or roads to each mobile home lot. Alignment and gradient shall be
properly adapted to topography as approved by the Borough Engineer.
B.
Access. Access to mobile home parks shall be designed to minimize
congestion and hazards at the entrance or exit and allow free movement
of traffic of adjacent streets.
C.
Streets. All streets shall have minimum road pavement width of 40
feet. Any street shall be built to the street and storm drainage specifications

mobile home park will remain unsubdivided and in the name of a private
owner.

be at approximately right angles. Not more than two streets shall
intersect at one point and a distance of at least 150 feet shall be

All mobile home parks shall be provided with safe, convenient, all
season pedestrian walks of ID-2 Bituminous concrete or portland cement
concrete of a depth and width approved by the Borough Engineer between

of peculiar physical conditions pertaining to his land, the literal
enforcement of one or more of the regulations is impractical or will
exact hardship, the Borough Planning Commission may recommend such
variance or variances to the Borough Council as may be reasonable
and within the general purpose and intent of the rules, regulations
and standards established by this chapter.
