[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, Administration, Art. I, General Code Provisions, Div. I)]
(A) 
Sites selected for manufactured home development shall be well-drained and free from topographical or geological hinderances and from other conditions unfavorable to a proper residential environment. The manufactured home development shall not be located near swamps, wetlands, marshes, or other breeding places of insects, rats, mice or other rodents. When a good, natural drainage is not available, storm water drainage shall be provided and such drainage shall not endanger any water supply or surface watercourse.
(B) 
The Village Board may authorize a site survey to ascertain that the proposed location complies with the above requirements. (See Floodplain and Zoning Codes, if any.)
(A) 
All streets and driveways in every park shall be constructed in compliance with Chapter 34, Setback Code.
(B) 
All streets in parks constructed shall have a minimum right-of-way of 50 feet and a minimum road width of 32 feet for the purpose of this Code, and shall be considered private streets to be maintained by the park owner or operator. If a manufactured home park has more than 50 units, a wider street may be required by the corporate authorities.
(C) 
Sidewalks and walkways shall be constructed abutting a street in a manufactured home park and shall be a minimum of four feet in width; provided, however, there shall be no minimum width requirement for sidewalks for each individual lot. No portion of a mobile home shall block, in any way, the pedestrian traffic on the walkways.
The regulations established and adopted by reference in § 23-1-2; 23-1-3; 23-1-4; and 23-1-5 shall be applicable to manufactured home parks.
