6.5 ( ITEM 6.5. k of MEMORANDUM lk� • River TO: Planning Commission FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner - DATE: October 22, 1996 SUBJECT: Elk Terrace Mobile Home Park - Closure Statement Overview On September 24, 1996, the City of Elk River received notice from Earl and Lorraine Hohlen that the Elk Terrace Mobile Home Court will be closing pursuant to Minnesota State Statutes 327(c).095. The closure statement that has been submitted to the City has been prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements for park closings. The process of closing a mobile home park involves the local planning agency (planning commission) submitting the closure statement to the governing body (city council) of the • municipality and requesting the governing body to schedule a public hearing. Therefore, the Planning Commission's responsibility at this point is to send the closure statement to the City Council. Commission is not required to have a public hearing; this will be the responsibility of the City Council. The City Council will 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. The State Statute goes on to outline specific steps and information that must be provided in completing the closure of a mobile home park. Staff is working closely with the City Attorney's office, as well as the developer, to make sure this process is completed accordingly. Future Development It is anticipated that with the closure of the mobile home park, prospective developers of the property will move forward with a possibly commercial development proposal. This project will most likely be proposed as a planned unit development and will require the Planning Commission and City Council review prior to any construction. Therefore, the Planning Commission will have an opportunity to review all of the applications necessary in approving a commercial planned unit development at this • location. 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.

Lorraine Hohlen • SUPPLEMENTED AND RESTATED • CLOSURE STATEMENT FOR ELK RIVER TERRACE MOBILE HOME COURT ("PARK") September 24, 1996 Dear Phyllis Witte: The purpose of this letter is to supplement and restate the Closure Statement regarding closure of the Park, mailed to you on August 9, 1996. This Supplemented and Restated Closure Statement provides information we have gathered regarding the availability, location and potential costs of replacement housing within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of the Park, and relocation costs. As you know, we have sold the Park and the Park will close following compliance with the terms and conditions of Minnesota Statutes § 327C.095. A copy of this Supplemented and Restated Statement will also be submitted to the City of Elk River. As previously stated, the entire Park will be converted to a mixed-use commercial development and there will be no lots available and none of the Park will be operational. Attached hereto as Exhibit A, is a list we compiled of mobile home parks within • twenty-five (25) miles or so of the Park. There are 45 parks on the list and the range of monthly rent of the listed parks is $130 to $320. The exhibit also identifies, as of today's date, whether there are any available lots in the listed parks. Availability will change, so you should call the parks to obtain updated information. Where available, security deposits, application fees and other park charges are noted. As far as relocation costs, Winkelman Trucking has given us the following estimates: (i) For 12' X 60' Homes: a. Transportation (0-25 miles) $175.00 b. Teardown $125.00 to $175.00 c. Build up and sewer line installation $475.00 d. Skirting $200.00(+ materials) (ii) For 14' X 70' Homes: a. Transportation (0-25 miles) $200.00 b. Teardown $150.00 to $200.00 c. Build up and sewer line • installation $500.00 • September 24, 1996 Page 2 d. Skirting $225.00(+ materials) (iii) For 16' X 80' Homes: a. Transportation (0-25 miles) $450.00 (w/escort) b. Teardown $175.00 to $225.00 c. Build up and sewer line installation $525.00 (old line) d. Skirting $250.00(+ materials) An additional $50.00 should be added if the replacement skirting is aluminum, and an additional $100.00 should be added if new utility lines have to be installed. Other estimates I received were a bit higher then Winkelman's. Winkelman also advised us that relocation costs may be reduced if he relocated more than twenty (20) of the homes. • Costs may also vary depending on the distance of the move and the condition of the home. If you are thinking about purchasing a new home, the dealer may give you money in trade and remove your home at no cost. Please check with individual dealers for their policies. Again, we truly appreciate your patronage. if ', / _, .�� arl H.
