Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
The mobile home park plan of the entire site, drawn to
					 scale, shall show all existing conditions, the proposed site development and
					 all the following requirements:
(1)
				  Size of Mobile Home Park. All mobile home parks shall be developed on a parcel
				  of land not less than three acres in size and shall contain no more than eight
				  mobile home plots per gross acre of land.
(2) Size of Mobile Home Plot. The mobile home
				  park plan shall show a plot for the accommodation of each mobile home, which
				  plot shall be at least 40 feet wide and at least 70 feet long, but shall
				  contain a minimum of 2,800 square feet in area.
(3) Arrangement of Mobile Homes. Mobile homes
				  shall be separated one from the other by at least 25 feet side to side, 15 feet
				  side to rear and 10 feet back to back; shall be no closer than 25 feet to any
				  interior drive; and shall be no closer than 50 feet to any exterior street or
				  property line of the mobile home park.
(4) Drainage. The park shall be located on a
				  well drained and properly graded site.
(5) Interior Drives. No mobile home shall
				  have direct access to an interior drive of no less than 20 feet in width, which
				  shall have unobstructed access to a public street or highway. All interior
				  drives shall be hard surfaced and continuous and shall be adequately maintained
				  by the owner.
(6) Off-drive
				  Parking. Each mobile home plot shall be provided with at least one off-drive
				  parking space. Such space shall be no farther away than 50 feet from the plot
				  it serves. In addition there shall be provided one off-drive parking space for
				  each three mobile home spaces in the mobile home park. Each off-drive parking
				  space shall be at least nine feet wide and at least 20 feet long and shall be
				  paved. Off-drive parking may be provided in conjunction with the interior drive
				  which shall be at least 36 feet wide and include concrete gutter.
(7) Recreation Space. A playground or
				  playgrounds shall be provided by the owner at a ratio of 200 square feet for
				  each mobile home plot. The length of such playgrounds shall be no greater than
				  twice the width. Such open spaces shall be maintained by the owner and shall be
				  exclusive of area required for mobile home plots and for interior drives,
				  parking, and utility spaces. No playground shall contain less than 4,000 square
				  feet.
(8) Special Conditions and
				  Safeguards. In recommending the issuance of any zoning and development permit
				  for a mobile home park the committee may attach special conditions and
				  safeguards to protect both the occupants of the parcel and the occupants of
				  surrounding property in regard to such matters as noise, lights, and dust.
				  Where required to serve these ends, walls, walks, fences, plantings, surfacing
				  or other natural or artificial means for protection may be required as a part
				  of such special conditions on which issuance of the zoning and development
				  permit is based. Failure to meet such conditions shall be grounds for
				  revocation of the zoning and development permit.
(9) Exceptions to Paragraphs (2) and (3).
				  When an arrangement other than that specified by Paragraphs (2) and (3) of this
				  Rule can be shown to provide more useful open space without infringing upon the
				  privacy of mobile home dwellers or neighboring property owners or when
				  screening devices can be shown to compensate for any slight reductions in space
				  between mobile homes or space between mobile homes and another building or
				  property, the committee may recommend approval of a special use permit, if in
				  its opinion, the mobile home park plan submitted is equal to or better than an
				  arrangement which would conform to Paragraphs (2) and (3) of this Rule. No
				  minimum dimension shall be reduced by more than 20 percent. For each square
				  foot of land gained within a mobile home park, through the reduction of a plot
				  size below the minimum requirements, equal amounts of land shall be retained as
				  open space for park, recreation and related uses. This "open space" shall not
				  be developed for any other means and shall be maintained by the developer for
				  the life of the park.
