Chair Nichols-Matkaiti asked for comments or questions from the Commission. <br /> Commissioner McQuillan asked if the sales area within the Lakeside Manufactured Home Park <br /> along Old Highway 8 was allowed. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development <br /> Gozola reported he does not know the rules and regulations for sales, but noted the park has <br /> space set aside for unit sales. <br /> Commissioner Nelson stated it felt like there was a degree of urgency. He questioned if there <br /> were any active applications for either of these lots. Assistant Director of Community Assets <br /> and Development Gozola explained Lakeside was looking to move a new home onto one of <br /> their vacant areas and this was when the City was notified and Chapter 16 was then reviewed <br /> by staff. <br /> Chair Nichols-Matkaiti inquired if there was a penalty for an existing park that was looking to <br /> expand the property. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola <br /> described how a manufactured home park could expand and how staff would review the <br /> overall analysis. It was noted that any deficiencies within the park would have to be addressed <br /> on the new land. <br /> Chair Nichols-Matkaiti opened the Public Hearing at 7:12 p.m. <br /> Steve Barns, 1400 Piper Drive, requested further comment on how the City calculated the size <br /> of the Lakeside Manufactured Home Park. Assistant Director of Community Assets and <br /> Development Gozola discussed how staff calculated the size of the Lakeside Manufactured <br /> Home Park. <br /> Mr. Barns stated 95% of the units within the Lakeside park have 25 foot spacing between the <br /> long sides of the homes. He commented if only a 10 foot setback was required and the <br /> neighbor on the west side of his house moves, he could potentially lose three-fourths of his <br /> yard space. He believed this was unfair as a resident. Assistant Director of Community Assets <br /> and Development Gozola explained these are not new rules. <br /> Mr. Barns explained these were new rules. Assistant Director of Community Assets and <br /> Development Gozola stated he would have to disagree. He reported he went through every file <br /> for the Lakeside development and understood the old owners chose to maintain bigger <br /> separations because this provided value to their development. He understood there were two <br /> different owners for the parks and they have gotten to two different end points. <br /> Mr. Barns did not believe the old owner was lying. He was of the opinion more information <br /> could be gathered by speaking to the old owners of the park. He indicated there was no <br /> urgency to this matter and commented residents don't typically pull permits because a lot of <br /> work does not get done on the units. He believed more residents should be weighing in on this. <br /> He explained residents believe the 25 foot setback was being enforced. He anticipated more <br /> people would be in attendance if the meeting information was made available, especially if the <br /> residents were made aware they could be losing 50% of their yards. <br /> 3 <br />
