RICHMOND HILL SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH SUNDAY, JAN. 6, 1974 MAPLE-CARRVILLE PASTORAL CHARGE A Church of The New Testament Order Other Denominations Not a Denomination, Everyone Welcome! CONCORD J. M. Langton in collaboration with Mrs. Ruth Cook of Richmond Hill Low-cost housing â€"â€" what is it'ldn the same manner we can speak of ‘low-cost food’ â€" ‘lowâ€"cost motor calls. These are all relative terms. Considering "Terms" let us get our definitions correct. The mobile home and the travel-trailer am 5'1- milar only in that both are transported «to location ‘on their own running gear'. The main difference between the two is that the mobile home is occupied as a permanent residence while the travel trailer is used for shorter periods, usually for recreâ€" ational purposes. Modules or modrular homes, are not trans-ported on their own running gear. “Modular” and “mobile homes" terms should not be used as Simi- lar or alternative terms. The two are very different and we should be careful not to be confused by these terms. A striking example of the module (or block on block construction) was on view at Expo at Montreal in 1967 and ref-erred to-at that lo- cation as Habitat. This form of factory built homes, as opposed to conventional on site construction, has many possibilities for consideration in the home building indus- try and might ‘be a means of producing lower cost hous- ing, ’ Much useful and helpful information in these camago- ries may be obtained by con- sultinug a booklet entitled ‘Mobile Homes In Ontario- Construction And C o 5 ts. This booklet was published (1973) by The Special Stu- dies Section Ontario Minis- try of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Af- fairs. Copies may be ob- tained from Ontario Govern- ment Bookstore â€" 880 Bay Street, Toronto, or inquire at your local public library for a copy. For the purposes of the study reported in the booklet, the three-bedroom mobile home (standard unit size 12'x60‘ - including 4’ for towing bar) is compared with the commonly-built, single family, detached, single 'sto- ry three-bedroom bungalow (average 1,000 â€"â€" 1,100 sqilt. living space) Some of rthe major findings of this report are as follox‘vs (a) The ‘typical’ mobile home in Ontario is considerably less spacious than the mini- mum conventionally-built tli r e 'eâ€"bedroom bungalow. One obvious difference is that the mobile home has no basement â€"â€" hence much less storage space. 1b) Structural performance and fire safety are rated low- er for the mobile home than for the conventionallyybuilt house but this lower rating does not suggest that the mobile home is hazardous. (c) The mobile home is sub- jecit to overturning in high gust winds, so is should be anchored securely. (d) Thermal performance is similar in the mobfle home and the conventional bunga- low, but the [mobile home can be heated for less due to its smaller volume and surface area. tel Acoustics are rated lower in the mobile home, i.e., exâ€" ternal airborne and impact noise and internal noise is greater in the mobile home. I'D Maintenance tasks for the Mobile Home tend to be smaller and less costLy than for the conventional bunga- To avoid confusion and re- duce argument, rthe follow- ing terms should be given careful consideration. (a) Ls-wer cost Housing 1b) Lower initial cash out- lay (c) Lower (land/or easier) maintenance coslt (rd) Less useabl-e living space (g) The total initial cost of 1a mobile home. excluding land, is less that the cost of a con- ventional dwelling. This is not due to construction eco- n‘omies from factory produc- tion but is simply related to the smaller size of the mo- bile home. In other words you pay less for less. (h) The cost per square foot of living space is similar for the mobile home and the conventional dwelling â€" but the difference in cubic con- tent of course is considerable â€" and the lack of a base- ment in the mobile home can be a distinct disadvantage. In summary, the mobile home in comparison with the conventional house offers less space, in a lower quali- ty dwelling unit, but at a lower initial cost and with prospects for lower mainte- nance costs. Factors In Low Cost Of Mobile Homes Note â€" That the per square and cubic foot prices have been determined by di- ‘vidimg the total purchase price by the living area or volume of the unit. While the bungalow prices include the basement, the area or volume of the basement has Conventional 3 Bedroom Bungalow. Low $15,000. High 518.900. Price per sqit. $18.50 to $14.70. Price per cubic fit. $2.46, $1.96. the bungalow shaape allows four basic relationships of living and sleeping zones in terms of circulation and within these zones, a wide variety of room arrangeâ€" ments is possible. Another disadvantage in the plan lay- out of the Mobile Home oc- curs at the entry which, un- less specifically modified, usually opens directly into either the kitchen, dining or living area. Bungalow layout commonly provides a vesti- bule and a hall leading to other rooms. I (c) Regarding flexibility in space use â€" There is only one dining area in the mo- bile home as opposed to two (kitchen and dining room) in the bungalow. Open planning reduces privacy desirable for using the mobile home living room to accommodate on overnight guests. ’Dhe lack of variety in size of mobile home bedrooms. together with their minimum floor area, limits their use as a place for such pastimes as hobbies, sewing, studying