A.
R-MH Mobile Home Districts may hereafter be established in accordance

It is the intent of this article to recognize mobile homes constructed
prior to October 1, 1974, as distinct and different from units designated
as mobile homes within the definitions of this article and to prohibit

Units constructed prior to 1974 and with a value, as determined by
the Village Assessor, of less than $4,500 are prohibited. Mobile homes
meeting the requirements of the Uniform Dwelling Code shall not be
permitted in a R-MH Mobile Home District except as a conditional use.

conditioning and electrical systems, and all appliances and all other
equipment carrying a manufacturer's warranty.[2]
A parcel of land which has been developed for the placement
of mobile homes and is owned by an individual, a firm, trust, partnership,

C.
Common recreational area shall not include streets or parking areas,
shall be closed to automotive traffic except for maintenance and service
vehicles, and shall be improved and maintained for the uses intended.
The following guides, standards and requirements shall apply
in site planning for mobile home parks:
A.
Principal vehicular access points. Principal vehicular access points
shall be designed to encourage smooth traffic flow with controlled
turning movements and minimum hazards to vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
Merging and turnout lanes and/or traffic dividers shall be required
where existing or anticipated heavy flows indicate need. In general,
minor streets shall not be connected with streets outside the district
in such a way as to encourage the use of such minor streets by substantial
amounts of through traffic. No lot within the community shall have
direct vehicular access to a street bordering the development.
B.
Access for pedestrians and cyclists. Access for pedestrians and cyclists
entering or leaving the park shall be by safe and convenient routes.
Such ways need not be adjacent to or limited to the vicinity of vehicular
access points. Where there are crossings of such ways and vehicular
routes at edges of planned developments, such crossings shall be safety
located, marked and controlled and where such ways are exposed to
substantial vehicular traffic at edges of parks, safeguards may be
required to prevent crossings except at designated points. Bicycle
paths, if provided, shall be so related to the pedestrian way system
that street crossings are combined.
C.
Protection of visibility: automotive traffic, cyclists and pedestrians. At intersections of any streets, public or private, the provisions of § 480-48 shall apply and is hereby adopted by reference. Where there is pedestrian or bicycle access from within the community to a street at its edges by paths or across yards or other open space without a barrier to prevent access to the street, no material impediment to visibility more than 2.5 feet above ground level shall be created or maintained within 25 feet of said street unless at least 25 feet from said access measured at right angles to the path.
D.
Ways for pedestrians and/or cyclists in exterior yards. In any exterior
yard, required or other, ways for pedestrian and/or cyclists may be
permitted, if appropriately located, fenced or landscaped to prevent
potential hazards arising from vehicular traffic on adjacent streets
or other hazards and annoyances to users or to occupants of adjoining
property. When otherwise in accord with the requirements concerning
such ways set forth above, approved ways in such locations shall be
counted as common recreation facilities and may also be used for utilities
easements.
E.
Internal relationships. The site plan shall provide for safe, efficient,
convenient and harmonious groupings of structures, uses and facilities,
and for appropriate relation of space inside and outside buildings
to intended uses and structural features. In particular:
(1)
Streets, drives and parking and service areas. Streets, drives and
parking and service areas shall provide safe and convenient access
to dwellings and community facilities and for service and emergency
vehicles, but streets shall not be so laid out as to encourage outside
traffic to traverse the community, nor occupy more land than is required
to provide access as indicated, nor create unnecessary fragmentation
of the community into small blocks. In general, block size shall be
the maximum consistent with use, the shape of the site and the convenience
and safety of the occupants.
(2)
Vehicular access to streets. Vehicular access to streets from off-street
parking areas may be direct from dwellings if the street or portion
of the street serves 50 units or less. Determination of units served
shall be based on normal routes anticipated for traffic. Along streets
or portions of streets serving more than 50 dwelling units, or constituting
major routes to or around central facilities, access from parking
and service areas shall be so combined, limited, located, designed
and controlled as to channel traffic conveniently, safely and in a
manner that minimizes marginal traffic friction, and direct vehicular
access from individual dwellings shall generally be prohibited.
(3)
Ways for pedestrians and cyclists; use by emergency, maintenance
or service vehicles.
(a)
Walkways shall form a logical, safe and convenient system for
pedestrian access to all dwellings, project facilities and principal
off-street pedestrian destinations. Maximum walking distance in the
open between dwelling units and related parking spaces, delivery areas
and trash and garbage storage areas intended for use of occupants
shall not exceed 100 feet.
(b)
Walkways to be used by substantial numbers of children as play
areas or routes to school, bus stops or other destinations shall be
so located and safeguarded as to minimize contracts with normal automotive
traffic. If an internal walkway system is provided, away from streets,
bicycle paths shall be incorporated in the walkway system. Street
crossings shall be held to a minimum on such walkways and shall be
located and designated to provide safety and shall be appropriately
marked and otherwise safeguarded. Ways for pedestrians and cyclists,
appropriately located, designed and constructed may be combined with
other easements and used by emergency, maintenance or service vehicles
but shall not be used by other automotive traffic.
In hardship cases, such as following a dwelling fire, the Village
Board may in its discretion grant a temporary permit, not to exceed
three months; said permit to clearly state the expiration date thereon,
provided sanitation rules as set forth in this article are complied
with and provided that consent of all adjacent owners or occupiers
of land is obtained. The temporary permit may be renewed for an additional
three-month period by the Village Board if the hardship continues
beyond the initial period.
Mobile homes may be located within the R-MH Zoned District,
provided the following requirements are met:
A.
All zoning requirements including lot size and setback restrictions
shall be complied with;
B.
That within one year of the date of the location of the mobile home
on any lot in the designated R-MH zoned subdivision, a garage structure/building

of the mobile homes and shall be properly anchored to reduce risk
of wind damage.
E.
All wheels shall be removed from all mobile homes when placed in
the designated R-MH zoned subdivision.
F.

a value of at least $20,000.
H.
Each mobile home that is placed in the Freeman Subdivision must have
a pitched roof and have vinyl siding or better on the sides of the
home.
I.
