when their property is sold for redevelopment.
However, residents that own a home within a manufactured home park are not
guaranteed any kind of compensation if their park is closed because they do not
own the land that their home sits on. Under a standard park-closing ordinance, if
a home is a newer model and can be moved to another park, the owner and/or new
buyer of the park would have to pay to relocate the home to another park within a
25 mile radius or buy the home at its assessed value.
Under Minnesota State Law (§327C.095), cities and municipalities have
the authority to pass a park-closing ordinance. Thirteen cities in Minnesota have
already passed Park Closing Ordinances because they understood the necessity of
an ordinance to protect their constituents. This ordinance is very important to
your constituents in Maplewood that live in manufactured home parks. These
voters and taxpayers make up nearly 5% of the population of Maplewood, almost
900 households. Many of the parks in Maplewood are very large and ifa park
closed it would be catastrophic.
We plan to present the proposal before the city council on February 25th,
2002. We hope that you and the other Council Members will decide to pass this
ordinance for manufactured homeowners in Maplewood. Enclosed with this letter
are some informational materials for your perusal, including a copy of the
proposed ordinance and Minnesota Statute 327C.095. If you have any questions
regarding this issue we urge you to contact us. Thank you for your consideration
and we look forward to meeting with you on the 25th.
Sincerely,
Resident Association

Ordinance NO. -
Manufactured Home Par~-Closings
Section XXXX.00 Purpose:
In view of the peculiar nature and problems presented by the closure or conversion of
manufactured home parks, the City Council finds that the public health, safety and
general welfare will be promoted by requiring compensation to displaced residents of
such parks. The purpose of this ordinance is to require park owners to pay displaced
residents reasonable relocation costs and purchasers of manufactured home parks to pay
additional compensation, pursuant to the authority granted under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 327c.095.
Section XXXX.02 Definitions.
The Following words and terms when used in this Section shall have the following
meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
Closure Statement: A statement prepared by the park owner clearly stating the park is
closing, addressing the availability, location and potential costs of adequate replacement
housing within a twenty-five (25). mile radius of the park that is closing and the probable
relocation costs of the manufactured homes located in the park.
Displaced Resident: A resident of an owner-occupied manufactured home ho rents a lot
in a manufactured home park, including the members of the resident's household, as of
the date park owner submits a closure statement to the City's Planning Commission.
Lot._~: An area within a manufactured home park, designed and used for the
accommodation of a manufactured home.
,Manufactured Home: A structure not affixed to or part of a real estate, transportable in
one or more sections, which in the traveling mode, is eight (8) feet or more in width or
forty (40) feet or more in length, or, when erected on site, is three hundred and twenty
(320) or more square feet, and which is built on a permanent chassis and designed to be
used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the
required utilities, and includes the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical
system contained in it. The City of Maplewood also elects to expand these provisions of
protection to manufactured homes that are smaller than the dimensions of, eight (8) feet
or more in width or forty (40) feet or more in length, or, when erected on site, are three
hundred and twenty (320) or more square feet, and which are built on a permanent
chassis and designed to be used as dwellings with or without permanent foundations

Dear City Council Members and Mayor Robed Cardinal,
I am a resident of Beaver Lake Manufactured Home Park in Maplewood. We,
residents of manufactured home parks, make up nearly 900 households in Maplewood. I
am sending this post card to request that the City Council pass the proposed Park Closing
Ordinance. Passing the ordinance at the meeting on February 25th would help protect and
preserve these existing units of affordable housing in Maplewood, as well as give a sense
of security and stability to nearly 900 Maplewood families. Thirteen other cities in
Minnesota, including Oakdale, have passed this important ordinance, in doing so protecting
Iow-income families from displacement. By passing this ordinance, Maplewood would
further its commitment to preserving affordable housing and serving its Iow to moderate-
income residents. Thank you for your consideration.

· whether a park closing ordinance is appropriate for the City of Maplewood.
. Just last year I worked with the City of Fridley on the wording of a park-closing ordinance. I
have attached that ordinance for your review. When taking on such a large task, there is no way
to satisfy the residents, the owners or even all city officials. Despite some wording I'd like
changed in the City of Fridley ordinance, I believe the staff did a terrific job of diplomatically
listening to all the party's viewpoints and coming to a fair compromise.
Also enclosed please find the City of Shakopee park-closing ordinance. I represent the owners of
a Manufactured Home Community in Shakopee as well. Many of the owners worked with the
City of Shakopee officials to word the ordinance currently in effect. I believe this particular
ordinance has the most flexibility for possible future city development of the property
Manufactured Home Communities are on.
In closing I'd like to offer any support or assistance I can. I'd appreciate the opportunity to work
with staff on the wording of a park-closing ordinance if you decide to proceed.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
is.
Agent
