A.
Lot size, setback and buffer requirements.
(1)
The developer of a manufactured home park shall reserve 25 feet
of open space abutting all the adjoining property owners before establishing
lots within the park. An evergreen hedge or screen, a minimum of six
feet in height and of sufficient density to adequately screen the
site from adjacent properties and roadways, shall be installed at
the time of establishment of the park and maintained thereafter in
compliance with the intent of this requirement.
(2)
The operator of a manufactured home park shall provide manufactured
home lots of not less than 15,000 square feet of ground, with a minimum
width of 75 feet, for each manufactured home on the premises. Each
manufactured home lot shall front on, but be setback at least 20 feet
from, an internal manufactured home park street, road, or right-of-way.
Each manufactured home shall be so situated that there is a minimum
of 30 feet between manufactured homes. In addition, each manufactured
home lot shall be numbered with a suitable marker.
B.
Open space requirements. A minimum of 10% of the gross land area
of the manufactured home park shall be reserved for recreational and
open space uses. This area may be within or outside of a building,
but must be for recreational purposes and is in addition to any other
open space areas required by yard or buffer requirements or other
sections of this chapter.
Manufactured home parks shall have access to public street or
highway. The design and construction of the interior street system
and access road shall be sufficient to adequately serve the size and
density of the project or development and shall conform to the requirements
of the Department of Highways and Transportation and the County. All
interior streets and access roads shall meet the specifications of
the Department of Highways and Transportation and shall comply in
width with the requirements of said Department of Highways and Transportation.
Off-street parking shall comply with the provisions of Article
12 of this chapter for all residential and nonresidential uses within
the project or development.
The operator of a manufactured home park shall provide water
and sewer facilities to all manufactured homes on the premises. These
facilities must be approved by the Health Official, and a valid health
permit must have been issued as required by state law to the operator
of said manufactured home park. Central water systems must have separate
cutoffs for each dwelling and office.
A.
The manufactured home park operator shall maintain a register for
each manufactured home lot for at least the previous three years;
such register shall be available at all times for inspection by law
enforcement officers, public health officials, and other state and
local officials and representatives whose duties necessitate acquisition
of the information contained in such register.
C.
The license number of each manufactured home and motor vehicle.
A.
The Board of Supervisors shall have the authority to consider applications
for a conditional use and may grant a conditional use permit for the
establishment of manufactured home parks pursuant to all provisions
of this chapter. Any expansion or establishment of additional lots
in any existing manufactured home park shall also require a conditional
use permit from the Board of Supervisors.
B.
A request for the location of a manufactured home in an approved manufactured home park shall not require a conditional use permit from the Board of Supervisors; provided, however, the location of a manufactured home in a manufactured home park shall be subject to all the requirements relating to manufactured homes as set forth in § 175-14.8 of this chapter. The Zoning Administrator or his agent may approve such applications for the location of manufactured homes in approved manufactured home parks, subject to all the provisions of this chapter.
A.
Before an application for a permit for the construction of a manufactured
home park shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors the applicant
shall, in lieu of construction, furnish cash escrow or a performance
bond in an amount calculated by the Board of Supervisors to secure
the required improvements in a workmanlike manner and in accordance
with established or approved specifications and construction schedules,
which bond shall be payable to and held by the County. The manufactured
home park's plans, construction schedule, and amount of bond shall
be reevaluated by the Board of Supervisors at least once every year
to insure compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
B.
The Board of Supervisors may reduce or increase the amount of bond
based upon improvements completed and escalation of costs for pending
improvements. Within six months after the completion of construction
of the manufactured home park, such bond or cash escrow, or the unexpended
or un-obligated portion thereof, shall be refunded to the applicant
or terminated, as the case may be.
A.
There must be tightly covered leak-proof garbage containers with
an adequate garbage collection service provided to each manufactured
home on the premises.
B.
All manufactured home lots shall be well-drained and kept in a clean
and orderly manner by the manufactured home park operator.
C.
The Board of Supervisors shall create a list of manufactured home
parks which were in existence prior to the enactment of this chapter.
The manufactured home parks on this list and any manufactured home
parks which may be approved by the Board of Supervisors in the future
will be considered as approved manufactured home parks.

Anchored according to the Building Code;
(3)

have been met.
