ATTACHMENT F An Annotated History of the Prince of Peace Interim Sacred Settlement 4 Jan. 3, 2023 Ms. Gundlachsent me an email to "check in regarding Building and Fire Code compliance concerning the two tiny homes.” Jan. 4, 2023 Dr. Gabrielle Clowdus emailed Ms. Gundlach with the RVs code compliance information. In this email, Dr. Clowdus included: "The two MN certified Recreational Vehicles that are temporarily at Prince of Peace until a permanent place can be found meet the following National Codes and Standards: NFPA 1192 ANSI 119.5 NFPA 70 (National Electric Code)" Jan. 5, 2023 Ms. Gundlachreplied to Dr. Clowdus confirming she had received the information and would be “reviewing internally” and would let us know if they had any questions. Jan. 15, 2023 Prince of Peace celebrated with our community the Interim Sacred Settlement, now providing a home for Valerie and the Beary Family, with a blessing ceremony and open house. This included the broader network of Settled supporters, the two church partners that had built the two RVs now located at PoP, and the residents and supporters of the Mosaic Sacred Settlement. Jan. 18, 2023 Ms. Gundlach emailed me to set up a meeting to share their “thoughts about how \[the RV homes\] fit into City regulations.” We set up a meeting for Jan. 26 at Prince of Peace. Jan. 26, 2023 Present during a meeting in the Common House were Janice Gundlach, Valerie Roy, Mischa Beary, James Beary, Avia Beary, Kristin Bloxham, Dr. Gabrielle Clowdus, and me. Ms. Gundlach described the findings that her department had ruled the RVs/tiny homes did not meet existing zoning and building code regulations. She reiterated how she believed the RV to be a significant improvement to Valerie’s circumstance but did not know enough about the construction of the homes to believe them to be suitable dwellings. In telling her story to Ms. Gundlach, Valerie attempted to reassure her that she is experiencing a significant improvement in her well-being. Ms. Gundlach did present a distinction about how our campus contains two uniquely zoned parcels. The church and parking lot are zoned Institutional and the land to the south is zoned Low-Density Residential. She also described how the RVs/tiny homes were on the Institutional-zoned parcel. We challenged this determination. In a subsequent email, we provided Ms. Gundlach with an aerial map of our property and clarified that the RVs were indeed placed on the south parcel.
