R-2 Mobile Home Residence Districts may hereafter
be established in accordance with the procedures, requirements and
limitations set forth in this article. Within such district, mobile
homes, with such additional supporting uses and occupancies as are
permitted herein, may be established subject to the requirements and
limitations set forth in these and other regulations.
B.
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 not meeting the requirements for mobile
homes as defined herein. Units constructed prior to 1974 are prohibited.
Mobile homes meeting the requirements of the One- and Two-Family Building
Dwelling Code shall not be permitted in an R-2 Mobile Home District
except as a conditional use. Permits may be obtained only after approval
by the Plan Commission.
C.
No person shall park, locate or place any mobile home
outside of a licensed mobile home park in the Village of New Glarus,
except that unoccupied mobile homes may be parked on the lawfully
situated premises of a licensed mobile home dealer for the purposes
of sales display; the lawfully situated premises of a vehicle service
business for purposes of servicing or making necessary repairs; the
premises leased or owned by the owner of such mobile home for purposes
of sales display for a period not exceeding 120 days, provided that
no business is carried on therein; or in an accessory private garage,
building or rear yard of the owner of such mobile home, provided that

SECONDARY EXPOSURE
The following definitions are used in this article:
A fire- and weather-resistant, prefinished material surrounding
the entire perimeter of a home and completely enclosing a space between
the exterior wall of such home and the ground. Foundation siding shall
be properly vented, harmonious, and compatible with the house and
installed within 60 days from the date of placement on site.
Mobile home communities/parks are distinguished from subdivisions
lacking common facilities and continuing management services. The
latter would be controlled by general subdivision regulations, which
would apply also to mobile home subdivisions without common open space
or continuing management.
A parcel of land platted for subdivision according to all
requirements of the Comprehensive Plan, designed or intended for lots
to be conveyed by deed to individual owners for residential occupancy
primarily by mobile homes.
Open areas adjacent to the front wall (or main entrance)
of a dwelling unit.
A single-family dwelling built on or after October 1, 1974,
in accordance with the ANSI Code (American National Standards Institute)
or in accordance with the HUD Code (Housing and Urban Development),
both of which govern the heating and cooling systems, electrical systems,
fire safety, body and frame construction, thermal protections and
plumbing systems. All said homes shall bear the proper approved Wisconsin
insignia as required by the Wisconsin Administrative Code, §§ COMM
20.12 to 20.17. "Mobile home" also means a dwelling which is, or was
as originally constructed, designed to be transported by any motor
vehicle upon a public highway and designed, equipped and used primarily
for sleeping, eating and living quarters, or is intended to be so
used, and includes any additions, attachments, annexes, foundations
and appurtenances, except that a mobile home is not deemed a mobile
home if the assessable value of such additions, attachments, annexes,
foundations and appurtenances equals or exceed 50% of the assessable

[1]
Editor's Note: Figure 305-2 is included as an attachment to this chapter.
A.
No less than 10% of the total area of any mobile home
park established under these regulations shall be devoted to common
recreational areas and facilities, such as playgrounds, swimming pools,
community buildings, ways for pedestrians and cyclists away from streets
and play areas for small children or other recreational areas in block
interiors. At least one principal recreation and community center
shall contain not less than 5% of the total area of the community.
B.
To be countable as common recreational area, interior
block ways for pedestrians or cyclists shall form part of a system
leading to principal destinations. Such ways may also be used for
installations of utilities.
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 pedestrianway
system that street crossings are combined.
C.
Protection of visibility for automotive traffic, cyclists and pedestrians. At intersections of any streets, public or private, the provisions of § 305-43 shall apply and are 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 pedestrians 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 utility 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 fewer. 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 contacts 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 state clearly the
expiration date thereon, provided that 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.
