General. The condition of soil, groundwater levels, drainage
and topography shall not create hazards to the property, or the health and
safety of the occupants. The site shall not be exposed to objectionable smoke,
noise, odors or other adverse influences, and no portion subject to unpredictable
and/or sudden flooding, subsidence or erosion shall be used for any purpose
which would expose persons or property to hazards.
Soil and ground cover. Exposed ground surfaces in all
parts of every travel trailer camp shall be paved or covered with stone screenings
or other solid material or protected with a vegetative growth that is capable
of preventing soil erosion and of eliminating objectionable dust.
Site drainage requirements. The ground surface in all
parts of every travel trailer camp shall be graded and equipped to drain all
surface water in a safe, efficient manner.
Signs. The only signs or displays permitted on the premises
is one sign at each entrance to the camp from a public road indicating the
name of the travel trailer camp. Such signs shall not exceed 16 square feet
in area.
At lest 100 feet from the right-of-way line of a public
street or highway and must be adequately screened therefrom by topography
or natural vegetation.
All travel trailer camps shall be provided with screening,
such as attractive and well-maintained fences or natural growth, such as trees
or shrubs, along the property boundary line separating the park and the adjacent
uses.
Each trailer lot shall have a travel trailer stand which
will provide for the practice placement on a removal from the lot of the trailer
and the retention of the trailer on the lot in a stable condition.
In all camps accommodating or designed to accommodate
five or more travel trailers, there shall be one or more recreation areas
which shall be easily accessible to all camp residents.
The size of such recreation areas shall be based upon
a minimum of 200 square feet for each lot. No outdoor recreation area shall
contain less than 5,000 square feet.
Such open space shall be conveniently located in the
camp. Such space shall have a total area equal to at least 10% of the gross
land area of the camp or at the rate of 1,500 square feet per travel trailer
lot, whichever is greater (such open space areas shall be at least one acre).
Each travel trailer camp shall be directly accessible
from an existing public highway or street. No dead-end street or culs-de-sac
shall be permitted in any travel trailer camp.
Where a travel trailer camp has more than 16 travel trailers,
two points of entry and exit shall be provided, but in no instance shall the
number of entry and exit points exceed four.
Entrances and exits shall be designed and strategically
located a minimum distance of 100 feet between them for the safe and convenient
movement into and out of the camp and to minimize friction with the free movement
of traffic on a public highway or street.
Be free of all objects which would impede the visibility
of the driver entering or exiting a public highway or street for a distance
of 20 feet from the edge of pavement of the public highway and camp road.
Each camp shall have improved streets to provide for
the convenient access to all travel trailer lots and other important facilities
within the camp. Streets shall be improved to at least meet the following
specifications:
Roads shall be at least 14 feet wide for one-way traffic
and 20 feet wide for two-way traffic. All roads shall be maintained in a well-graded,
well-drained condition and surfaced with an all-weather dustless material.
Additional off-street parking spaces, surfaced with an
all-weather dustless material, shall be provided at strategic and convenient
locations within 200 feet from the travel trailer that it is intended to serve.
Walks. Walkways shall be designed where possible to avoid
crossing roads to reach service buildings or recreational areas. Walkways
in the campground shall be indicated on the plan and shall be surfaced with
an all-weather dustless material.
Lawn and ground cover shall be provided on those areas
not used for the placement of travel trailers and other buildings, walkways,
roads and parking areas.
Planting or screening soil shall be provided and maintained
to the extent needed in order to provide for the screening of objectionable
views. Screen planting or fencing shall be provided to screen objectionable
views. Views which shall be screened include, but are not limited to, nonresidential
uses, garbage storage and collection areas and fuel tanks.
Trees and shrubs shall be provided along all walks and
streets and around recreation areas. Trees shall be planted at an interval
of not more than 50 feet, where feasible.
General. As accessible, adequate, safe and potable supply
of water shall be provided for each occupied structure. A private water system
shall be developed and used of a type approved by the New York State Department
of Health.
Cold drinking water shall be supplied from taps, with
each tap serving a maximum of four camp sites. Each water outlet shall have
a valve and dry well.
Every well or suction line of the water supply system
shall be located and constructed in such a manner that neither underground
nor surface contamination will reach the water supply from any source. The
following minimum distances between wells and various sources of contamination
shall be required.
All water piping, fixtures and other equipment shall
be constructed and maintained in accordance with state and local regulations
and requirements and shall be of a type and in locations approved by the health
authority.
The water piping system shall not be connected with nonpotable
or questionable water supplies and shall be protected against the hazards
of backflow or back siphonage.
The system shall be so designed and maintained as to
provide a pressure of not less than 20 pounds per square inch under normal
operating conditions at service buildings and other locations requiring a
potable water supply.
General. An adequate and safe sewage system shall be
provided in all travel trailer camps for conveying and disposing of all sewage.
Such system shall be designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with
state and local laws.
Sewer lines. All sewer lines shall be located in trenches
of sufficient depth, to be free of breakage from traffic or other movements,
and shall be separated from the park water supply system at a safe distance.
Sewers shall be at a grade which will ensure a velocity of two feet per second
when flowing full. All sewer lines shall be constructed of materials approved
by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, shall be adequately
vented and shall have watertight joints.
Treatment and discharge. When the sewer lines of the
travel trailer camp are not connected to a public sewer, all proposed sewage
disposal facilities shall be approved by the State Health Department prior
to construction. Effluents from sewage treatment facilities shall not be discharged
into any waters of the state, except with prior approval of the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation.

shall be well lighted at all times of the day and night; shall be well ventilated
with screened openings; shall be constructed of moistureproof material; shall
be well heated; and shall be clean and maintained in a sanitary condition
at all times. The floors of such buildings shall be of a water-impervious

system consisting of wiring, fixtures, equipment and appurtenances which shall
be installed and maintained in accordance with applicable codes and regulations
governing such systems.
