A. Maintenance Standards: All streets, roadways and sidewalks shall be maintained to a level sufficient to allow free vehicular passage for the residents, their guests, and emergency service responders under all reasonably anticipated conditions. The existence of a sufficient level of maintenance shall be determined as follows:
1. Street Surface Condition: The hard surface of the streets shall not be covered by dirt, sand, gravel or other materials to the extent that traction between the street surface and vehicle tires is substantially diminished. The street shall be maintained in a manner that horizontal or vertical separations or cracks of the traveled surface are not of a magnitude which will jar a passing motor vehicle operating within the speed limit. Street repair and patching shall also occur whenever a pothole with exposed base material exists, when a separation of crack results in crumbling pavement, or when any dip or settlement is pronounced enough to cause storm water to collect and not drain away.
2. Snow Removal And Ice Control: Snow removal operations shall occur as necessary to provide safe and unimpeded vehicular passage of the streets, and shall provide for curb to curb snow removal. At a minimum, snow removal operations shall be completed within twelve (12) hours after the end of a snowfall event which deposits more than two inches (2") of snow upon the street surface. Snow removal operations shall be conducted in a manner to achieve as close to a bare pavement surface as possible. To mitigate slippery street surfaces, sand and salt shall be applied to control ice where necessary, but especially at street intersections, sharp curves and other locations where motorists are likely to brake or turn.
B. Trash Collection; Recycling: Trash containers stored outside of manufactured home units must be placed behind the front entry stoop and be provided with additional screening if necessary so as not to be visible from the street, except that on the day of collection the containers may be placed at curbside along the private manufactured home park street. If contract trash removal is provided through the park owner with a master contract rather than contracted by individual manufactured home unit owners, the master contract must provide recycling opportunities for each manufactured home owner.
C. Accessory Structure Removal: Upon the removal of any manufactured home from a manufactured home park, it shall be the responsibility of the park owner to see that all freestanding or attached accessory structures, fences and debris left on the mobile home lot are removed within forty eight (48) hours after the removal of the unit. The city zoning administrator may approve the retention of all or part of the accessory structures, if the park owner requests same in writing, can demonstrate that they will meet the required setbacks from any replacement manufactured home unit to be placed on the lot, and if they are shown to be in sound condition. The park owner must also provide a written commitment to remove or relocate the accessory structure(s) permitted to remain if the required setbacks fail to be verified after the replacement manufactured home is placed.
