General regulations
Operative Text
A. No trailer park or camp shall be located within 2,500 feet of the boundary line of any property used for public school purposes. B. All land used for trailer parks or camps shall be located in well-drained sites comprising a minimum of 10 acres, free from heavy or dense growth of brush or weeds. The land shall be properly graded so as to ensure rapid drainage during and following rain and shall be drained so as to be free from pools of stagnant water. C. Each unit in any trailer park or camp shall be not less than 1/4 acre in area, clearly defined by markers in each corner, and no more than one house trailer shall be permitted to occupy one unit. Units shall be grouped in blocks, with streets at least 30 feet wide in each block. Said streets shall be constructed and surfaced in accordance with the town road specifications and approved by the Town Superintendent of Highways. Each camp unit shall have at least thirty-foot frontage on such a street. Trailers shall be so placed on each unit that there shall be a distance of at least 20 feet to any front, rear or side lot line, and no camp unit shall be located within 50 feet of the boundary of a trailer camp. Each trailer on a unit space shall be so located in such manner as to provide off-street parking space for a minimum of one motor vehicle.
Section 131-6 of East Fishkill's Code of Ordinances establishes baseline physical and spatial standards for trailer parks and camps. No such facility may be sited within 2,500 feet of a public school property line, and the land itself must be at least 10 acres, well-drained, and free of stagnant water. Each individual unit must be at least one-quarter acre, clearly marked, served by a street at least 30 feet wide built to town road specifications, and positioned so that trailers maintain at least 20 feet from any lot line and 50 feet from the camp boundary, with off-street parking for at least one vehicle per trailer.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of trailer parks or camps in East Fishkill must ensure their properties satisfy every spatial threshold set out in § 131-6 before and during operation. Compliant operators typically verify the site's distance from public school boundaries, confirm the minimum 10-acre size and drainage conditions, and lay out individual units with the required quarter-acre area, corner markers, 30-foot street frontage, and proper setbacks. Streets within the park are generally constructed and submitted for approval to the Town Superintendent of Highways in accordance with town road specifications.

Residents of trailer parks or camps in East Fishkill have an interest in knowing that § 131-6 sets enforceable minimum standards for how the park is laid out, drained, and maintained. If conditions such as poor drainage, inadequate unit spacing, or missing street standards appear to fall short of these requirements, tenants can document the conditions and raise the issue with East Fishkill's local code enforcement or municipal authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal code can help residents understand what options may be available when a park appears to be operating outside these baseline rules.
