§ 17.5.325 ACCESS AND STREET DESIGN.

   A.   Pedestrian access .

      1.   A system of walkways and pathways shall be installed to link all manufactured dwellings , recreation areas, parking lots and common buildings . This system may consist of conventional sidewalks paralleling the streets , or an independent network of pathways. The system shall be linked with sidewalks along perimeter  streets bordering the manufactured dwelling park .

      2.   The pedestrian access system shall be designed to minimize conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. Where necessary, street crossing signs and signals shall be installed by the developer to ensure safe street crossings.

      3.   Pedestrian pathways may be designed to accommodate emergency vehicles, provided ordinary vehicular traffic is prohibited.

      4.   Pedestrian paths shall be at least four feet wide and shall be paved with a durable, all-weather surface.

   B.   Vehicular access .

      1.   Where possible, vehicular access to manufactured dwelling parks shall be from abutting arterial or collector streets . When bounded by more than one arterial or collector street , only one access point from each street is permitted.

      2.   An entrance or exit to a manufactured dwelling park shall be at least 100 feet from any public street intersection.

      3.   Access points shall be designed to encourage smooth traffic flow with safe and controlled turning movements. Merging and turnout lanes and traffic dividers shall be required where existing or anticipated heavy traffic volumes indicate the need.

      4.   No manufactured dwelling space shall have direct vehicular access to a street bordering the manufactured home park. Each manufactured dwelling space shall have direct access to an internal access road.

      5.   Internal roads and driveways shall be designed to provide safe and convenient access to manufactured dwelling spaces and other facilities in the manufactured dwelling park and access for service and emergency vehicles. Internal roads shall not be designed to encourage through traffic to cut through the manufactured home park.

      6.   Clear vision areas shall be provided at all roadway and driveway intersections in accordance with the standards of this Code.

   C.   Roadway design standards.

      1.   All interior roadways and drives shall be paved and maintained by the owner of the manufactured dwelling park in accordance with city standards.

      2.   All interior roadways shall have the following minimum curb-to-curb pavement widths:

Roadway Class	Parking	Pavement Width
Class 1 (one-way)	None	16 feet
Serving less than 20 spaces	One Side	19 feet
	Both Sides	25 feet
Class 2 (two-way)	None	20 feet
Serving less than 50 spaces	One Side	27 feet
	Both Sides	34 feet
Class 3 (two-way)	None	22 feet
Serving more than 50 spaces	One Side	29 feet
	Both Sides	36 feet

 

      3.   All corners shall have a minimum radius of 20 feet.

      4.   Curbs shall be installed on both sides of all interior roads. Curbs may be roll-type rather than vertical.

      5.   Storm drainage shall be managed through a system of underground drainage lines on all Class 3 roads. On Class 1 and 2 roads and cul-de-sacs , an inverted crown design may be used to conduct runoff water to catch basins.

      6.   Cul-de-sacs shall serve no more than 12 manufactured dwelling  sites and shall have a minimum turning radius of 35 feet measured to the back of the curb.

      7.   All interior roads shall be adequately lighted.

      8.   Where this section does not cover roadway construction standards, the design standards of the City Engineer shall apply.
