A sentence in the study _ stated that the report was to be used as "... a basis for sound and proper land use planning in the area". The study represented an outdated image of manufactured housing communities, it indicated that it was a financial drain and a detriment to the City of Otsego. The information we have comprised is from current data and from the community of Riverbend. The information is not guesses or unrelated, it is in our own back yard and an intricate part of the City. Riverbend was established over 20 years ago and the success of this community is very apparent. For several years now, Riverbend s only allowed new homes to be moved in and we have had a\7%turnover in.the last two years. These new homes have nged in price from $45,000 to $65,000. state of the landscaping. $75,000 and the new proposed planned art multi -section designed These homes will range in have 1,000 to 2,000 square community, reflects homes, garages and price from $55,000 to feet. Contrary to some of the data in the above mention report, Riverbend and are an asset to Otsego because 1) it is a financial benefit because of an increase in the properties tax base and less maintenance costs to the City, 2) it is a managed and controlled community, and, 3) it provides affordable housing. Information for this report was gathered from Wright County, The City of Otsego, School District 728, and several manufactured home publications and the Minnesota Manufactured Home Association. Cooperation for the betterment of Otsego is of upmost importance to us. We feel that this planned community will be the highest and best us of our property and will be an asset to the City of Otsego. Financial Benefit Income from Taxes: All homes in a land -lease communities pay taxes like any other homeowner, and in 1996 Wright County established the value of the homes in Riverbend at $2,500,000. According to the 1997 real estate tax statement, Riverbend's property has a market value was $1,373,000. These combined numbers make for a very good tax base for the City. There are 355 homes planned for and the average value of these homes will be $60,000. The homes alone would have a value of over $21,000,000, so adding the land value would create'a very high tax base. There is great interest in this area and (� with the manufactured homes industry's predictions, we anticipate the majority of these homes to be placed within eighteen to twenty four months. Contrary to traditional construction, the taxes on these homes are due the first year the home is placed, so this would create immediate tax income for the City. Additional income will come from the 135,000 square feet of commercial, multiply this times $55 per square foot would create a taxable value of $7,500,000. ? Cost of Police Calls: The cost of police protection for Riverbend, per person, is not any different than for the rest of the City. As a matter of fact, calls for serious crimes such as property damage, theft, burglaries, assaults and disturbances were less than half as often when compared to the balance of Otsego. The actual number of police calls in 1996 for the City of Otsego were 2,029 and Riverbend had a total of 77 calls. Calculation of these calls by the corresponding population results in 18% of Riverbend's population, compared to 33% of Otsego's population. Street Costs: The 1995 Wright County Highway Department Report indicates that road maintenance costs for similar roads were J;,.VV $6,836 per mile. Riverbend, along with , will cost the City of Otsego nothing, as the entire cost of maintenance is the responsibility of the land owner. School Impact: According to current records, Riverbend has a 125 children and this relates to only .6 children per household. The average number of children for residential subdivisions is 1.5, so this is substantially less than the average. It is planned that will have an even smaller percent of children due to the cost of a new home and, our marketing will be aimed at the "adult" and "senior" population. �A'i Managed Community will be.managed by the same management team as Riverbend. We have an Accredited Community Manager with 18 years of experience, on-site security, and trained maintenance and office personnel. Unique to land -lease communities is; the criteria for acceptance that must be met by all new homeowners, the exterior of homes and yards are monitored and must be maintained to specific standards, along with the behavior of all residents and their guests. Problem residents can be evicted from the community. Our criteria for acceptance has many requirements such as a resident.must meet income and credit requirements, and felony investigations are done on each adult. We have an active Neighborhood Watch program and on-site security. The management team is also involved in solving neighborhood problems and maintaining community balance. We have a State approved storm shelter, playground area and a community building. Our current community consists of 199 homes with 22% of these homes occupied by seniors. The adults make up 71% -.of Riverbend, and we project a larger adult population in Seniors and adults without children, on an average, prove to be better at maintaining their homes and yards and seem to be more willing to cooperate with community rules and regulations. Affordable Housing/Senior Housing In the next 15 years, it is estimated that two-thirds of the metro area's 296,000 projected new jobs will be created in the suburbs, and half of these jobs will pay less that $22,000 a year. One goal of the Metropolitan Livable Housing Task Force was to encourage local governments to change zoning rules to permit greater housing density and to promote affordable housing. In October 1996, the Metropolitan Council established low cost housing to be under $93,600. Riverbend community.and our proposed planned community provides the type of affordable housing that is now needed in Otsego. 22% of the home in Riverbend are owned by seniors. We anticipate to have approximately 50% of its homes occupied by retired and/or what is referred to as the "pre -retired" persons, adults who are still working but do not have children at home any longer. Nationally, multi -section manufactured homes have become 1/3 of the housing market. The price range of the multi- section homes are $55,000 to $75,000 and average 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. Nearly a quarter of a million Minnesotans live in manufactured homes, and it has become the fastest growing segment of the U.S. housing market. Buyers can select from a wide variety of models and options, they can obtain up to 30 year financing, and most manufactured home builders offer highly efficient energy saving homes that exceed HUD regulations. 0 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION REPORT TIME : 06/11/1997 12:50 NAME : DARKENWALD FAX : 6124413751 TEL : 6124413700 DATE,TIME 06/11 12:47 FAX NO./NAME 9331153 DURATION 00:03:00 PAGE(S) 05 T STANDARD Date: June-13, 1997 To; Di dk Koppy RLK Fax #933--1153 From: Fern Kelly D&Y Partnership Telephone #441-3100 Fax *441-3751 Re: Summary of our lease, rules and regulations, and criteria.

