On Wednesday, July 2nd, the neptune zoning board will have a meeting at the Summerfield Elementary School at 7:30 pm to discuss the replacement of three of the mobile homes with newer units.  The park is located near the corner of Steiner and 6th Avenues.

Approval has been held up over minor code issues.  Considering that most of the code issues are pre-existing issues, and that the park only wants to update/upgrade older units with newer ones, overall, changing the units are a plus for all concerned.

While I’m not an expert on mobile homes and their construction, I’m sure that the newer ones are better built, better insulated, and have better fire ratings than the older ones.  Letting an existing facility update it’s units, while not meeting 100% of current code(s), can only be a plus for the community.  The owners of Metpark get to maintain their income base, the residents of get newer (and undoubtedly safer) trailers, and the neighbourhood gets a facelift of an existing property.

While only those withing the required distance of the trailer park received notices of the meeting, all local residents who support updating, while maintaining the character of the neighbourhood are encouraged to attend and show support.
