THE CITY OF ATTACHMENT 4 en: pLEASANTON® June 11, 2009 Re: Conversion of Vineyard Villa to Residential Ownership; Notice of Two All Park Meetings Dear Resident, In 2007, the owner of your mobilehome park applied to the City of Pleasanton to convert the Park to "residential ownership What that means is that each of the spaces within the Park would become legal lots and then you would have the opportunity to purchase the lot on which your mobile home is located. If you did not wish to purchase the lot, you would simply continue to pay rent. If, after the owner starting selling lots (and, by agreement, this would not happen for at least 10 years), you had not purchased your lot and decided to move from the Park, the next person occupying your space would need to purchase the lot as well as your mobilehome; that new purchaser of your mobilehome could no longer simply rent the space from the Park owner. In an effort to inform and educate residents about this proposed conversion, in 2008 there were a number of meetings at the Park. In addition, the Park Owner sent residents written materials. In March 2008 the Park Owner sent all residents a survey in which residents were asked whether they (a) supported the conversion, (b) did not support the conversion, or (c) declined to respond at that time. The completed surveys were sent to the City of Pleasanton. The City received 119 responses (out of 208). Of those responses, 41 were in support, 38 were not in support, and 40 marked "declined to respond at this time." In May 2009 the Pleasanton City Council conducted a public hearing on the proposed conversion. The Council was concerned that the residents needed more information about the proposed conversion and directed City staff to coordinate with the Park owner to conduct additional outreach to the residents and provide additional information to the residents. To that end, please find enclosed a document setting forth a number of questions and answers about the conversion. Some of these questions and answers have come from the Park Owner and some have come from the City. The City, however, had the final say as to how the questions have been answered and the Park Owner may not agree totally with all of the City's answers. P. O.
