Accessibility
Operative Text
A. Each mobile home park shall be directly accessible from an existing public highway or street. B. Where a mobile home park has more than 25 mobile home lots, two points of entry and exit shall be provided, but in no instance shall the number of entry and exit points exceed four. (1) Such entrances and exits shall be designed and strategically located at a minimum distance of 50 feet between them for the safe and convenient movement into and out of the park and to minimize friction with the free movement of traffic on a public highway or street. (2) All entrances and exits shall be at right angles to the existing public highway or street. (3) All entrances and exits shall be free of any material which would impede the visibility of the driver on a public highway or street. (4) All entrances and exits shall be of sufficient width to facilitate the turning movements of vehicles with mobile homes attached. (5) The requirement of two points of access may be waived to one for design purposes, provided that an appropriate all-weather emergency access area is provided and maintained open at all times and free from snow. C. Each park shall have improved streets to provide for the convenient access to all mobile home lots and other important facilities within the park. Streets shall be improved to at least meet Town highway specifications set forth in Chapter A75 , Standard Specifications for Public Works. (1) The street system shall be designed to permit the safe and convenient vehicular circulation within the park. (2) Streets shall be adapted to the topography and shall have suitable alignment and gradient for traffic safety. (3) All streets shall intersect at angles not less than 80º. (4) All streets shall have a minimum paved width of 24 feet. (5) Except in cases of emergency, no parking shall be allowed on such streets. D. An all-weather, dustless driveway shall be provided for each mobile home lot. This driveway shall have a minimum width of 10 feet.
Section 48-16 of Chenango's Code of Ordinances establishes physical access and circulation standards for mobile home parks. Parks must connect directly to a public road, and those with more than 25 lots must have at least two entry and exit points—no more than four—spaced at least 50 feet apart, set at right angles to the public road, and kept clear of visibility obstructions. Internal streets must meet Town highway specifications, intersect at angles no less than 80 degrees, be at least 24 feet wide, and each individual lot must be served by an all-weather driveway at least 10 feet wide.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks subject to § 48-16 of Chenango Code ch. 48 generally ensure that their park's entry and exit points are properly configured—right-angled to the public road, spaced at least 50 feet apart, and kept free of visibility obstructions and snow at all times. Compliant operators maintain internal streets built to Town highway specifications under Chapter A75, enforce a no-parking rule on park streets except in emergencies, and provide each lot with an all-weather, dustless driveway of at least 10 feet in width. Parks with more than 25 lots typically maintain at least two access points, or one access point paired with a maintained all-weather emergency access area if a design waiver has been granted.
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 Chenango have an interest in the access and circulation standards set out in § 48-16 of ch. 48, which require that parks be safely connected to public roads and that internal streets and driveways meet defined physical standards. If a park's entrances, internal streets, or lot driveways appear to fall short of these requirements—such as obstructed sight lines, inadequate street width, or a poorly maintained driveway—tenants may consider documenting the conditions and raising the issue with the appropriate local code enforcement authority. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York mobile home park regulations can help residents understand what options may be available to them.
