4. COMMISSION CONSIDERATION ITEMS
4a. REPORT ON OWNER OCCUPANCY PROVISION IN PROTECTIVE
COVENANTS FOR BELLVUE LAND SUBDIVISION
Mr. McCauley reported that the EDA's broker Dianne Mobroten provided the following information
and comments on restricting occupancy to owners. Ms. Mobroten commented that it has been her
experience that owner occupied restrictions in protective covenants are not used by builders in
Minnesota. Ms. Mobroten has worked with a number of single family builders in Minnesota and
indicated none of the builders she has worked with incorporated this type of restriction into their
covenants. She also indicated that an "owner occupied" restriction may be a detriment to marketing
single family homes and some examples include:

Retired owners may spend several months a year in another state and they
want to rent out the property for a few months.
A temporary job transfer may necessitate a brief period of time that the owner
may desire to rent the property.
Ms. Mobroten indicated the "owner occupied" provision could be more commonly found in
townhome and condominium developments where too many rental properties could have a
detrimental effect on the viability of the condominium or townhouse association.
S. ADJOURNMENT
A motion by Commissioner Peppe, seconded by Commissioner Lasman to adjourn the meeting at
10:1 S p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
