Spring Lake Park, Minn., Mun. Code ch. 15.08 (2026) § 15.08.030
Site Requirements
Operative Text
In addition to any conditions or requirements imposed by the conditional use permit, the mobile home park shall conform to the following requirements. The park shall be located on a well drained site, properly graded to insure rapid drainage and freedom from stagnant pools of water. Mobile home spaces shall be provided consisting of a minimum of 3,000 square feet for each space which shall be at least 40 feet wide and clearly defined; provided, however, that mobile home parks in existence on the effective date of this chapter which provide mobile home spaces that have a width or area less than that herein above prescribed, may continue to operate with spaces of the existing width and area, but in no event shall any mobile home space be less than 27 feet wide and have an area of less than 1,050 square feet. It is further provided that any mobile home containing more than 1,200 square feet shall be placed on two 3,000-foot spaces. Mobile homes shall be so harbored on each space that there shall be at least ten-foot clearance between mobile homes. No mobile home shall be located closer than ten feet from any building within the park or from any property line bounding the park. All mobile home spaces shall abut upon a driveway of not less than ten feet in width, which shall have unobstructed access to a public street, alley, or highway. Walkways not less than two feet wide shall be provided from the mobile home spaces to the service buildings. All driveways and walkways within the park shall be hard surfaced and lighted at night with electric lamps of not less than 25 watts each, spaced at intervals of not more than 100 feet. Each park shall provide service buildings to house those toilet, bathing, and other sanitation facilities and laundry facilities as are hereinafter more particularly prescribed. An electrical outlet supply at least 100 volts shall be provided for each mobile home space.
Spring Lake Park's Ch. 15.08 Mobile Homes And Mobile Home Parks § 15.08.030 establishes physical and infrastructure standards that mobile home parks must meet. Each mobile home space must be at least 3,000 square feet and 40 feet wide, with minimum clearances between homes, buildings, and property lines, though pre-existing parks with smaller spaces may continue under limited grandfather provisions. The rule also mandates properly drained and graded land, hard-surfaced and lighted driveways and walkways, access to public roads, service buildings with sanitation and laundry facilities, and at least a 100-volt electrical outlet at every space.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Spring Lake Park must ensure their properties conform to the site and infrastructure standards set out in § 15.08.030, in addition to any conditions attached to their conditional use permit. Compliant parks maintain proper grading and drainage, enforce the required spacing and clearance between homes and property lines, keep driveways and walkways hard-surfaced and illuminated with electric lamps of at least 25 watts spaced no more than 100 feet apart, and provide service buildings and electrical outlets at each space. Parks that predate this chapter and have smaller spaces should verify whether they qualify for the grandfather provision and confirm that no space falls below the absolute minimums of 27 feet wide and 1,050 square feet.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of mobile home parks in Spring Lake Park are protected by the site and infrastructure standards established under § 15.08.030, which set minimum requirements for space size, drainage, clearances, lighting, walkways, driveways, sanitation facilities, and electrical service. If a park appears to fall short of these standards—such as inadequate drainage, insufficient lighting, or missing electrical outlets—tenants may consider documenting the conditions and contacting the appropriate Spring Lake Park municipal authority or code enforcement office to report potential violations. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help residents understand what options are generally available when a park may not be meeting its obligations under this provision.
