(A) Standards and conditions.
(1) Construction standards. All streets and roadways located within the manufactured home park shall have a concrete curb and gutter, and shall be hard-surfaced under specifications set forth by the City Engineer. Minimum width between curb faces shall be 32 feet for collector streets and 28 feet for minor streets, unless projected traffic patterns and density shall determine a greater width, at which time the greater width shall be determined by the City Engineer. Roadways shall have unobstructed access to a public street, road or alley.
(2) Maintenance standards. All streets and roadways shall be maintained to a level sufficient to allow free vehicular passage for the residents, their guests, and emergency service responders under all reasonably anticipated conditions. The existence of a sufficient level of maintenance shall be determined as follows:
(a) Street surface condition. The hard surface of the streets shall not be covered by dirt, sand, gravel or other materials to the extent that traction between the street surface and vehicle tires is substantially diminished. The street shall be maintained in a manner that horizontal or vertical separations or cracks of the traveled surface are not of a magnitude which will jar a passing motor vehicle operating within the speed limit. Street repair and patching shall also occur whenever a pothole with exposed base material exists, when a separation or crack results in crumbling pavement, or when any dip or settlement is pronounced enough to cause storm water to collect and not drain away.
(b) Snow removal and ice control. Snow removal operations shall occur as necessary to provide safe and unimpeded vehicular passage of the streets, and shall provide for curb-to-curb snow removal. At a minimum, snow removal operations shall be completed within 12 hours after the end of a snowfall event which deposits more than two inches of snow upon the street surface. Snow removal operations shall be conducted in a manner to achieve as close to a bare pavement surface as possible. To mitigate slippery street surfaces, sand and salt shall be applied to control ice where necessary, but especially at street intersections, sharp curves and other locations where motorists are likely to brake or turn.
(‘81 Code, § 13-36) (Am. Ord. 515, passed 5-23-91)
(B) Sidewalks. A concrete sidewalk, not less than 30 inches wide, shall be constructed adjacent to the street. Lots located within areas, such as cul-de- sacs, where in the opinion of the Planning Commission, sidewalks shall serve no useful purpose, a variance can be granted. The variance shall require Council approval.
