7. Old Business
A. Second Reading of Ordinance 1382 to amend Section 151.22 Mobile Home
Placement Standards to create an exception allowing placement of mobile
homes
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that, at the May 7, 2018 City
Council meeting, a Petition for Rezone was considered for the property
addressed as 807 Cottage Avenue and 23 East Duke, the location of
Cottage Villa Park. John noted that during the discussion several
residents expressed their concerns that due to the Mobile Home
Placement Standards, if the property were redeveloped and the Cottage
Villa Park mobile home court was closed, they would be unable to move
their mobile homes to another location in Vermillion. John noted that
staff was directed to examine the issue and determine if it would be
possible to amend the code to allow non-conforming mobile homes to be
moved to another location in the community. John stated that proposed
Ordinance 1382 which would create several exceptions which, if met,
would allow existing pre-1976 mobile homes to be relocated elsewhere in
Vermillion. John stated that the exceptions, all of which need to be
met, are as follows: 1) A mobile home must have been located in
Vermillion on or before February 5, 2007. This prevents pre-1976 mobile
homes from being brought into Vermillion from outside the City. 2) The
mobile home must be inspected by the City’s Building Official to ensure
that it is safe for occupancy. 3) The City Manager must make the
determination that the mobile home is being moved because of a closure
of the mobile home’s current mobile home park. John stated that this
amendment will allow for some flexibility to assist those mobile home
owners who are threatened by displacement caused by court closing. John
reported that the proposed changes were presented at an educational
session to City Council on Monday, June 4, 2018 and were directed to
proceed with bringing forward an ordinance. John stated that, as this
ordinance is in the land use section, it requires the consideration of
the Planning Commission. John reported that the Planning Commission
considered Ordinance 1382 at the June 11, 2018 meeting and voted 8-0 to
recommend approval to the City Council. John stated that the City
Council approved first reading at the June 18th meeting.
Kristi One Feather, resident of 807 Cottage #22, stated that she did
not receive any notice that was reported to have been sent to trailer
owners in the court. She stated that due to the age her trailer it
could not be moved and it is surrounded by trees and was concerned
2
about relocating her other items stored on the site. She stated that
the law is not on her side but the right thing needs to be done to save
the resident's homes.
Sheena Auen, resident of 807 Cottage #23, stated that she has worked
hard to acquire the trailer to provide her children a home. She noted
that one of her children has medical issues and she cannot afford to
move her trailer. She was concerned about how to tell her children that
they need to move and their home is going to be torn down.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that the ordinance being
considered is to amend the mobile home placement standards to provide
exceptions so mobile homes can be moved. John said that the zone change
being considered in the next two ordinance would not be effective until
April 1, 2019 which would allow time for the mobile homes to be moved.
Discussion followed.
212-18

vote of the Governing Body, and the members voted as follows: Collier-

B. Second Reading of Ordinance 1372 to Rezone Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 & W 1/2
Vac. Elm St. & E 1/2 Vac. Alley & Lots 11 & 12 & W 1/2 Vac. Alley, Blk

6 & E 1/2 Lot 7 & W 1/2 Vac. Elm St. & Vac. Alley between 5, 6, 7 & 8 &
W 1/2 Vac. all Adj. to Lots 9 & 10, Park’s Addition, City of
Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota, from GB General Business
District to R-3 Residential District (also known as 807 Cottage Avenue
and 23 E Duke Street).
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the petition for rezone
currently before the City Council seeks to rezone the property located
at 807 Cottage and 23 E Duke from GB General Business District to R-3
Residential District. Jose stated that the Cottage Villa Park, a mobile
home park, is located on the property in question and is a
nonconforming use in the General Business District. Jose reported that
the Planning Commission considered this item at the April 23, 2018
meeting. Jose stated that the Planning Commission noted that because
the property is currently zoned General Business the current residents
could still be displaced for a business-related development. Jose
reported that the Planning Commission voted 5-3 to recommend that the
City Council deny the Petition for Rezone for 807 Cottage and 23 E Duke
to the R-3 Residential District. Jose reported that a separate Petition
for Rezone for 711 Cottage from GB General Business to R-3 Residential
follows this item. The Planning Commission was informed that the
potential buyer for 807 Cottage and 23 E Duke is also interested in
developing the land at 711 Cottage. Jose reported the Planning
Commission voted 5-1 to recommend that the City Council approve the
Petition for Rezone for 711 Cottage Avenue from the GB General Business
District to the R-3 Residential District, but only if 807 Cottage
Avenue and 23 E Duke Street were also rezoned from the GB General
Business District to R-3 Residential District in order to avoid “spot-
zoning.” Jose reported that the City Council first considered Ordinance
No. 1372 at the May 7, 2018 meeting. Jose noted that at that time many
occupants of Cottage Villa Park expressed concerns that rezoning the
property for redevelopment would displace them. Jose reported that the
City Council tabled Ordinance No. 1372 so a possible change to the
Mobile Home Placement Standards could be explored which were just
approved for second reading. Jose reported that the representative for
the potential buyer has asked for an effective date for the zone change
of April 1, 2019 to allow the current occupants of Cottage Villa Park
5
more time to find other housing arrangements. Jose stated that Premier
Realty also sent a letter to the current occupants of Cottage Villa
Park explaining the new effective date for the rezone in addition to a
letter from the United Way listing resources available to help
occupants relocate.
Alvin Anderson, resident of 807 Cottage #3, questioned if this is being
done for the benefit of the community, but what about the benefit of
the people living there.
Ryan Eichelberg, resident of 807 Cottage #2, stated that he is unsure
if his trailer can be moved and has heard that if it cannot be moved he
would have to pay to have his trailer destroyed.
Jaymie Kuntz, resident of 807 Cottage #26, stated that she has heard
the mobile home court was described as a blighted area. She stated that
Premier Real Estate is not maintaining the court which is noticeable by
the tall weeds. She stated that this is her home and the court needs to
be maintained. She questioned if the mobile home owners would be
compensated to move their trailers or if they would be billed if the
trailer is not moved. She stated that this is all being done so more
apartments can be built, but noted that so many apartments are vacant
now.
Jamie Baedke, with Premier Real Estate, stated that she personally
mailed letters to all the tenants. Jaimie stated that no decision has
been made between the buyer and seller about the mobile homes so it is
just rumors. Jamie noted that they mow where they can as tenants have
materials that prevent some areas from being mowed.
Discussion followed on the zone change request noting that this
property is zoned General Business and we need to attract more business
so maybe we need to find a business for this location. The discussion
included the question of traffic in the area if the zoning is changed
to residential, the difference between R-2 Residential and R-3
Residential, stormwater drainage and the displaced residents. Mayor
Powell noted that the item being considered is the change in zoning.
