streets. The entrance road connecting the park streets with a public
street or road shall have a minimum road pavement width of thirty-four
(34) feet where parking is permitted on both sides, or a minimum road
pavement width of twenty-seven (27) feet where parking is limited
to one side. Where the primary entrance road is more than one hundred

Pavement. All mobile home and travel
trailer park streets shall be provided with a smooth, hard and dense
surface which shall be durable and well drained under normal use and
average weather conditions. Pavement edges shall be protected to prevent
raveling of the wearing surface and shifting of the pavement base.
Street surfaces shall be maintained free of cracks, holes and other
hazards. Such streets shall have concrete curbs and be constructed
with a base of not less than six (6) inches of crushed stone and a
surface of not less than two (2) inches of asphaltic concrete pavement
or not less than six (6) inches thick as having a tensile strength

(28) days reinforced with welded wire mesh.
2.
Grades. Grades of all mobile home
and trailer park streets shall be sufficient to ensure adequate surface
drainage, but shall be not more than eight percent (8%). Short run
with a maximum grade of twelve percent (12%) may be permitted, provided
traffic safety is assured by appropriate paving, adequate leveling
areas and avoidance of lateral curves.

uplift, sliding, rotation, and overturning. Each stand shall have
a minimum width of twelve (12) feet and a minimum length of fifty-five
(55) feet and shall have a surface of not less than six (6) inches
in thickness concrete slab reinforced with six (6) inches by six (6)

on the superstructure.
C. The mobile home stand shall be provided
with anchors and tie-downs such as cast-in-place concrete "dead men,"
eyelets imbedded in concrete foundations or runways, screw augers,