and games. In contrast, the bungalow has at least one secondary bedroom with space for a desk or sewing table that would not interfe- re with its normal sleeping and dressing function. ((1) Regarding facilities for small children â€"â€" Only the mobile {home living/dining area is large enough for a baby's playpen and this would greatly infringe on the usable space of this area. In the bungalow, a playpen could be placed in the se- cond or third bedroom or in the living/dining area with- out interfering greatly with the daytime use of the unit. The basic mobile home also does not provide space for a ‘mudroom’ whereas the bungalow usually provides a rear entrance off the kitchen where children’s coats and rubbers may be rput on and taken off. and tom stored. (e) Regarding housework â€"â€" Cleaning the mobile lhome means less effort than for the bungalow because of the former’s smaller floor, wall and ceiling area. Yet the smaller area may result in more concentrated wear of materials and cause ,g'realter congestion during cleaning. Having the washer and dry- er on the main floor in the Mabile Home (while cutting down on usable living space) eliminates walking up and down basement steps. <fl Regarding thermal per- formance -â€" For both shelter tyipes, thermal performance investigation showed similar characteristics but the smal- ler volume and surface area of the mobile home consideâ€" rably reduce its winter heat requirements. The overall mobile home heat loss is 30 percent less than that of the bungalow and therefore the total winter heat require- ments would also be 30 ‘per- cent less. (g) Regarding acoustic per- formarnce â€" Due to lighter roof covering and other structural differences, a given overhead air b o r n e sound will appear about 40 percent louder in the Mobile Home â€"* which is also more susceptible 'to exterior sound striking the underside of the floor because it has no foun- dation wal-ls or basement to shield it. Because exterior wall structure and sheathing is lighter, [the mobile ‘home will allow a 50 to 60 pvercenrt louder transmission of sound. In mobile homes, partitions will allow sounds to appear 20 to 25 percent louder and the location of the washer, dryer and furnace in the Mobile Home will seem more of a noise nuisance. whereas in the bungalow these items are more remotely located in the basement. (h) Regarding fire hazards â€" The mobile home has a much lower rating because of grea- ter flame spreading and smoke :hazard potential. Emergency exit in the mo- bile 'home is not as con- venient because some ownâ€" ers do not provide steps to the ground at the secondary exit, and the smaller panes of glass set in aluminum mullions (to reduce breakage in transit) would hinder es- cape thru the windows. SOME COST CONCLUSIONS Prices and costs for Iboth mobile 'home and bungalow unit; are not strictly compar- able â€" Both are alternate forms of shelter but we are 9:111, in many ways, compar- ing “apples and oranges". Some interesting findings from this study are quoted as follows â€" These figures do not include the cost of .the land. 3 Bedroom Mobile Home, Economy $8,000 to $9.500, Nfiddle $9,500 to $11,000, De- luxe $11,000 to $13,000. Price per sq.ft. $19.58 to $12.42. Price per cubic fit. $2.79, $1.77. The question naturally will arise at each mobile home park location â€" Is the local park fire protection and fire prevention system adequate, or might the nearest local municipality be expected to ing equipment and person- nel? The further that we in- vestigate availl ble informa- tion and opinons on these swbjects, the more firm be- comes nhe conviction what people benefit from the pro- duction and sale and use Of mobile homes and mobile home parks in the following order â€"- (1) First the manufacturer of the mobile home benefits because of original sale and resulting profit â€" with no responsibility other than the normal warranty against de- fective material and work- manship. “here the onus of proof too often rests with the homeowner) (2) Secondly, the mdbile park owner and/or manager, be- cause monthly land rents‘ and payment for services are not been included in the calculations since 411115 space is assumed ¢o be used: for storage only and requires additional expense to make in Livable. The subject of low cost housing requims Itihe conside- ration of many factors, some of which can lead The dais- eus-si-on into highly emotio- nal areas. The homeowner has the option of purchasing the land at any time after the fifth year of «the lease. Should he decide to exercise his option to buy his lot, the price he pays will be the market price of the land at the time he exercises ’his option. The 0p- tion to purchase the lot may be exercised by payment of cash or by entering into an agreement of sale which will permit amortization of the land price over a period of up to 35 years. Interest charged will be the current OHC lending rate. In-sunance costs obtained indicate that the mobile home premiums are 38 perâ€" cent higher than those for bungalows for reasons of construction and of isolation from fire fig-biting equipment. Probably the best way (up ‘00 We present time) to pro- vide relatively low cost hous- ing is by means of such plans as those provided by the On- tario Housing Corporation (an agency of the provmce) of which .two examples are in the Malvern Development. b0 the east of Toronto and the Central Park Develop- ment at Dixie Road and Highway 7. These Land Lease