Equity Lifestyle Properties owns more than 200 manufactured home communities, more than 200 RV resorts and campgrounds, and 23 marinas in 35 states and British Columbia, according to its website. “We consider the management of the community to be a partnership with residents and look for opportunities to work together on solutions to fit everyone’s needs,” she said in a statement. The park residents brought their complaints to the Lake Elmo City Council, but officials there said they don’t have the legal authority to impose rent controls. If the city were organized as a home rule charter city, like St. Paul, the City Council could adopt rent control but Lake Elmo is classified as a statutory city. “We as a statutory city aren’t able to do anything with regards to rent control or anything like that,” said Lake Elmo Mayor Charles Cadenhead. The city administrator, Nicole Miller, has been in contact with the park’s community board chair, John Murphy, to work on specific issues, including the resident’s concerns over the large number of dead trees in the park, Cadenhead added. The park’s residents have also asked the Housing Justice Center, a Minnesota nonprofit, to help organize a response to the rent increases. Housing Justice Center attorney Shana Tomenes said that what’s happening at Cimarron “is not an uncommon story.” Many mobile home parks once owned by an individual are now more commonly owned by a for-profit company that needs to keep revenues and profits growing, she said. State law requires that rent increases be “reasonable,” without defining what that means in terms of percentages, Tomenes said. “Is 30% over four years reasonable?” Tomenes asked. “There hasn’t been a case in Minnesota law that says what reasonable is or isn’t.” The park residents are also contending with new rules that make it more difficult to sell their home, Tomenes said. Homeowners must tear down fences before selling, advertise the sale with a small sign in a window and run credit checks on prospective buyers, among other things; taken together the rules make it difficult for people to sell and more likely to walk away from the home. Moving the home out of the park is usually too expensive, with costs ranging up to $10,000, while some homes have settled and wouldn’t be safe to move, she added. “People end up losing their home and that is often people’s largest asset.” Resident Jim Woods, a veteran who suffered a traumatic brain injury while serving, said residents feel like they’re being targeted for eviction by the park’s management. If the resident lives in one of the park’s older homes, often distinguishable by having a flat roof and sitting on the ground, they’re more likely to be written up, said Woods. “They want to tear them down and put a more expensive one in,” he said. “It’s not fair. We need somebody with money or influence to help us.” The park at Cimarron was part of an effort two years ago to pass state legislation calling for rent stabilization at mobile home parks, but the measure failed. The Cimarron Residents Association plans to try again next session.

Schiltz envisions a restaurant so good that diners return to this marble gem in St. Paul’s Lowertown, drawn by both the food and the Depot’s gleam. Eye on St. Paul recently visited with Schiltz to learn more about why he believes his gamble on St. Paul will pay off. This interview was edited for length. Q: When did you decide to open this restaurant? Q: How will you be able to sustain traffic to support a restaurant, since a lot of downtown employees still haven’t come back to the office? Lake Elmo isn’t a metropolis. But we managed and we grew. And we’re considered one of the better restaurants in the Twin Cities. A: Well, we have a five-year contract. I’m giving myself five years. I had to be careful on this first menu because of new talent. All the people here are people that I have not worked with before. So, I am starting from ground zero. My chef comes from my catering kitchen, OK? He said I would love the opportunity to open up your restaurant. Q: Is it fair to say you’re confident you’ll succeed in downtown St. Paul, in Lowertown? A: I am confident that we’re going to succeed. I’m confident that we’re going to help rebuild this area and at least its reputation for having places to go to. Q: I’m going to stay for lunch. What should I order? A: Are you a sandwich guy? I think our Pub Steak is awesome. A lot of places have Philadelphia cheesesteaks. My sirloin sandwich is a roast, and I slice it so it’s coming out medium rare or medium. That, with Portobello and onions and cheese, it’s a good sandwich. As far as something hot, we have sunfish on our menu that I don’t think anyone downtown has seen before. It’s like five, six filets along with a Chardonnay butter sauce. We got a great burger, chicken. Q: Tell me about your commitment to St. Paul. A: My commitment is to do the best job I can. Our flair is friendliness, and I want people to create memories. And that was another thing that we talked about when we decided on the name and everything else. My memory of the Depot is my grandfather and grandma took me down that hallway to the train to go to Duluth. And I was 4 years old. My grandfather died that winter, and it was a pleasant memory. And I want to have people create memories [here]. From what I understand, proms come from all over the Twin Cities area to have their pictures taken down here. Weddings. We have people coming here to become citizens. Oh, yeah, three or four days a year they do that, and 1,000 people each time. We just got a call from Viking Cruise Line, and they want to know what we can do together.
