Operative Text
A. General requirements. A safe and convenient vehicular access shall be provided from abutting public streets or roads. The Planning Board may require additional entrances or exits whenever it deems it necessary for the public safety and welfare. B. Access. The entrance and exit roads connecting the park streets with a public street or road shall have a minimum road pavement width of 20 feet and a total width of 36 feet, including rights-of-way. There shall be no obstructions on any entrance or exit road at the juncture of such road with a public road, and visual sight distance along the road shall be for a minimum distance of 100 feet in both directions or as required by the New York State Department of Transportation. C. Internal streets. Surfaced roadways shall be of adequate width to accommodate anticipated traffic, including emergency vehicles, and in any case shall meet the following minimum requirements: (1) Where parking is permitted on both sides, a minimum pavement width of 28 feet will be required. (2) A minimum road pavement width of 22 feet will be required where parking is limited to one side. (3) A minimum road pavement width of 18 feet will be required where off-street parking is provided. Each off-street parking space shall have an area at least nine feet wide and 20 feet long, not including maneuvering to access areas. (4) The paved portions of such streets shall be finished with a smooth, hard and dust-free surface which shall be durable and well-drained under normal use and weather conditions. (5) All streets shall be constructed, graded and leveled so as to permit the safe passage of emergency vehicles at a speed reasonable and prudent. (6) A cul-de-sac shall be provided in lieu of closed end streets, a turnaround having an outside roadway diameter of at least 120 feet or an equivalent T-turnaround shall be provided pursuant to Town of Barton Highway Specifications. D. Parking. Two off-road parking spaces must be provided for each mobile home lot, which shall be not less than 360 square feet in size. E. Lighting. The appropriate lighting, including but not limited to spacing and type of lighting units, as will provide necessary illumination for the safety of pedestrians and vehicles, shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Town Board and the applicant.
Section 97-36 of Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 97 establishes physical design standards for streets, access roads, parking, and lighting within mobile home parks. It sets minimum pavement widths for entrance/exit roads and internal streets depending on parking configuration, requires clear sight lines at public road junctions, mandates cul-de-sacs or equivalent turnarounds at dead ends, and calls for two off-road parking spaces per mobile home lot. Lighting levels are to be determined jointly by the Town Board and the applicant.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of mobile home parks in Barton must design and construct road infrastructure in compliance with § 97-36, including entrance roads at least 20 feet wide with 36-foot total right-of-way, internal streets sized according to the applicable parking configuration, and unobstructed sight lines of at least 100 feet at public road junctions. Each mobile home lot must be served by two off-road parking spaces of at least 360 square feet each, and all internal streets must be graded and surfaced to allow safe emergency vehicle passage. Lighting plans are finalized through a mutual agreement process with the Town Board, so engaging that process early in the development timeline is a standard part of compliance.