programs are des- cribed in brief, by Ontario Housing Corporation and will appeal to those who want to buy a home but can- not afford a large down pay- ment. Applicants for a HOME Plan house must have the financial ability to meet the monthly carrying charges in accordance with individual mortagage company require- ments. A family 'may not ac- quire more than one HOME Plan house in the same mu- nicipality. To be eligible, an applicant must have been a resident of Ontario for at least one year. Maxi-mum income levels for applicants will vary from municipality to municipality. is an integral pant of the Home Ownership Made Easy (HOME) Plan, is to as- sist those persons who wish mo buy a house, but are un- able to make a down pay- ment normally required in the open real estate market. By offering serviced building lots on a lease basis, and by limiting construction prices for houses built on these lots, OHC materially reduces the down payment required to purchase a home. the ‘lot. Book value is the cost of producing a serviced lot and m varies from pro jeclt 00 project. If the ‘house is sold. the lease will be re- vised to reflect the current market value. Building price limitations range from $15,450 to $18,- 000 for southern Ontario and in Essex County and North- em Ontario the range is $15,950 to $18,500. Strict adherance to building By- laws an-d regulations is re- quired. To prevent speculaâ€" tion. OHC must approve the resale of HOME Plan houses during The first five years of the original lease. In this regard the follow- ing general comments on mobile homes and mobile home parks might be of in- terest. The purpose of this Land Development Program which OHIC's serviced building lots are offered on- fthe basis of a 50 year lease. Ground rents are based on the cur- rent OH’C lending rate ap- plied to the book value of At the present time, where is a limited amount of ser- viced land available for such programs.

Particularly at the municipal level in; will require the exercise of wis- dom to resist the pressures of commercial companies and those individuals “with an axe to grind", if we are to be intelligent in our ef- forts to provide suitable low cost housing â€" not just some alternative which might appear to have merit for a short term. but which for the longer term. prove the opposite of ‘low cost housing' This will require the con- cented. organized efforts of all levels of our gov‘ernmeug Dr. Arthur Arnot Inducts His Son In South Africa received, as well as, profit (or commission) from the sale of the mobile home. in many instances. (3) Finally, and last on the benefit list is the mobile home buyer. This biwer/ owner gets value for the purchase price paid (plus installation, Ihaulage and ser- vice charges) similar in prin- ciple to any normal merchantâ€" dlizing transaction. But, in buying this type of merchan- dlise. there '5 a large amount of “caveat emptor" (let the buyer beware) possibly being an important factor in the deal. Dr. Arthur Arnot >who served as the pastor of Rich- mond Hill Baptist Church, Wright Street, from 1964 to 1970, recently inducted his son Dr. Fred Arnot as min- ister of the Baptist Church. Uitenhage, South Africa. There are many legal ques- tions as well as socialogioal and psychological problems involved to which the ex- perts admit that at this time, them are no positive answers for situations in Ontario, covening mhe sale and use of mobile 'homes. and the ope- ration of Mobile home Parks. Dr. Arthur Arnot is now minister of the Algoa Park Baptist Church in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Axvother opinion which merirts consideration is that â€"â€" “we the public" are being subjected to a well organized campaign to establish a sense of urgency to develop mobile home parties. It is just pos- sible that this campaign could be managed by the Ca- He served at Victoria Park Baptist Church there for a period of some six years before proceeding as chaplain with the South Af- rican forces at Ladysmith in the Libyan Desert for three years. Some ‘Oaveats' such as â€" what happens to your mobile home if the park owner de- cisdes to sell his land (the land you are renting) or if the owner becomes bankrupt (this has happened already in Ontario). If after say, three years, the park owner advises you that your mobile home is “obsolete” and should be replaced with a later model â€" do you move, or do you buy a later model (probably from the park owner who is selling ‘tlhe Lat-er model’) Can you sell your mobile home without any restrictions? Can park rules prevent you from hav- ing any visitors? Is there a park curfew â€" is there adeâ€" quate fire protection â€" if not will the local or nearest municipality protect you? What about police protec- tion? This list could go on at great length â€" and these questions all arise from other than pleasant experiences in Ontario and other parts of Canada. One final question â€" as a mobile home owner It was during his six years at Victoria Park that the plans were begun for the Uitenhage Church, now be- ing served by his son. Dr. Arthur is the author of several books and dur- ing his six years in Rich- mond Hill was a frequent contributor to the columns of “The Liberal". He said the induction of his son was for him a “great exper- ience". His son Arthur lives on Bond Avenue, Oak Ridges. are you protected under the Landlord Tenants Act or the Innkeepers Ac't â€" if rthe lat ter, you might be evicted on a 48 hours notice!!
