Secretary introduced B111 Dawson of Dawson Deve10pm~nt Company and presented
a summary staff report of the h1story of the tra11er park, proposed plan
for development and timing procedure. B111 Dawson referred to a "Background
Paper" that had been presented to the P1anmng Comm1ss10n for reV1ew.
The development plan is attempt1ng to:
1. Present a Solut10n to a soc1a1 problem, removal of a substandard tra11er
park wh11e providing adequate hous1ng for a number of persons on f1xed
1ncomes.
2. Upgrade the phys1ca1 cond1t10ns of the slte.
3. Provide the land owner w1th a reasonable econom1C return for h1S land.
4. Sat1sfy the Coastal Commission requirements.
Mr. Dawson stated that the park was bU11t in the 1930s and one res1dent has
been living there since the park was bU11t. This resident 1S 89 years old
and has an income of $177 per month. Thirty-one res1dents of the park have
1ncomes of between $177 and $277 per month and that only four tra11ers are
1mmovab1e due to deterioration. The plan cons1sfs-OT 100 condom1niums and
100 trailer pads, a two level parkinq structure, two park1ng lots for guests,
a lot for auto parking for trailer park res1dents, a pool, laundry facilities,
recreation building, trailer office and central trash p1ck up. It 1S
env1sioned that 60 of the condominiums would be one bedroom units of 750
sq. ft. and 1 story height, 28 unrts would be 1 bedroom and 10ft of 950 sq.
ft. 1n size and 12 units would be 2 bedroom, 2 story of 1060 sq. ft. 1n
size. The upper level of the parking structure would be 5 ft. above the
present grade. In response to questions by the Planning Comm1ssion, Mr.
Dawson said that it would cost about $5,000 to put 1n each new trailer pad
space which would necesS1tate rent increases from $65-75 per month to $130
per month. He stated that a 65 yr. lease for the property would be signed
in January, 1978 pending governmental approvals on the project. Vehtcle
access 1n the project would be restricted to emergency vehtcles and furn1ture
de1iver1es. The project would appear as a village w1th $360,000 of trees
included in the project to provide the style enV1ronment desired.
Mrs. Dorr asked for a clarification on how many units of each model would
be located in the condominium portion of the project and asked if the
recreat10n facilities would be available for use by the residents of the new
tra1ler park. Mr. Dawson stated the number of units to be bU11t and that
the trailer park res1dents would be able to use the recreation facilities
on some bas1s yet to be determined. The Planning Comm1ssion raised questions
concerning park1ng for the tra11er park and quest park1ng. Mr. Cook was
concerned about the proposal to chanqe the grade of the slte and the v1sual
,mage from Long Beach. Mr. Schm,tt was of the op,n,on that park1ng should
be prov1ded along s,de each tra,ler space. Mr. Cook spoke ,n favor of
zoning the tra,ler park portion of the s,te for a tra11er park. Ed M,sche11,
1613 Ocean, questioned the term "tra11er park II He asked for costs of
grading the site, questioned the cost per tra,ler space and asked about
low ,ncome un,ts. Dolores Hicky, a-res, dent of the tra,ler park, asked ,f
the new park would accommodate all permanent residents. Mr. Dawson answered
that all permanent residents would be accommodated. Ch, Krede11, 1615 Seal
Way, asked what size the units would be. Mr. Dawson answered.
