Manufactured housing parks may be located only in any zone district
or area in which such parks are permitted by the zoning regulations of the
village.
In determining the propriety of establishing a manufactured housing
park in any area of the village, the following conditions must be considered:
A. Soil conditions, groundwater level, drainage, topography,
flooding, erosion, smoke, odors or other conditions which will have an adverse
effect either on the land within the project, the occupants thereof or on
other land in and residents of the village.
B. Any adverse economic, aesthetic or other effect which
may affect the health, welfare and the economic condition of the residents
of the village and their properties.
Exposed ground surfaces in all parts of any manufactured housing park
shall be paved, surfaced with crushed stone or other solid material or protected
with grass or plant material capable of preventing erosion and of eliminating
objectionable dust. Each manufactured home lot shall be provided with at least
one tree of no less than two inches' caliper. All proposed landscaped
areas shall be clearly indicated on the plan, and the type of treatment (grass,
shrubs, ground cover, etc.) shall be specified. The manufactured home lot,
except for pad and driveway and other accessory buildings, shall be adequately
covered or landscaped by or with grass, shrubs, gardens and trees.
The ground surface in all parts of any manufactured housing park shall
be graded and equipped to ensure rapid drainage and to eliminate stagnant
pools of water. Gutters, culverts, catch basins, drain inlets, stormwater
sewers or other satisfactory drainage systems shall be provided as necessary.
Protection of downstream properties from drainage runoff shall be approved
by the Village Engineer.
Manufactured housing parks located adjacent to existing manufacturing,
business or single-family land uses shall be screened from said uses by an
evergreen fencing of sufficient height (generally about six feet) or other
effective screening in order to create an effective visual barrier or by vegetative
growth which will attain a height and density equal to the evergreen fence
in three years.
All manufactured housing parks shall be furnished with lighting units,
either overhead, side lights or a combination of both, so spaced and equipped
as to provide for the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles. Wiring must
be underground as required by P.F.C. in all subdivisions.
In all parks accommodating or designed to accommodate 50 or more manufactured
homes, there shall be one or more recreation areas which shall be developed
by the park owner and easily accessible to all park residents. The size of
such recreation areas shall be based upon a minimum of 500 square feet for
each manufactured home lot. Recreation areas shall be located so as not to
create major traffic hazards and shall be integrated into the design and layout
of the park. The recreational area or areas shall measure no less than 50
feet on any one side.
No outdoor storage of garden equipment, tools, furniture, machinery, appliances, unlicensed vehicles or similar items shall be permitted. Any storage facilities constructed on the lot shall be located so as to maintain the separation or setback requirements of §
127-23C of this chapter. Storage facilities (buildings) shall be constructed of metal or wood, and the exterior shall be maintained in a finished condition and secured to the ground.
The manufactured home stand shall be provided with anchors and tie-downs
such as cast-in-place concrete deadmen, eyelets imbedded in concrete foundations,
screw augers, arrowhead anchors or other devices capable of securing the stability
of the manufactured home. Anchors and tie-downs shall be placed at least at
each corner of the manufactured home stand.
All manufactured homes shall comply with the requirements of §
109-13A, Anchoring, of Chapter
109, Flood Damage Prevention.
