a function of'the way the statute is writterr There is no authority under Minnesota statutes to require <br />the mobile horn; park owner to pay this additional cosL Rather, it must be paid by some other party, <br />in this draft the park purchaser. <br /> <br />Alternate B: This ordinance is e. ym~y the same as Alterrmte A, except £or Section 1010.12. Inthis <br />version of the ordinan~, I have set up m independent appraisal mechanism ['or the determining value <br />oFt_he manufactured home. The appraiser must be independent, have experience in mobile home park <br />appraisuls, and be approved by the City Administrator. Appraisal costs are to be paid by the park <br />purchaser. <br /> <br />~: This Alternate adds a new Section 1010.14 which imposes a limit on the overall total <br />costs of relocation and additional compensation, Thc concept of a limitation on total outlay is <br />embodied in all five other communities' ordinances. My version increases the limitation by <br />incorporating the purchase price of' any land contiguous to the mobile home park also sold to the <br />person who is purchasing the mobile home park. <br /> <br />I propose this Alternate C for you because other communities have done it. However, the reference <br />to additional land is added, due to my understanding that the Hohlen mobile home park is part of a <br />larger acquisition for contemplateck integrated future development. It would be an artifice to separate <br />the mobile home park from the entire transaction for economic purposes. <br /> <br />Conclusion: These Alternates do not specifically reflect directions received from the City Council <br />at the meeting of lanuary 21, 1997. Rather, together with planning staff, we have researched <br />statutory requirements, the relevant court decision, and what other communities have done when <br />fac. ed with this situation. Some of the City Council directives would have been at odds with statutory <br />authority. This is not to say that you cannot explore other alternates, but whatever is done must be <br />within the statutory authority. <br /> <br />SELI.ED 5o9o9o, 1 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
