THE CITY OF ATTACHMENT 5 mrd 11 _._r 1 111 June 30, 2009 PLE ASANTON© Re: Proposed Conversion of Vineyard Villa to Residential Ownership 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; that new purchaser 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 this matter. 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, residents have been provided with a document setting forth a number of questions and answers about the conversion, and there have been two all Park meetings (one in the day, one in the evening) at which the conversion has been extensively discussed. There was also the opportunity for small groups of individuals to meet with the Park owner's representatives and with City staff to answer any other questions on this topic. Council also asked that a revised survey be sent to the residents. Unlike the previous survey, this survey would just ask whether you are or are not in support of the conversion. That survey is attached. P. O.
