Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-45 establishes that every manufactured home park must have landscaping sufficient to control dust, and that landscaping must be kept clean and clear of refuse, garbage, rubbish, and debris. The rule also requires that landscaped areas be maintained in a way that prevents noxious weeds, as that term is defined elsewhere in the Code, from taking hold. Together, these requirements set a baseline standard for the upkeep and condition of outdoor green spaces within manufactured home parks in Hopkins.
