Chair Engels asked about carbon monoxide detectors. Mrs. Disch stated battery <br /> operated detectors are needed per the mobile home park covenants. <br /> Planning Commission Member Habein asked if there was any way to certify the <br /> rehabbed homes. Mrs. Disch stated they are a member of the Minnesota Manufactured <br /> Housing Association (MMHA). There are safety standards that all homes need to <br /> comply with. There is a checklist,but no one inspects. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated it would be tough to have someone come <br /> out and recertify manufactured homes to a certain standard. It would need to be done <br /> in stages; it would be hard to do after-the-fact. <br /> Chair Engels stated he would feel comfortable to have an inspection for electrical, <br /> plumbing and building inspection; that is very important. Mrs. Disch stated that is a <br /> good idea,but who would do the inspection. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated if they are going to rewire, it would need to <br /> be inspected by an electrical inspector. Mrs. Disch stated rewiring is done as needed, <br /> but not necessarily rewire the entire dwelling. <br /> Mrs. Disch offered to contact the MMHA; they may already have the information we are <br /> looking for. <br /> Planning Commission Member Mortenson stated the list provided seems to be cosmetic. <br /> The mechanical and plumbing are important. Mrs. Disch stated they replace the <br /> mechanicals when they need to be replaced. <br /> Chair Engels reminded Mrs. Disch that people are living in these homes and everything <br /> needs to be working properly. Mrs. Disch stated they do physical walk-throughs every <br /> month on the units they own and rent. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan questioned whether the reconditioned homes <br /> would only be allowed in a designated manufactured home park. Staff was directed to <br /> determine whether or not rehabilitated manufactured homes are included in the City <br /> Code under Dwellings in Transit. <br /> Planning Commission Member Mortenson stated in 1992 electrical inspections were not <br /> required. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan questioned why the 5-year limit was included in <br /> the City Code. <br /> MINUTES 5 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August 18, 2016 <br />
