Your applicant purchased the existing park in 1984 for <br />$1.6 million. This purchase price represents the owner's <br />investment in the permanent in -ground improvements which define the <br />mobile home sites or pads and the general layout and design of the <br />entire park, including its parking facilities and generally <br />prevailing side yard. The configuration, layout and spacing of the <br />mobile home park is the same today as when the applicant acquired <br />the property. <br />The owner's primary objectives are: (1) to relocate 61 of the <br />existing mobile homes for the purposes of maintaining the minimum <br />ten foot spacing between mobile homes required by HSS Chapter 177 <br />and Chapter 46 of the county health ordinance; and (2) to enable <br />the park owner to replace existing and older mobile homes with <br />newer mobile homes without a variance required for each such <br />replacement, while still maintaining the minimum ten foot <br />separation to be confirmed by inspections upon the issuance of a <br />Zoning Permit for each such substitution. <br />The 10 foot spacing requirement in Chapter HSS 177 was not <br />adopted until 1962. Subsequently, Dane County enacted a similar <br />10 foot requirement in Chapter 46 of its health code. Mobile home <br />parks in existence prior to 1962 which fail to satisfy the minimum <br />ten foot spacing requirement are "grandfathered" as nonconforming <br />K <br />
