New Business The public hearing regarding the K lb mobile home park conditional use permit was opened y C airman an s . 7ity Adm . read a memo addressed to Chairman Banks and Commission regarding the conditional use permit . (Refer to attached memo) . Chairman Banks read the conditional use permit hearing procedure form and asked if any proponents wished to come forth. Mr. Dewey Wilson , Attorney representing Mr . & Mrs . Kilby , was recognized. Mr . Wilson introduced Mr. & Mrs . Kilby to the Commission . Mr . Bob Blanton , Civil Engineer, was recognized and came forth. Mr . Blanton presented several drawings of the ' proposed mobile home park . He explained the type of mobile homes that they are going to try to attract . They will be approx- imately 80 ' of single wide, 50' to 70 ' long and would be handling approximately 14 to 1500 square feet of living space. Mr. Blanton said he designed Bear Lake Park in Phoenix. That park was designed so that the placement of mobile homes was at or near grade so that the floor of the mobile home was approximately 8" above the patio slab . The driveway slab which is proposed to be 12 ' wide would go all the way back until there was enough room for 2 covered parking spaces and storage building which would be approximately 48 to 50 feet . In most of the mobile home spaces there would be additional room off the street and behind the sidewalk for one more guest parking space. The carport that will cover the parking spaces and the patio cover are not part of the lot but a part of the mobile home. Mr. Blanton stated that phasing is an economic method by which you can license part of a park while another part is being constructed. Under state law a mobile park must be completed before a license can be issued, but under the phasing rule Phase I can be completed within all the rules of the ordinance. This allows mobile homes to be brought in and also allows some return on the investment and rental on the mobile homes while the mobile home park is still under construction. Mr. Blanton referred to the drawings pointing to the 4 phases. In Phase I there will be B6 units and also a recreation hall which will satisfy all the requirements of the ordinance for Phases I & ' II . The recreation hall will be approximately 6 , 300 square feet . The open . space around Phase I will amount to 1 . 34 acres. In Phase I 55 offstreet `h�bju 15 , 19 7 7 offstreet parking spaces have been provided over and above the required 2 spaces per unit provided for under the ordinance. In Phase II there will be 51 units . No recreation hall is required in this phase. The open space area in this phase will amount to 0 .80 acres . There will be 14 offstreet parking spaces . In Phase III there will be 63 units and a recreation hall of 2, 200 square feet . The open space area in this phase will amount to 0 .98 acres . There will be 36 offstreet parking spaces . In Phase IV , (the last phase to be completed) , there will be a recreation hall with approximately 2 , 170 square feet. The open space area will amount to 0 . 97 acres and there will be 32 offstreet parking spaces . Mr . Blanton presented and read their statement of findings . (Refer to original Planning Commission minutes ) . He then read the findings regarding the Fasano ruling . (Refer to original Planning Commission minutes) . Chairman Banks asked if anyone had any questions of Mr . Blanton . Mr . Ted Christian , 527 Freeman Road, stated that when the fence goes up around the mobile home park he is going to have 3 fences around his property. Mr. Blanton said that they 'should get together to see what could be done but also said that a 6 ' fence is required around a mobile home park. Mr. Burt Putney , Medford, asked Mr . Blanton when Bear Lake Park was completed . Mr. Blanton said about 2 years ago . Chairman Banks asked if any opponents wished to speak. Mr . Burt Putney , Attorney representing Ervin Weathers , was recognized . Mr . Putney said that he is not saying that this area is being used inappropriately but that the Commission should consider the park contiguous to the proposed property that has already been approved for a mobile home park. Mr . Putney said that with the 10 homes in the Weathers ' park a and the proposed 262 homes in the Kilby park this would be 342 mobile homes along the freeway . The end result is going to be an area of mobile homes that is literally going to be a city of mobile homes . Since no one else came forth in opposition , Chairman Banks closed the public hearing . Commissioner Emery asked if there was a possibility of a left turn lane into the mobile home park. Mr . Blanton said that based on the recommendations that were made to us as conditions by Mr. Kucera this section of Hopkins Road would be developed to a Central Point secondary arterial which requires a 40 ' street width. Mr . Blanton stated that there is really no room for a left turn or acceleration lane into the park . Mr. McCoy , 942 Hopkins Road , said there is no stop sign out of Greenbrier Mobile Park and that a stop sign should be put in the proposed park. Chairman Banks stated that a stop sign will be required . Mr . Blanton stated that they are asking for the following 3 exceptions to the Mobile Home Park Ordinance : 1 . 30 ' instead of 40 ' street width inside the park. 2 . Total of 6 to 9 washing machines instead of the required 1B washing machines (minimum) . 3. Install all mobile homes in a well drained pit and provide 2 or 4 reinforced concrete runners depending on the width of the mobile home instead of providing a concrete or asphalt pad .

