(A) General requirements. All mobile home parks shall be provided with safe and convenient vehicular access lots in mobile home parks from abutting interior streets. Alignment and gradient shall be properly adapted to topography.
(B) Access. Access to mobile home parks shall be designed to minimize congestion and hazards at the entrance or exit and allow free movement of traffic on adjacent streets. The entrance road connecting the park streets with a public street or road shall have a minimum road pavement of 42 feet where parking is permitted on both sides, or a minimum road pavement width of 32 feet where parking is limited to one side. Where the primary entrance road is more than 100 feet long and does not provide access to abutting mobile home lots within such distance, the minimum road pavement width may be 24 feet providing parking is prohibited on both sides.
(C) Interior streets. Surfaced roadways shall be of adequate width to accommodate anticipated traffic and in any case, shall meet the following minimum requirements:
(1) All streets, except minor streets: no parking, 24 feet;
(2) Minor streets: no parking, 22 feet;
(3) One-way minor street: no parking, 12 feet (acceptable only if less than 500 feet total length and serving less than 25 mobile home lots);
(4) Dead end streets shall be limited in length to 300 feet and shall be provided at the closed end with a turn-around having an outside roadway radius of at least 40 feet with no parking permitted. Where parking is permitted, the radius shall be not less than 50 feet;
(5) All streets of a mobile home park providing ingress and egress from an abutting public street or road shall have the location and design of intersection with such public street or road approved by the city’s Traffic Engineer and by any other governmental agency exercising control over such streets or roads; and
(6) All vehicular traffic access to mobile home lots shall be from interior streets.
(D) Required illumination of mobile home park street systems. All parks shall be furnished with lighting units so spaced and equipped with approved fixtures placed at such mounting heights as will provide the following average maintained levels of illumination for the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles at night:
(1) All parts of the park street systems: six-tenths foot candle, with a minimum of twenty-five hundredths foot candle; and
(2) Potentially hazardous locations, such as major street intersections and steps or stepped ramps: individually illuminated with a minimum of four-tenths foot candle.
(E) Street construction and design standards.
(1) Pavement. All streets shall be constructed with either hot mix asphaltic concrete or portland cement concrete with an approved curb to provide for drainage. Street surfaces shall be maintained free of cracks, holes and other hazards. All streets shall be constructed to specifications approved by the city.
(2) Surface drainage. Grades of all streets shall be sufficient to ensure adequate surface drainage, but shall be not more than 8%. Short runs with a maximum grade of 10% may be permitted; provided, traffic safety is assured by appropriate paving, adequate leveling areas and avoidance of lateral curves. All street grades shall have prior approval of the city before commencing construction.
(3) Intersections. Within 100 feet of an intersection, streets shall be at approximately right angles. A distance of at least 150 feet shall be maintained between center line of offset intersecting streets. Intersections of more than two streets at one point shall be avoided.
