Ron Gunter is living on eggshells uncertain of where he would go if he had to move.

The Langford senior has been living in the Lombardy manufactured home park for six and half years with his wife Colleen.

The park has been up for sale for nearly two years and residents arenB次元官网网址檛 sure what the future will bring.

Manufactured homes built after 1973 can be moved, but Gunter explained there arenB次元官网网址檛 many places to move the home too. His home is 1,600 square feet and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two livingrooms.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 affordable housing. Now where could I get that for less than $500,000,B次元官网网址� said Gunter. B次元官网网址淭he bank wouldnB次元官网网址檛 look at us for a mortgage if we are not working.B次元官网网址�

There are 20 homes in the park and all the residents are seniors. The oldest resident is 90 and three are living with cancer, including GunterB次元官网网址檚 wife Colleen.

B次元官网网址淚 have to worry about chemotherapy and radiation, there are other things I am deeply worried about,B次元官网网址� Gunter said. B次元官网网址淭he land owners own the land under us. We are in a state of limbo with a threat a bulldozer coming through.B次元官网网址�

The City of Langford passed a policy in 2007 that protects residents in manufactured home parks such as Lombardy when the land is sold.

The policy states the new owner must pay for disposal of homes that cannot be relocated, help the residents find new accommodation and offer them the right of first refusal for new homes built on the property. In total the policy includes 10 stipulations the new owner must oblige by.

Langford Coun. Denise Blackwell has met with people interested in purchasing the park and has discussed the cityB次元官网网址檚 policy.

B次元官网网址淲e just want to make sure people arenB次元官网网址檛 displaced,B次元官网网址� said Blackwell. B次元官网网址淲e believe manufactured homes are an affordable housing option and we donB次元官网网址檛 want to see people get ripped out of their homes.B次元官网网址�

While Gunter and the rest of the Lombardy residents are concerned. If the park is sold and residents are evicted there is a provincial mandate they would be given one year notice and one year free pad rent. Currently the residents pay about $500 for pad rent and some, including Gunter, still carry a mortgage.

Trevor Hunt has lived at the park for 32 years. The 74 year old planned to live there for the rest of his life and having to possibly move now is tough.

B次元官网网址淲e are not looking for handouts. Right now everyone is living within their means,B次元官网网址� Hunt said.

Most mobile home parks in Langford have zoning that predates the cityB次元官网网址檚 incorporation, said Matthew Baldwin, Langford director of planning.

The land is only zoned for a mobile home park, anything else would require rezoning.

B次元官网网址淟ombardy park has existed long before incorporation,B次元官网网址� Baldwin said.

Sandra Gilbert owns Lombardy park with her seven siblings. The 68-year-old grew up on the property long before it was a manufactured home park. She has been running it for the past 15 years since her father passed away.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 hard and I am not getting any younger,B次元官网网址� Gilbert explained. B次元官网网址淭here may be eight of us siblings, but I am the only one who does anything at the park.B次元官网网址�

ItB次元官网网址檚 hard for her to give up the park due to all the history and memories, but itB次元官网网址檚 just not feasible for her to carry it on. The park will remain on the market until it sells.

While Gilbert would love to see someone buy it and keep it as it is, she said it might not work

financially for the next owner. Most likely the land will be used for larger developments such as condos she figures.

With the park up for sale residents are unable to sell their homes even if they wished to points out, Shirley Stirrett, vice-president, Active Manufactured Home Parks Association. B次元官网网址淲ho would want to buy a home in a park thatB次元官网网址檚 for sale?B次元官网网址�
