Mobile home park proposed for east end

Neighborhood Council 4 will review a proposal for a 154-pad mobile home park at 4600 7th Ave. N. during their July 24 meeting.

The proposal for IX Blessings mobile home park includes annexing about 25 acres and assigning R-10 mobile home park zoning for the establishment of 154 manufactured home pads.

The applicant is Caleb Morey of IX Blessings and his representative on the project is TD&H Engineering.

According to the project narrative, the proposed development would be on lots located southeast of the intersection of 7th Avenue North and 42nd Street North.

After construction, the required water and sewer main infrastructure would be owned and maintained by the city, but stormwater infrastructure would be privately owned and maintained.

The property is currently vacant, undeveloped and being used as horse pasture, according to the project narrative provided to the city by TD&H.

The proposal includes a minimum of two off-street parking spaces per unit and parking will be limited to off-street so roadways remain open to emergency vehicles at all times, according to TD&H’s narrative.

Additional guest parking will be provided throughout the development.

Pedestrian sidewalks will be provided on both sides of 44th Street North and along the south side of 7th Avenue North.

The proposed home will be placed on and anchored to concrete slabs which will be designed to support the structures that are proposed, according to TD&H.

The development proposal includes open space/park space for residents to include a half basketball court, pickleball court, children’s playground and a gazebo. One area is planned to be a fenced dog park.

The proposal includes a park area along the south edge of the development with multiple access pathways installed connecting to the adjacent Heren Park pathway system.

Neighborhood Council 4 will review the proposal during their July 24 meeting with a tentative schedule from city planning staff that has the planning board reviewing the project in September and the City Commission considering the project in October.
