(A) Parks shall be of three types:
(1) Mobile home parks;
(2) Recreational vehicle parks; and
(3) Mixed mobile home and recreational vehicle parks.
(B) No recreational vehicle shall be located in a mobile home park. No mobile home shall be located in a recreational vehicle park. In a mixed park, separate areas shall be reserved for mobile homes and for travel trailers; no mobile home shall be permitted in the travel trailer sector; no travel trailer shall be permitted in the mobile home sector.
(C) All mobile home parks shall be located on a well-drained site that is properly graded to ensure rapid drainage and freedom from stagnant pools of water; drainage shall not endanger any water supply.
(D) The minimum area of any park shall be five acres. Parks in existence on the effective date of this chapter can continue to operate with less than five acres in area; however, if the park is to be expanded, it must, at that time, have a minimum area of five acres.
(E) Intensity of development shall be limited to no more than ten mobile homes per gross acre for a mobile home park and no more than 15 recreational vehicles per gross acre for a recreational vehicle park.
(1) Area used for sewerage treatment facilities shall not be included in density computations.
(2) Mobile home spaces shall be at least 30 feet wide where pads are closest to driveways. Recreational vehicle spaces shall be at least five feet wide where recreational vehicles are located closest to the driveway.
(F) Every mobile home and recreational vehicle space shall be clearly defined. Mobile homes and recreational vehicle shall be parked in such spaces so that, at the nearest point, they shall be ten feet from the service road, five feet from the rear lot line, and at least 20 feet from any other mobile home or recreational vehicle.
(G) It shall be unlawful to locate a mobile home or recreational vehicle less than 25 feet from any public street or highway right-of-way or so that any part of such mobile home or recreational vehicle will obstruct any roadway or walkway of such park.
(H) It shall be unlawful to permit a mobile home to occupy a recreational vehicle space, a recreational vehicle to occupy a mobile home space, and for any mobile home or recreational vehicle to be located in a park unless in a designated mobile home or recreational vehicle space.
(I) All mobile home spaces shall sit upon a sealed-surface driveway of not less than 20 feet in width, if on-street parking is prohibited, and 26 feet in width if on-street parking is permitted on one side of the street only. Driveways must have unobstructed access to a public street or highway.
(J) In mobile home or recreational vehicle parks existing at the effective date of this chapter, parking on or adjacent to the street within the park is permissible as long as it does not obstruct free movement of traffic. Whether or not a safety hazard exists is a question to be determined by the Planning Commission with final appeal to the Town Board of Trustees. If, upon final appeal before said Town Board, it is determined that a safety hazard does in fact exist, the mobile home or recreational vehicle park concerned will be required to comply with the following provisions.
(1) In new mobile home parks, at least two clearly defined parking spaces will be provided for each space either on or adjacent to the space.
(2) In new recreational vehicle parks, at least one parking space shall be provided for each space either on or adjacent to the space.
(K) Outside drying spaces or other clothes-drying facilities shall be provided in every mobile home park or recreational vehicle park. Mobile home parks shall have at least 100 linear feet of clothes- drying line or one mechanical clothes-drying unit in good condition; mechanical units shall be located in a service building. Recreational vehicle parks and mixed parks shall have at least 25 linear feet of outdoor clothes-drying line for each recreational vehicle space or one mechanical clothes-drying unit for the first ten recreational vehicle spaces or any fraction thereof and an additional unit for each ten additional recreational vehicle spaces or any fraction thereof.
(L) All driveways and walkways within a park shall be at least asphalt-oil-rock sealed and surfaced.
(M) In the urban area, new mobile home parks should abut and have their major means of ingress and egress on at least a secondary thoroughfare. Recreational vehicle parks and mixed parks in the urban area shall abut and have their major means of ingress and egress on at least a primary thoroughfare.
(N) All mobile home parks shall have and maintain a solid-screened fence of not less than six feet in height along all park boundaries not bordering a street. Material shall be of any standard fencing material provided that such screening fence shall provide a visibility barrier and shall be of sufficient strength to withstand normal winds and other weather occurrences common to the area.
