(A) In order to minimize the potential impact of mobile home development on adjacent undeveloped or residential property, the developer of the park shall provide a buffer strip in accordance with the following schedule:
(1) All park boundaries not contiguous to a public right-of- way shall provide a buffer strip not less than 20 feet in width.
(2) All park boundaries contiguous to adjoining property fronting on the same public right-of-way shall provide a buffer strip not less than 20 feet in width plus an open space, equal in width and depth to the minimum lot design requirements of the zoning district of the adjoining parcel at the time of application. With the exception of the required 20-foot buffer, the additional open space required may be developed, deeded off, or transferred for development in accordance with the regulations of the zoning district in which it lies, but not for mobile homes.
(B) The buffer strip shall include a chain link, split rail, wood, or other decorative fence approved by the Plan Commission. The fence shall not be less than four feet in height or greater than six feet in height, and shall be effectively landscaped.
(C) When all or part of the proposed mobile home park is adjacent to land zoned for business or industry or when the mobile home park is adjacent to a major thoroughfare as shown on the Master Plan, or a railroad, or natural condition which creates a physical barrier, a dense screen planting of shrubs and trees which will provide an effective visual barrier when viewed at right angles shall be required. Such barrier shall achieve, at maturity, a height of not less than six feet.
(D) The Plan Commission may require that plans for proposed buffer strips be submitted to the County Cooperative Extension Service Landscape Architect or other qualified experts for review and recommendation to the Plan Commission.
