replacing grandfathered trailers

[Jesse Pascoe]

Hi All, I have my first small MHP under contract in Eastern Oregon. It is currently 21 lots and a mix of older mobile homes and some trailers. It's not a real great layout and the lots are odd sizes. They range from 35'x 100' to 40' x 30' with the average being roughly 35' x 75'. I spoke with the planning dept and was told the park is legal- non conforming (grandfathered). They also said that there are no problems regarding set backs currently, but if I replaced any homes the new homes would have to adhere to current codes. If this is indeed correct I certainly have to move some sight around and would most likely lose some spaces. I've heard from other resources that any replacement home would just have to be on the same foot print as current... which seems reasonable. Does anyone have any insight into this matter? Thank you very much in advance.
