Council Prevents Man Camps

During the San Angelo City Council Meeting, AJ Fawver, planning manager, said staff will meeting with County Commissioners next week on RV & mobile home park regulations. The Proposed ordinance for an annual operator permit calls for a $425 fee for new parks, a $250 annual renewal fee, and a $100 transferownership fee. The purpose of the fee's is to stop the burgeoning growth of "mancamps." The plan calls for grandfathering in all current RV and mobile home parks so they aren't subject to the new ordiance because it could cause hardship to them - but it was proposed that any expansions would be required to meet the new regulations. Other suggestions were to increase the new operator permit fee to $600, then removing renewal fee, or making the new park fee $1,000 and doing away with the supplemental fee, and possibly bumping owner transfer fee to $500.  The council motioned and approved by a vote of 4-3, for a $1,000 feea new parks, $600 transfer permits, and $425 expansion. A motion to exempt existing parks from the ordinance was approved 6-1.
