City of Elk River Request for Ordinance Amendment Regarding Closure of Manufactured Home Parks, Public Hearing Case No. OA 97-4 City Attorney Dave Sellergren reviewed the proposed ordinance for manufactured home park closings. He indicated that the purpose of the ordinance is to require park owners to pay displaced residents reasonable relocation costs and purchasers of manufactured home parks to pay additional compensation. Dave Sellergren explained that mobile home owners would be entitled to actual relocation costs if homes are relocated within 25 miles; if more than 25 miles then they would be entitled to the average relocation costs as compared to other owners. If mobile homes cannot be relocated then the owner is entitled to payment equaled to estimated market value by an independent appraiser. If payment is made, the mobile home owner must • tender title. Mayor Duitsman opened the public hearing. Heather Bergman - 203 Baldwin Avenue addressed the issue of additional moving costs in the amount of$900. She indicated that many of the home owners are not certain that the appraised value will be the same as the amount owned on the mortgage. Councilmember Farber indicated his concern for those home owners who will fall short of paying off their mortgage. Beth Fraser of APAC indicated that the appraised value will not cover all of the mortgages and indicated she felt the Council should offer additional moving expenses. Councilmember Thompson indicated that his main concern is meeting the time frame requirement of 30 days.
