The subject property is zoned ID (Interchange District). It has.been developed as an RV park. The Marion County Comprehensive Plan anticipates motels and RV parks at interchange districts. The RV park has approximately 87 spaces. In addition to this, the park has monthly, weekly and daily rentals. On a year- round basis the park has between 60 and 70 occupants per day. The park is open between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. Beyond these normal operating hours, the manager is on a 24- hour per day call. Travelers frequently check in and out of the park before and after regular operating hours. In addition, the manager must respond to medical emergencies and maintenance tasks, such as frozen pipes during the winter, etc. Typically, the manager receives after-hours phone calls every day of the week. In general, the manager's duties are security for the park, fee collection, maintenance, protection of park facilities and occupants, garbage collection, etc. The applicant has a resident manager in a mobile home at the park. At the present time applicant also has an assistant manager at the park, and seeks permission to place a mobile home in the park for the assistant mana- ger. The manager and assistant manager are full time residents. One manager is located at each end of the park (north and south). Mobile homes are needed in order to attract and retain managers on a full time basis. RV units are difficult to winterize adequately, and are too small to function as a permanent residence. In the past applicants have attempted to keep an assistant manager on the site with only an RV. However, turnover has been high. More than one on-site manager is necessary. Management of the park is a 24-hour, 7-day a week job, week in and week out. Unless a second manager is located on-site, the primary manager of the park is never free to leave the park for any extended period of time. Other RV parks along the I-5 corridor have mixed manage- ment practices. There are apparently no national or regional association standards for management. All parks have at least one full time on-si8te manager. It is common to have two or more on-site managers. Applicants are seeking to obtain approval for the exist- ing mobile home as located. Applicants are also seeking to obtain approval for a proposed assistant manager's mobile home,to occupy Space 31 at the south end of the RV park. The RV ~paces in the park would be reduced to 86 in number. ORDER - Page 2 CU 86-14 Isberg
