Ms. Griffin asked if a privacy fence would preclude the mud turtle migration and stated she liked to look at the adjacent pond. Visitors were allowed to park adjacent to units; the new parking is too far from units. Could parking be looked into in detail? Larry Salera noted new solid fence would be installed. Parking is the tough issue. By taking RVs away from the front, parking is also lost. Amy Murphy, resident, expressed concern about the park. She feels that RVs should not be in the park; the owners rent units in the Park and this makes the park look dumpy. If the rental units are removed, could new units be placed on the site? Could rental units be barred? Could rental unit owner background checks be required? Amy Murphy said she would prefer less Park drive-through by the Police. Ben Storey, resident, said mobile home owners along the south side parked on the RVs site and on Rose Place in the winter when snow and plowing occurs. How will streets be cleared and still allow parking (Difficult). Member Wilke asked for the management plan for plowing and towing. Larry Salera noted that plowing and parking is a problem. There are guidelines regarding when and where the snow is carried away. If there are four RV spots vacated in the winter, it allows for more parking. Member Wilke asked if RVs could be eliminated entirely and add to the parking. (If done, the rental income would decline and have to be shared by existing residents. There is not enough land to do everything. New units are now in the park; rental units are being eliminated.) Larry Salera noted that he must know what to do with RV units for this season (rent is month to month). After this season, if no RVs are permitted he would, instead, provide four manufactured units. Background checks of residents are done. Dave May, resident, asked if diagonal parking on the streets had been considered. (Streets are not wide, must be able to get cars and emergency vehicles through). Richard Kettle, Twin Home adjacent neighbor, would like to see landscaping along borders. Does the City have plans to open up Rose Place for further access or even a walkway? There used to be a 30-foot easement/buffer along the west side. The south side brush belongs to the Mobile Home Park. How close can a unit or storage be to a street? John Wilson, resident, noted that the southwest corner of the road was under water when snow melts. Polly Griffin illustrated that in 1955 there were no adjacent homes; she opposed screening. George Berg, resident, would like to see asphalt in front removed. The snow plowing in winter is a problem. He moved his car to Rose Place in winter. Amy Murphy, resident, asked what could be done with spacing of units and could more speed limits (10 mph) be added to site? Sheila Lumpkin said the community is involved in this process. On Lexington snow is carted away. Parking is limited; there are four spaces in front, six in rear areas. If residents park on Rose Place, there are complaints from residents to the south. Having a designated district will be valuable. Screening is objectionable. She supported enclosing the trash areas. Carol Shiels, 1110 Rose Place, noted that collaborative planning among partners City, Park, residents and neighbors to south is important. The neighbors to the south are the Central Park Town Home Association. Chuck Nagle, an RV owner, noted that RV owners are there for the entire summer. He stated the RV parking was a winter parking area that benefited both RVs and residents. He is waiting for a conclusion to the seasonal RV issue. He was unaware of difficulty with RV owners (they are older, have no pets, and have only one car). Only one non-RV vehicle has been parked in front of the Mobile Home Park (a pick-up truck). There were no further comments; Chair Rhody closed the hearing. Chair Rhody said he supported a PUD; improvements are needed and this is a good start. Member Olson agreed. The