This farm was bisected by old T.H. No. 101 and had river frontage. The Jenkins farm on Ouaday was acquired in 1970 by an option that was exercised in 1971. John Dark:enwald moved into the farmhouse in 1972 and lived there until 1994 when he built a home on his farm south of CSAH 37. Gil, Sr. built his home on Ouaday in the late 1970's. Over the years several smaller- parcels of land were also acquired in Otsego. State Trunk Highway No. 101 was constructed in the late 1960's. In December- of 1970 Gilbert Dark:enwald applied to Wright County for rezoning of a portion of the land lying along County Highway No. 36 and all of the land in Sec -tion 26 lying South and Southwesterly of County Road No. :1.6 and -east of Ouaday. These lands were divided by the new trunk: Highway No. 101. At that time he also applied for a Conditional Use Permit "for- a residential subdivision of a cluster- type of development of modular- homes". The rezoning was approved by the Wright County Board on January 5, 1971. The Conditional Use Permit for the mobile home park: was passed by the County Board on August 10, 1971. Because of economic decisions relating to the location of the wastewater- treatment plant and wells, the first phase of the mobile home pari: was constructed on the east side of T.H. 101. It contains 199 rental pads, an office/community building and a recreational area. Water- is supplied by 2 wells approximately 400 feet deep and capable of producing 500,000 gallons per day. The sewer- plant discharges into the Mississippi and has both Federal and PCA permits and the effluent standards that it must meet are similar- to the standards imposed on the Elk. River- sewer- plant. Both sewer- and water- systems were oversized to serve the ultimate expansion of the mobile home park. The sewer- plant is approved for 60,000 gallons per day and is presently using about 1/2 of its capacity. Both sewer- and water- systems are capable of significant increases of capacity so as to serve larger- areas. Page 2 Last Thursday (September 26th) we learned - for the first time - that the City expects to charge connection fees of $4800-00 (or more) per home for sewer- connections and an additional undetermined water- connection fee to the Riverbend residents [200 units X $4800.00 = $960,0001. We do not think any court in the land would require our residents to pay those fees since they already are served by both sewer- and water- systems that meet all Federal and State requirements. It also appears that the city expects to include most of out - remaining lands in the benefited area and therefore subject to assessments for the proposed project. Since we are capable of serving our own property we would strenuously object to any attempt to assess our property and even if we lost that battle, we could not be required to develop our lands and pay the projected charges and fees. We suggested to the Bonestroo representative and the City Engineer- that we are prepared to cooperate in every way., that we can to assist the city in solving the sewer- and water - problems. We believe a thorough study of possible alternatives should be made. The State Legislature has clearly stated a. public policy encouraging the use of private suppliers to provide capital intensive public services because services can be supplied "in a manner- that will speed construction and is less costly and more efficient than the furnishing of those services through facilities exclusively owned and operated by municipalities" Minn. Statutes Chapter- 471A. We believe that a joint cooperative effort can provide an efficient and economical solution to the sewer- and water - concerns of the city in such a manner- that undue financial risk and burden is not placed on the citizens of the community. SUPPORTING DATA A) Various Darkenwald properties consist of: 1) Riverbend Mobile Home Park 199 rental pads and office building 54 acres 2) Other contiguous lands under various ownerships a) River frontage 11 acres b) Commercial 18 acres c) Ouaday/101 (mobile home park expansion) 54 acres d) Jenkins farm 110 acres Total contiguous 193 acres 3) Other- non-contiguous lands under- various ownerships a) SW quadrant 101/37 8 acres b) NE at1$1/37 6 acres c) Clem's F & F 2.5 acres d) John's farm 53 acres 69.5 acres P) Accoi'ding to the consulting engineers the cost per unit to provide sewer- and water- trunks, laterals, individual hookups and connection fees is estimated at $9300 per- unit with 2.5 units per acre. This works out to sewer- and water costs of $23,250.020 per acre (and makes no provisions for streets, curb, gutter, storm water runoff, park fees and building permits). C) The financial exhibits accompanying the Bonestroo report project the unit fees to rise at an annual rate of 3.5%. In 5 years the per unit costs would rise to $10,672.00 and the per acre costs to $26,680.00. D) Frankfort is definitely out. Dayton participation is - uncertain. The proposed project is so expensive that it probably cannot be financed and places too much risk on the city. halancies'-foitivable. ;.
