Ms. Dennis said she understood about the newer mobilehomes not fitting the spaces. She asked why Mr. Wagner did not want to escape the regulatory mobilehome environment by applying for a different type of land use. There are many advantages for him to do so. Why go through the hassle of conforming to the ordinance when he did not have to. Mr. Schlies asked her if she meant a PUD application? He said it was a new issue. He said if Mr. Wagner gave the okay he would be glad to sit down and talk about the PUD. Ms. Dennis said her concern was that the mobilehome park was not in conformance with the ordinance and it could not be overlooked. Mr. Schlies indicated Mr. Wagner has been advised that he was not in violation of state law. He has been told the state law preempts the local ordinance. Therefore, he does not feel he is in violation of the law. _ Ms. Dennis asked how it can be called a mobilehome park if less than half the units are mobile homes. Mr. Schlies said this is not a simple issue. Ms. Michelotti felt the issue is getting to know what Mr. Wagner wants. She visited the park and found it to have a transient atmosphere. If people want a mobilehome park, they expect stability and maintenance of the grounds. If it is to be for short stay residents, then that issue needs to be addressed.

The additional revenue could be used for improvements. She asked where in Pleasanton can someone rent a place for $435. There is more privacy in the park than renting a room or an apartment. Mr. Wagner has been a good landlord. He assisted a tenant who needed medical attention. He has assisted many of the residents with various repair items in order to meet HCD inspection specifications. Philip Cesielski, 4160 Stanley Blvd, said he is opposed to the mobilehome park. He has had many problems with Mr. Wagner and people in the park. Parking is taken up in front of his house by people who pull their RV's into the park and have another vehicle they use to get back and forth to work. He said he has problems with people passing through the park through Pleasanton City Council 05/20/97 Minutes 25