A r T �� \ �M IL ,a J ' ce Corbett , Secretary D D TO : Chairman Don Banks and Planning Commission Members FROM : City Adm . Dave Kucera ' SUBJECT : Kilby conditional use permit for mobile home park at Freeman and Hopkins Road DATE : March 15, 1977 The proposed property has recently been annexed to the City and zoned R-3 which allows mobile home parks as a conditional use: The adjacent property is zoned as shown on attached exhibit . The proposal has been reviewed on basis of concept as requested by the applicant and found to be in agreement with existing ordinances . The attached application speaks to the findings required by the conditional use permit ordinances . In addition , at the public hearing the applicant needs to answer the conditions as set forth by the Fasano decision . The applicant has verbally requested that all plans be withdrawn prior to the hearing and a slightly modified plan No . 1 be submitted. This report will be based on plan No . 1 as originally submitted. Previous staff review with the Fire Chief and Police Chief indicated either plan No. 1 or 2 would be satisfactory, however, they each prefer plan No . 2 with fire access to western ' building. Information needs to be provided by the applicant as to the impact of increased traffic on Freeman Road and Hopkins Road with consideration given to alternate and/or additional access routes to the mobile home park. Information about the type of mobile homes and park restrictions also needs to be provided. Three exceptions are requested from the current mobile home park regulations for this use. One is for narrower streets . In. view of the recent passage of the ordinance requiring 40 foot streets in mobile home parks , it would seem that conditions have not yet changed enough to warrant change from the original decision . Since the City has no enforcement control over a private park no parking zone, the only alternative to assure emergency vehicle access is by requesting streets wide enough to allow both parking and access . Item two requesting modification of the washing facilities appears to contain some merit . The requirements of Section 5 . 32 .260 should be applied to the number of trailers not expected to contain complete washer dryer facilities and reviewed each year with business license renewed. , The decision on Item 3 requesting mobile home stand modification can be made at present on an aesthetic basis subject to later design approval . -mj%,T 5, 1 q '77 The Planning Commission decisions on all three exception requests must be made under Ordinance Section 5 . 32 . 490 and forwarded to the ' Council for approval . If the Planning Commission approves the conditional use concept for mobile home parks , recommended conditions are as follows : 1 . Prior to any construction permits or park licenses being issued, the Planning Commission will review all final plans for conformance under current zoning , mobile home park and design review ordinances , including Ordinance No . 1068 , with the right to ,impose additional conditions at that time. 2 . The maximum number of units for this area will be 265 units which may be subject to downward adjustment if conflicts arise in the final design review and density requirements by the Planning Commission . 3. Street improvements to Freeman and Hopkins Road will include improvement to a City standard 60 ' secondary arterial from property line to centerline of existing pavement with curbs and sidewalks continuously from the NW corner of the development on Freeman Road to the SE corner on Hopkins Road. Any county requirements will also be met for street improvements . Prior to permits being issued , the applicant will approach the Council to determine the feasibility , possible boundaries and timing of a local street improvement district in the area. D 4. No approval for any utilities plans are given at this time. 5 . All streets in the mobile home park will be named . Also , all lots will be numbered and plainly marked and visible at night . 6. A minimum of 500 gallons per minute fire protection will be provided throughout the mobile home, parkas?required by the Fire Chief. D FASANO FINDINGS - Conditional Use A . Adequacy of site. Yes .
