Adaptation To Site Assets: The mobile home or trailer unit shall be fitted to the terrain with a minimum disturbance of the land. Existing trees, rock formations, and other natural site features shall be reserved to the extent practicable. Favorable views or outlooks should be emphasized by the plan. | X | X | X | X |
Arrangements Of Structures And Facilities: The site, including mobile home or trailer stands, patios, structures, and all site improvements shall be harmoniously and efficiently organized in relation to topography, the shape of the plot, and the shape, size and position of structures and common facilities and with full regard to use, appearance and livability. Special attention should be given to new mobile home and trailer designs and the common appurtenances that are available. | X | X | X | X |
Community Facilities: Community facilities and other needed uses not classified as a residential use should be appropriately located with respect to the population to be served. Residential units should be separated or insulated from areas of heavy traffic noise, commercial and industrial activities and should merge with parks and other suitable open areas and community facilities. | X | X | O | O |
Drives, Carports And/Or General Parking Areas: Location of drives, carports and/or general parking areas should be appropriately related to the unit and other areas of the lot. Ease and safety of ingress and egress to each lot and convenience of access to the mobile home or trailer must be considered. Desirable views from the unit should not be blocked by drives or parking spaces, nor should drives and parking spaces break up important use areas of the lot or adjoining lots. | X | X | X | X |
General: Site planning should adapt to individual site conditions, type of market to be served, reflect advances in site planning techniques and be adaptable to the trends in design of the mobile home or trailer, itself. An informal park type of site planning which conforms to the natural terrain, existing trees and shrubs and rock formations is preferred. Adoption of a stylized pattern should be avoided. | X | X | X | X |
Groupings Or Clusters: Groupings or clusters of units which fit well together and provide neighborliness and attractive interior areas but yet provide a separateness about each unit should be encouraged. | X | X | ||
Methods Of Groupings: Blocks, cul-de-sacs, clusters, loop streets and other methods of groupings should be so designed and oriented to provide a substantial number of lots of desirable widths and depths. | X | X | ||
Movement On And Off Lot: Consideration must be given to the movement of the mobile home and trailer unit onto and off the lot. However, in the case of mobile home subdivisions, the amount of movement is limited; hence, a more desirable and proper orientation of the unit on the lot is more important than the ease of access. | X | X | X | X |
Objective: Site planning and improvements shall provide for a) facilities and amenities appropriate to the needs of the occupants, b) safe, comfortable and sanitary use by the occupants under all weather conditions, and c) practical and efficient operation and maintenance of all facilities at reasonable costs. | X | X | X | X |
Open Areas: The mobile home and trailer lot should provide usable, open and private areas which are appropriately related to functional areas of the mobile home and trailer unit. | X | X | X | X |
Open Areas On Lot Complement Adjacent Lots: The mobile home, trailers and open areas on one lot should complement and supplement those on adjacent lots. Open areas should flow together creating openness and enhancing primary views. | X | X | X | X |
Periphery Screen; Entrance: Mobile home subdivisions and parks should be designed with a periphery screen consisting of a wall, fence or tree and shrub border and they should have an attractively designed entrance over which the manager can exercise close control. | X | X | ||
Protection From Adverse Influences: | ||||
A. Adequate protection shall be provided from undesirable off site views of any adverse influence from adjoining streets and areas. | X | X | X | X |
B. Park facilities shall be arranged to create a homelike atmosphere. This objective is achieved by variations in the street pattern, block shapes and location of mobile home stands. Excessive repetition of the principal elements of the plan is not acceptable. | X | X | X | X |
Scale And Shape: Lots should be so scaled and shaped that a reasonable variety of mobile homes and additions can be placed on the lot. | X | X | ||
Street Design Pattern: The general street design pattern should fit the topography and at the same time provide a circulation system which effectively and safely serves each lot. Land devoted to streets should be held to a minimum and through traffic should be discouraged. Minor streets should be appropriately designed so that they safely fit into a collector and major street system. | X | X | X | X |
Suitability Of Site Improvements: All site improvements shall be appropriate to the type of development and durable under the use and maintenance contemplated. | X | X | X | X |
