Spring Lake Park's Ch. 15.08 Mobile Homes And Mobile Home Parks § 15.08.060 establishes construction and maintenance standards for service buildings in mobile home parks that contain sanitation or laundry facilities. These structures must be permanent, code-compliant buildings kept well-lit around the clock, properly ventilated with screened openings, built from moisture-resistant materials, and maintained at a minimum indoor temperature of 68°F with water-impervious floors. Sanitation service buildings must be sited no closer than ten feet and no farther than 200 feet from any dependent mobile home space, and both the buildings and surrounding park grounds must be kept clean and free of conditions that could threaten occupant or public health.

Operators of mobile home parks in Spring Lake Park subject to § 15.08.060 generally ensure that any service building housing sanitation or laundry facilities is constructed as a permanent structure meeting all applicable building, electrical, and plumbing codes. Compliant park operators keep these buildings continuously lit day and night, maintain interior temperatures at or above 68°F, use moisture-proof and washable surface materials including water-impervious floors, and confirm that sanitation buildings are positioned within the ten-foot-to-200-foot proximity range from dependent mobile home spaces. Routine maintenance programs typically address cleanliness of both the service buildings and the broader park grounds to prevent nuisance conditions or health hazards.
