The Planning Commission reviewed the sketch plan on April 11, 2001 and held the required "Concept" public hearing on May 9, 2001. 2.0 �IOBILE HO�IE PARK HISTORY 2.1 The Roseville Mobile Home Park has been in e�stence since the early 1950s. It is unique in that some of the city's needed affordable housing is located here. Many of the housing units are old and not replaceable with similar sized units (mainly because manufacturers no longer make these small units). 2.2 From a study completed by the I-35W Coalition to compare mobile home park populations in the seven cities area, the residents appear to be older (44 average age) than other park residents. With appro�mately 1.5 residents per unit and 175 total residents, the Roseville Mobile Home Park is the smallest of the parks. There are few children (less than 20) who live here on a year around basis. However, there are more middle age residents percent-wise than other parks. The majority of the units in Roseville have "adult only" households (75%). The operators report the largest numbers of householders are single, divorced middle age men. Approximately 24% of the householders have lived at the Roseville Mobile Home Park more than five years; 75% of the residents have moved into the park in the past five years. 2.2 By reviewing the past aerials of the City and the Park owners, the unit count can be seen for a period of 24 years (1954-1996). The number of homes varied from 83 to 105, and the number of RVs varied from 0 to 4. It appears that few permit records and/or approvals were maintained during this period.
