The Development Services Director advised the Agency that the owner of the Trailer Park, Mr. Bill Dawson, submitted a letter withdrawing the suggested amended Declaration of Covenants and requesting that this item be removed from the agenda. He reported Mr. Dawson also submitted notice of his intention to increase Trailer Park rents under the 1981 Agreement and Covenants pursuant to a current statement of monthly expenses, explained that such increase would-take effect approximately August, and that this"information has been forwarded to the Agency's legal counsel for- the Tr-ailer Park, Mr-.

I Chairman Grgas arrived at 6:56 p.m. 4-17-89 I Mr. Knight explained that there would be nothing prohibiting the Park owner from submitting another proposed amendment to Declaration at any time. In response to Agencymember Laszlo, the Executive Director confirmed that the Agency did incur legal expenses with regard to the amendment that had been proposed. Agencymember Risner suggested that possibly there should be an amendment to the Covenants that would limit the number of times the owner could propose amendments over a period of time. I ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Vice Chairman Wilson declared Oral Communications open. Mr. Scott Wildman, 99 Welcome Lane, spoke of the importance of the City.supporting and overseeing the provisions of the Covenants, and recommended that there be a verification of the monthly expenses submitted by the Park owner before a rent 'increase is approved. Mr. Paul Jeffers, 8 Cottonwood Lane, stated he would support adding a provision to the Covenants to insure that no long term leases will be offered in the -future, as Mr. Dawson had stated at the recent . . workshop. He made reference to Section 2.04(3) of the 1981 Covenants with regard to referral by the Agency of low and moderate. income persons to the Park, and voiced his concern that the owner has vacant trailers that could be made available to qualifying persons. Mr. Jeffers also suggested that the records of the Park be reviewed for accuracy, referred to the provision of the Covenants requiring the Agency to submit annual findings of examination to the Coastal Commission, pointed out promises made to the Park tenants to maintain low and moderate income housing for the term of the master lease, and expressed appreciation to the Agency for their cooperation and assistance. In response to the Agency, the Development Services Director reported that in addition to the expenses submitted by Mr.' Dawson, he had also provided a tax return, and if necessary Mr. Parrington may.request additional documentation of expenses for the Park.. Ms. Ellen Taylor spoke in support of.an audit of the reported Park expenses. Mr. Scott Wildman again addressed the Agency and requested that there be an annual examination of the Park management as provided by.the Covenants, also asked that the low and moderate spaces be defined, as well as the five spaces that are not under the rent control provisions. Mr. Robert Latta, 94 Welcome Lane, questioned the applicability of Section 2.02(5), capital improvements and rent control, stating his understanding that Mr. Dawson intends to build another structure for his sole benefit inside the area that presently houses offices and recreation facilities. Mr. Knight responded that the Trailer Park and specifically the common areas can not be used under the Unclassified Use Permit or the zoning as Mr. Dawson's office for the conduct of business other than that of the Trailer Park, however does not preClude the operation of a business from his home in accordance with City regulations. He confirmed that Mr. Dawson had contacted the City Building Department some months back requesting a building permit to construct an office addition, at which time the City requested confirmation that the offices would be used exclusively for the Trailer park, and reported there has been no further action since that time. Ms. Darlene Scheele, 22 Cottonwood Lane, requested that the Agency continue their support of the wishes and needs of the Park residents, and maintenance of the original Covenants. There being no further comments, Vice Mayor Wilson declared Oral Communications closed.
