5. Ardmor Village Chair Majorowicz opened the public hearing to consider the application of Independence Engineering, on behalf of Ardmor MHC LLC, for a conditional use permit to allow Ardmor Manufactured Home Park to add six manufactured home units in the RSMH, Single-Family Manufactured Home Park District, located east of Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and north of Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50). Kate Lorusso (via Teams) with Independence Engineering on behalf of Ardmor MHC LLC presented an overview of the project. Associate Planner Kris Jenson presented the planning report. Ms. Jenson stated the applicant has submitted a conditional use permit application to add six manufactured home units in the RSMH, Single Family Manufactured Home Park District. The proposed property is currently developed as a manufactured home park with approximately 340 units. Ardmor Manufactured Home Park proposed to add six homesites to the existing park, in an area that was previously used as RV parking and storage. Each of the proposed sites will include a 16’ by 66’ concrete pad, and a paved off-street parking pad to accommodate two passenger vehicles, with a paved walkway from the parking area to the pad site, which meet the setback requirements. Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Ardmor Village conditional use permit subject to the one stipulation listed in the February 22, 2023 planning report and approval of the Findings of Fact dated March 2, 2023.

Chair Majorowicz opened the hearing to the public for comment.
Craig Pederson – 827 Macbeth Circle - Mr. Pederson indicated that the storm shelter is
inadequate for the site. He suggested an additional shelter for the safety of the residents,
particularly those on the east side of the park. The condition of the roads and driveways needs
to be addressed.
Ron Carlson– 501 Juliet Drive – Mr. Carlson has the same concerns as Mr. Pederson regarding
the storm shelter. He states the management should focus on the current upkeep of Ardmor
before they add more manufactured homes to the area.
Motion was made by Drotning, seconded by Einck to close the public hearing at 6:16 p.m.
Voice vote was taken on the motion.
Ayes – unanimous.
Chair Majorowicz asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points included:
• Commissioner Drotning stated that the concern is the storm shelter for the site. Ms. Jenson outlined that the Zoning Ordinance requires emergency storm protections for manufactured home parks built prior to 1993.
• Chair Majorowicz commented on the lack of a second exit for the site. Ms. Jenson described the challenge in adding a second exit from the site.
• Ms. Lorusso stated that she was informed by the property owner that street repairs are planned for Spring 2023.
• The Planning Commission suggested tabling Item #5 to address the emergency storm protection issue and clarify the scope of issues that may be considered as part of the conditional use permit request.
Motion was made by Kaluza, seconded by Zimmer to table the Ardmor Village Conditional Use Permit to a future Planning Commission meeting.
