All streets within manufactured home parks shall be designated as private and shall be paved.
(A) Street requirements. Except as listed below, all streets must be constructed in accordance with the North Carolina Department of Transportation requirements for public streets. The exceptions from the North Carolina Department of Transportation standards are based upon the permitted driveway design for the individual spaces.
(1) Valley gutter design (See Appendix A):
(a) Right-of-way width: 45 feet;
(b) Pavement width: 20 feet;
(c) Minimum centerline radius: 150 feet; and
(d) Swale section:
1. Front slope: Horizontal distance of five feet with a slope of 5:1;
2. Back slope: Slope of 5:1; and
3. Longitudinal slope: 0.3%.
(2) Driveway tile installation (See Appendix A):
(a) Right-of-way width: 50 feet;
(b) Pavement width: 20 feet; and
(c) Minimum centerline radius: 150 feet.
(B) Cul-de-sacs. Every permanent dead end street shall be developed as a cul-de-sac and shall not exceed 1,200 feet in length, except where the shape of the tract of land being developed makes this requirement impractical. The length of the cul-de-sac shall be measured from the centerline of the nearest intersecting through street to the center of the turnaround. All North Carolina Department of Transportation design options for cul-de-sacs are allowed within parks.
(C) Temporary turnarounds. In cases where streets are proposed to be extended, the Planning Board may permit a temporary turnaround for a period not to exceed two years. Such turnarounds must be designed as a cul-de-sac bulb and constructed to North Carolina Department of Transportation base standards, but not necessarily paved.
(D) Street offsets. Whenever possible, proposed intersections on one side of a street, or road, or highway shall coincide with existing or proposed intersections on the opposite side of such street, road, or highway. In any event, however, street offsets, as measured between the center lines of intersecting streets, shall meet the following requirements:
(1) Internal streets. Street offsets within developments shall be at least 125 feet apart.
(2) Primary or secondary roads. Street offsets created by manufactured home park streets intersecting with primary highways or secondary roads shall be at least 250 feet apart.
