B. Design Standards. The procedure for rezoning of land to an "M-1" Mobile Home District shall be the same procedure as described in Sections
405.420 and
405.430 of this Chapter. Prior to the rezoning of land to an "M-1" Mobile Home District, the Planning Commission and the Board of Trustees must find that a mobile home park plan has been prepared which meets the following design standards:
1. A Mobile Home District shall be no less than three (3) acres in total area.
2. Each mobile home in a Mobile Home Park District shall occupy a designated space having at least three thousand five hundred (3,500) square feet of lot area.
3. Each mobile home space shall have a width of at least forty (40) feet, exclusive of parking spaces.
4. Each mobile home space shall abut a street within the park. Said street shall be graded and surfaced with not less than four (4) inches of crushed stone or other suitable material on a well compacted sub-base to at least forty (40) feet to back of curb, exclusive of required parking spaces. If at such time the private owner turns the street over to the Village of Oak Grove, said street shall be curbed and guttered before the Village of Oak Grove accepts the street.
5. Two (2) off-street parking spaces with not less than four (4) inches of crushed stone or other suitable material on a well compacted sub-base shall be provided for each mobile home space. Required parking spaces may be included within the three thousand five hundred (3,500) square feet required for each mobile home space.
6. At least two hundred (200) square feet of recreation space for each mobile home space shall be reserved within each mobile home park as common recreation space for the residents of the park. Such areas, along with driveways and walkways, shall be adequately lighted and maintained for safety.
7. No mobile homes or other structure within a mobile home park shall be closer to each other than twenty (20) feet, except that storage structures for the exclusive use of the mobile home may be closer to the using mobile home than twenty (20) feet.
8. No mobile home shall be located closer than twenty (20) feet to the exterior boundary of the park or to a bounding street right-of-way, or ten (10) feet to edge of street. Buildings used for laundry or recreation purposes shall be located no closer than forty (40) feet to the exterior boundary or the right-of-way of a bounding street.
9. The Mobile Home Park District and all occupied units located in it must be connected to the Village water and sewerage systems.
10. All mobile homes within a mobile home park must have anchors and/or tie downs and must be completely enclosed with skirting.
11. Plans clearly indicating the developers intention to comply with the provisions of this Section shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission. Such plans must be drawn to a scale of not less than one (1) inch equals fifty (50) feet. Such plans must show the area for the proposed Mobile Home Park District; the ownership and use of neighboring parcels; all proposed entrances, exits, driveways, walkways, and off-street parking spaces; the location of mobile home spaces, recreation areas and service buildings; and the proposed plan for water supply and sewage disposal. The Planning Commission shall have the authority to impose such reasonable conditions and safeguards on the proposed development as it deems necessary for the protection of adjoining properties and the public interest.
12. A densely planted buffer strip, consisting of trees, shrubs, and other plantings at least five (5) feet in height, shall be provided along all rear and side property lines of the park when it adjoins a residential area. A five-foot solid fence may be substituted.
13. Any expansion of mobile home parks in existence on the effective date of this Chapter shall comply with the provisions of this Section.
C. Compliance. No mobile home shall be placed in a new mobile home park until the streets and other physical improvements shown on the mobile home park plan have been installed. The owner of the mobile home park may submit a phase development and use plan for approval to the Board of Adjustment. The owner of the mobile home park may complete the construction of one (1) section of the mobile home park and place mobile homes in this completed section, provided that the construction is in accordance with the design standards and the approved phase development plan.
