The following provisions shall govern the location and design of parks:
A. Parks shall be of three (3) types:
1. Mobile home parks;
2. Travel trailer parks; and
3. Mixed mobile home and travel trailer parks.
No travel trailer shall be located in a mobile home park. No mobile home shall be located in a travel trailer 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 sectors.
B. All parks shall be located on a well-drained site, properly graded to ensure rapid drainage and freedom from stagnant pools of water. Drainage shall not endanger any water supply.
C. The minimum area of any park shall be five (5) acres. Parks in existence on May 6, 1991, can continue to operate with less than five (5) acres area. If the park is to be expanded, it must at that time have a minimum area of five (5) acres.
D. Intensity of development shall be limited to no more than ten (10) homes per gross acre for a mobile home park and no more than fifteen (15) travel trailers per gross acre for a travel trailer park. Area used for sewage treatment facilities shall not be included in density computations. Mobile home spaces shall be at least thirty (30) feet wide where pads are closest to driveways. Travel trailer spaces shall be at least twenty-five (25) feet wide where travel trailers are located closest to the driveway.
E. Every space shall be clearly defined. All mobile homes and travel trailers shall be parked in such spaces so that at the nearest point they shall be ten (10) feet from the service road, five (5) feet from the rear lot line, and at least ten (10) feet from any other home or travel trailer.
F. It is unlawful to locate any mobile home or travel trailer less than twenty-five (25) feet from any public street or highway right-of-way or so that any part of such home or travel trailer will obstruct any roadway or walkway of such park.
G. It is unlawful to permit a mobile home to occupy a travel trailer space, a travel trailer to occupy a mobile home space, and for any mobile home or travel trailer to be located in a park unless in a space designated specifically for that type of mobile home or travel trailer.
H. All mobile home spaces shall abut upon a sealed-surface driveway of not less than twenty (20) feet in width, if on-street parking is prohibited, and twenty-six (26) feet in width, if on street parking is permitted on one (1) side of the street only. Driveways must have unobstructed access to a public street or highway.
I. In all parks existing on May 6, 1991, 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 City Council. If upon final appeal before the City Council it is determined that a safety hazard does in fact exist, the park concerned will be required to comply with the following provisions:
1. In new mobile home parks, at least two (2) clearly defined parking spaces will be provided for each space either on or adjacent to the space; and
2. In new travel trailer parks, at least one (1) parking space shall be provided for each space either on, or adjacent to, the space.
J. All roadways within a park which are to be dedicated to the City shall be at least asphalt-oil-rock sealed and surfaced. All roadways not dedicated to the City shall be at least crushed limestone.
K. In developed areas of the City, new parks must abut and have their major means of ingress and egress on at least a secondary thoroughfare. Wherever possible, major access shall be along a primary thoroughfare.
L. All parks shall have and maintain a buffer planting strip not less than three (3) feet in width along all park boundaries not bordering a street. Such strip shall consist of not less than one (1) row of shrubs spaced not more than eight (8) feet apart which will eventually grow to a height of not less than twelve (12) feet. Such strip may also consist of an earthen berm or a fence at least six (6) feet in height or a combination of berm, landscaping, or fence.
