THE BOARD WENT OVER DIFFERENCES IN THE R-1PM AND R -IMP CATE- <br />GORIES. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER EXPLAINED THAT IN THE PERMANENT MOBILE <br />HOME CATEGORY YOU WOULD HAVE A LOT JUST AS IN ANY OTHER SUBDIVISION <br />WHILE IN THE R -IMP (TRANSIENT), THERE IS A SPACING REQUIREMENT OF 20° <br />BETWEEN PRINCIPAL LIVING STRUCTURES. ALL IN ALL, HE BELIEVED THE <br />DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO CATEGORIES ARE MINIMAL. AS TO HAVING LESS <br />UNITS IN ONE CATEGORY THAN IN THE OTHER, MR. REVER STATED THAT IF <br />THE R -IMP WERE DEVELOPED AT THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, YOU <br />MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET A SLIGHTLY INCREASED NUMBER OF UNITS, BUT IN <br />MOST CASES, THEY DO NOT EVEN APPROACH MINIMUM STANDARDS, <br />ATTORNEY CHESTER CLEM CAME BEFORE THE BOARD REPRESENTING <br />ARISTEK PROPERTIES AND CHAMPION HOME BUILDERS, HE REVIEWED THE <br />HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY NOTING THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY ZONED R-1MP, <br />BUT WAS CHANGED TO R -IPM BY A PREVIOUS OWNER, UNDER WHOSE OWNERSHIP <br />THE PROPERTY WENT INTO RECEIVERSHIP. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNUSUAL <br />SITUATION IN THAT THIS 35.6 ACRES IS LOCATED ENTIRELY WITHIN A 130 <br />ACRE TRACT PRESENTLY ZONED R -IMP AND IT IS SURROUNDED BY RENTAL MOBILE <br />HOME PARKS, THE PRESENT OWNER SIMPLY IS TRYING TO GET THIS PROPERTY <br />BACK TO ITS.ORIGINAL ZONING. ATTORNEY CLEM CONTINUED THAT THE <br />INDIAN RIVER FARMS DRAINAGE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, MICHAEL O'HAIRE, <br />EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE TAX STRUCTURE FOR RENTAL MOBILE HOME <br />PARKS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH ATTORNEY O'HAIRE IN THIS <br />REGARD AND HAVE AGREED FOR THIS PROPERTY TO BE TAXED ON A PER LOT <br />BASIS INSTEAD OF PER ACRE AS FAR AS THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT IS CONCERNED. <br />ATTORNEY CLEM BELIEVED THIS WAS THE ONLY OBJECTION THAT WAS RAISED. <br />HE FURTHER NOTED THAT IF THIS PROPERTY WERE LEFT IN THE PERMANENT <br />MOBILE HOME PARK CATEGORY, THE $25,000 HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION WOULD <br />PREVENT ANY GREAT ADDITION TO THE COUNTY'S TAX BASE, AND HE BELIEVED <br />THE COUNTY WOULD BENEFIT MORE FROM THE TAG MONEY THAT WOULD COME <br />BACK TO THE COUNTY FROM THE RENTAL PARK. <br />CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION FOLLOWED IN REGARD TO THE PROBLEMS <br />THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THE BOARDS ATTENTION BY RESIDENTS OF <br />MOBILE HOME RENTAL PARKS, AND AS TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS A VERY <br />LIMITED AMOUNT OF LAND IN THE COUNTY WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE TO PUR- <br />CHASE A LOT AND INSTALL A MOBILE HOME, <br />Pf} <br />39 <br />boa 47 PAGE 506 <br />
