variances for Alpine Valley
By Jon Suggs
HHJ Staff Writer
PERRY - Members of the
Perry Planning Commission
approved a plan Monday
that will give residents of
one of the city’s mobile
home parks a chance to own
the land their homes occupy.
Representatives for
Cooper & Sugrue Properties
Inc., which recently pur
chased the Alpine Valley
Manufactured Home
Community on U.S. 41
north of Todd Road,
approached the commission
Monday evening to get a go
ahead for their park plans.
The developers, who own
a total of about 500 acres in
the area, want to transform
this property from a mobile
home park to a mobile home
subdivision.
The distinction is impor
tant to homeowners in
Alpine Valley. As a mobile
home park, the entire area
is one parcel of land, upon

ers lease their lots. In a sub
division, each lot is a sepa
rate parcel and may be
owned individually.
That’s a chance the devel
opers say they’d like to offer
residents.
First, however, a stop at
the Planning Commission.
The property setbacks in
Alpine Valley, while OK for a
mobile home park, are five
feet too short for city
streets. The rights of way in
the park are also 20 feet too
narrow.
All of which means two
variances must be approved
before the proposal can go
ahead.
After some discussion,
during which the commis
sioners considered there is
no feasible way to add space
for wider setbacks or rights
of-way, the variances were
approved in a unanimous
vote.
